About this home

Unparalleled development or legacy estate opportunity! 109 +/- pristine acres in the heart of Saluda, NC, directly fronting the highly anticipated Saluda Grade Trail—the historic 31.5-mile rails-to-trails project connecting Inman, SC, through Tryon, up to Zirconia, NC. This remarkable property offers the ultimate canvas for a premier mountain destination, with water supply options capable of supporting a master-planned community of 30 to 45 cabins. The acreage features multiple cleared trail networks already weaving through the land, leading to exceptional, elevated home sites boasting long-range mountain views.

Enjoy the perfect balance of complete mountain privacy with unmatched convenience: located just minutes from the historic charm of downtown Saluda and Tryon, with rapid access to the highway for a quick commute to Hendersonville, Asheville, or Upstate South Carolina. Whether you are looking to build a private family compound, a luxury eco-resort, or a high-yield cabin rental community capitalizing on the massive recreational corridor of the new iconic Rails to Trails, this is a once-in-a-generation acquisition.
