About this home

Set within a private gated community on over 6 acres of gently rolling land, this exceptional estate captures the essence of refined country living with breathtaking, year-round mountain views and direct access to the renowned FETA trail system—offering an extensive network of riding trails just beyond your doorstep.

Ideally located just minutes from Landrum, Tryon, and Columbus, and in close proximity to the Tryon International Equestrian Center, this property offers a rare blend of privacy, accessibility, and lifestyle.

A dramatic entry welcomes you into a stunning living room designed to showcase the landscape, where walls of glass frame the mountain views and create an unforgettable first impression.

Just beyond, the great room offers a distinct yet connected gathering space, featuring soaring vaulted ceilings and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. This space flows seamlessly into the gourmet kitchen and out to expansive deck areas—creating an ideal setting for both everyday living and elevated entertaining.

The kitchen is thoughtfully appointed for both functionality and style, featuring a 48" Viking range, complemented by a walk-in pantry and seamless connection to the mudroom and laundry.

The main level offers over 2,700 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, including a private owner’s suite retreat with radiant heated floors in the spa-inspired bath and a generous walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms on the main level provide flexibility for guests or a private home office.

The lower level is designed for entertaining and versatility, featuring a custom bar, spacious recreation and billiards area, bonus room, and a full bathroom—ideal for hosting guests, hobbies, or flexible living needs. Direct access to the patio extends the entertaining space outdoors, while abundant storage areas add everyday practicality.

Outdoors, the property unfolds into a private retreat with open grassland, professional landscaping, and a circular driveway that enhances both arrival and functionality. A detached RV barn and additional workshop/barn provide exceptional versatility for storage, hobbies, or equipment.

Located just six minutes from shops, dining, and highway access—with convenient routes to Hendersonville, Greenville/Spartanburg, and both GSP and CLT airports—this estate offers the rare combination of convenience and true mountain living.

An exceptional offering for those seeking space, views, and versatility in one of the region’s most desirable equestrian-access communities.

A rough rule — actual qualification depends on your full debt picture, credit, and the lender. John can introduce you to lenders he trusts.
