MOVE IN READY one-level ranch in one of Tryon Horse Country’s most desirable and scenic locations. The 4.8 acre site is surrounded by expansive (ie 60+ acre farms) historic equestrian estates, conservation lands, green pastures and quiet country roads. This property offers privacy, views, and the perfect place for enjoying the equestrian lifestyle without maintaining a farm. Several nearby boarding barns are accessible by golf cart or horseback. The land and woods surrounding the house are protected from future development to maintain the natural setting of the area, to preserve the woods and trails. The open floor plan provides comfortable single-level living with wooded and winter mountain views from nearly every room. A large finished walk-out lower level includes guest space, full bath, and a large garage workshop with wide access from the back driveway. Thoughtfully, meticulously updated as the owners’ intended forever home with new kitchen countertops (2025), HVAC (2021), well pump (2021), water heater and whole-house filtration system (2020). Reliable Spectrum high-speed internet. Rare combination of location, privacy, upgrades, and true one-level living in historic Tryon’s hunting country. NOTE ON DIRECTIONS: Hunting Country Road (miles of dreamy picturesque pastures and horse farms) begins just south of the Tryon line. turn onto S River Road at Burnt Chimney, the the house will be on your left. This route to the house is much more direct (and beautiful) than coming in from the north side just below Highway 108. That route twists and turns along the Pacolet River and people often get lost.
