About this home

INVESTORS, ENTREPRENEURS & VISIONARIES — Opportunity is knocking at 1491 Landrum Road, Tryon, NC! Positioned just minutes from the NC/SC line off I-26 near Landrum, SC — while benefiting from the advantages of the North Carolina side — this rare 5.38+/- acre tract offers mostly level, highly usable land with existing infrastructure already in place in one of the Foothills’ fastest-growing and most strategically located corridors. ~Nearby equestrian properties + possible access to CETA TRAIL systems, further add to the area’s appeal! (Inquire for more details and what already has been researched.) Featuring MU (Mixed Use) zoning and unrestricted acreage, the possibilities here are extensive. Whether you envision a live/work concept, short-term rentals, equestrian-related business, event venue, office space, boutique commercial use, mini-farm, redevelopment project, investment hold, or a blend of residential and business opportunities — this property offers the flexibility becoming increasingly difficult to find in this market. Buyer to verify all intended uses, zoning allowances, subdivision potential, and development plans with Polk County during due diligence. Location is everything, and this property delivers. Conveniently positioned near TIEC, downtown Tryon, Columbus, Landrum, Highway 74, and I-26, you are ideally situated with easy access to and between Asheville Airport, Charlotte International, and Greenville/Spartanburg which further enhances the long-term appeal for business, tourism, investment, or future development opportunities. The existing home is functional and could potentially be occupied immediately. At the same time, improvements continue — though let’s just say the exterior currently has a little more “potential” than polish at the moment ?? Seller is actively continuing cleanup, landscaping, and exterior improvements during the CS period (Active June 7th). Property is expected to continue evolving as work progresses... The true value lies in the land itself: mature woods, usable topography, existing infrastructure, exceptional accessibility, and long-term upside in an area experiencing continued growth and demand. Portions could potentially remain wooded for trails/privacy or be opened further depending on buyer's vision and intended use. An older barn structure remains on the property - given no contributory value; buyers may choose to remove it or explore possibilities depending on their plans. Entry is not advised for safety reasons. No showings permitted during Coming Soon status per MLS rules, though offers may still be submitted and reviewed. Nearby equestrian properties and CETA trail systems further contribute to the area’s appeal. Buyer to independently verify any future trail connectivity/access possibilities, as neighboring easements or agreements would be required. Usable acreage with this zoning flexibility, infrastructure, location, and accessibility is becoming increasingly rare in the Foothills. Broker Owned. Originally purchased for family plans that have since changed — creating an incredible opportunity for the next owner to capitalize on the potential here. Cash or strong financing offers welcomed. Possible owner financing may be considered with substantial down payment, subject to seller approval and terms.
