About this home

Spectacular 40-acre equestrian estate in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, just minutes from the Tryon International Equestrian Center. Privacy, craftsmanship, history and location converge in this extraordinary Western North Carolina retreat. Completely hidden from the road and neighboring properties, the main residence rests atop the estate, offering a rare combination of seclusion and accessibility. The upper level features two en-suite bedrooms, including a luxurious primary suite with a spacious spa-inspired bath featuring a jetted soaking tub. Designed for everyday living and entertaining, the main level offers multiple gathering spaces, including two sitting rooms, a fireplace, multiple dining areas and two powder rooms.

A large rear deck spans the width of the home, creating the ideal setting for outdoor dining and enjoying the surrounding landscape. The walkout lower level provides exceptional flexibility with a recreation room featuring a fireplace, exercise room, workshop and additional finished spaces ideal for guests, hobbies or extended entertaining. A private drive leads to the separate one-bedroom residence featuring a full kitchen, full bath, laundry facilities and wrap-around deck. The lower level includes a three-car garage with individual bays, a half bath, and extra hobby space. Fenced outdoor areas provide a welcoming environment for pets. A fire pit gathering area connects the secondary residence to the impressive 40-by-50-foot four-stall barn, which features large sliding doors, side garage-style doors and direct access to one of four fenced pastures totaling approximately 10 acres. The large hayloft has been transformed into an exceptional entertaining space with a 24-foot table comfortably accommodating large gatherings. Additional amenities include dedicated RV and horse trailer parking with two 220-volt hookups and easy turnaround. The property reflects the rich heritage of Western North Carolina, a region known for its historic gold mining and mountain traditions. The creek bordering the southern boundary highlights the area’s prospecting history.
