About this home

Situated on approximately 5.18 scenic acres in Polk County's sought-after Green Creek community, this classic brick ranch offers the perfect blend of space, privacy, and opportunity. Surrounded by mature hardwoods, open pasture, and wooded acreage, the property provides a peaceful setting with room to enjoy the outdoors while remaining just minutes from Tryon International Equestrian Center, HWY 74 and Interstate 26. This split-level home features three bedrooms and two full bathrooms on the upper level with a practical floor plan that has been lovingly maintained over the years. The main level offers a practical kitchen, comfortable living area, and a versatile flex room that can easily serve as a formal dining room, home office, library, or pantry. The basement provides a open, accessible laundry area along with additional storage space. While the home retains much of its original character, several important improvements have already been completed, allowing the next owner to update at their own pace. Recent enhancements include new kitchen appliances and a hot water heater that are less than seven months old, a beautifully remodeled hall bathroom, and a roof with stainless steel gutters installed within the past three years. Outside, an attached two-car carport, generous concrete parking area, and expansive yard offer plenty of room for vehicles, equipment, and guests. The property consists of two separately deeded parcels totaling approximately 5.18 acres, including 2.41 acres with the residence and an adjoining 2.93-acre parcel of open pasture and field located behind the house. This unique configuration offers flexibility for horses, gardening, recreation, or future investment opportunities. Whether you're looking for a private homestead, hobby farm, or simply a place to enjoy the beauty of Western North Carolina, this property offers endless possibilities. With usable acreage, a solidly built home, and a location in one of Polk County's most desirable rural communities, this is a rare opportunity to own a property that combines privacy, functionality, and the chance to make it your own. Additional Opportunity: The neighboring garage apartment located at 90 McEntire Road is also available for purchase under a separate listing. Bordering this property, it presents a unique opportunity for buyers seeking additional living space, a guest residence, rental income potential, or the ability to expand their overall acreage. Contact the listing agent for additional details regarding the separate offering.
