About this home
Welcome to Vita Nova Farm, an exceptional 90-acre equestrian estate in the beautiful Western North Carolina countryside. Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully developed, this remarkable property combines a custom eight-stall horse barn with extensive equestrian infrastructure, established turnout areas, and opportunities for easy future expansion with a conceptual site plan already in place designed by Anderson Engineering. The impressive barn features a spacious center aisle with soaring ceilings, rubber flooring, and eight 12' x 12' stalls with Classic Equine stall fronts with removable dividers for easy expansion, interlocking rubber mat flooring, Nelson grain feeders, and individual fans. Additional amenities include a brick wash rack with hot and cold water, custom Lucas Equine cross tie posts, and 2 overhead drying fans, a climate-controlled tack room, spacious lounge, equipment/feed room, dedicated office with video monitoring of stalls and turn out paddocks, half bath, and separate laundry facilities. A well-appointed one-bedroom apartment with full kitchen, living area, full bath, walk-in closet, and private laundry offers comfortable accommodations for an owner, trainer, or caretaker. Outside, extensive four-board fencing, three expansive pastures, four dry lot paddocks, three run-in shelters, water spigots, and Varnan automatic waterers provide a well-developed foundation for any diligent horse owner in daily horse and pasture management, breeding, or training. A stone entrance with automatic gates adds a distinguished arrival, while generator wiring at the barn provides additional infrastructure. A 100’ x 200’ large grass derby field offers plenty of space for schooling and training while your future arena is being built. A graded area is already prepared for a future 175' x 275' Martin Collins competition grade riding arena and 70-foot round pen. A picturesque creek winds between the fields, and an attractive homesite presents the opportunity to build a custom residence overlooking your own equestrian retreat. With convenient access to Tryon International Equestrian Center, Asheville, and Charlotte, Vita Nova Farm offers a compelling combination of rural privacy and regional accessibility in Western North Carolina's four-season climate. Whether envisioned as a private horse farm, professional training or boarding facility, breeding operation, or destination for clinics and equestrian events, the property offers remarkable versatility. Additional possibilities may include agritourism retreats, cabins, RV sites, or other guest accommodations. Discover the possibilities of Vita Nova Farm, where substantial equestrian infrastructure meets room to grow.
