About this House

Long known as The River House, this circa 1900 stunner perched well above the Pacolet River was once home to famed Tryon pioneer Carter Brown and has been an area showpiece for well over a century. The distinguished home has remained in the same family since conveyed from Brown in the 1960s and much of the detail is original. The 4/5 bedroom home is handsome, timeless and spacious. The living, dining, and keeping rooms are simply delightful, and outstanding details can be found throughout the home, including 10 ceilings, custom millwork, heart pine flooring, and 6 wood-burning fireplaces. The peaceful riverside setting also includes a quaint guest house, rustic barn and pasture area. This truly remarkable property is a must see for anyone who appreciates the character and charm of historic homes. Well-suited for a seasonal second home or family retreat and those who understand and appreciate the senescent nature of older homes. Updating will be required. Offered "as is".
390 River Rd, Tryon, NC 28782 is a 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 4,403 sqft single-family home built in 1900. It last sold for $615,000 on Jan 21, 2021. It is currently off market. The Trulia Estimate is $917,700, with a rent estimate of $3,229/month.

    "We have a large community of horse owners. Lots of unemployed former textile workers - and beautiful hill country and a large population of retirees. Low traffic. "

    "It’s a horse community with lovely mountains and little shops and winding roads. It’s quite full of retirees and equally populated by lifetime residents. It does not take long to feel at home. "

    "This is a semi-rural area. Most homes are outside the city limits and are an acre or more. Many homes are mobile homes and the rest of one story single family dwellings. As such, most homeowners are not considered part of a community - and tend to celebrate or socialize with friends either from church or from the local horse community. "

    "Beautiful area with lots of horse farms and vintage Tryon homes. Close to town yet you feel as if you are very far away. Many homes have mountain views with ample acreage with pastures and wooded settings. I like the area so much I own a rental property in the area. I consider very desirable location."

    "Amazing schools. As a foreign service family we move often and send our kids to many schools. Polk county ranks at the top for us. Both kids are thriving here academically and socially. The town is safe and clean and our kids enjoy a level of freedom and independence unheard of these days. We love it. "

    "Lived in tryon for some time. I moved back north. Not a very friendly community. Best if you have strong ties here. People originally from around this area feel as if people moving here is not good for them. Poor economy. Businesses constantly failing. And it is true there is an alcohol problem as many people are bored and unhappy in tryon especially people under 50 or so. Not a good place for children. This town should also be red flagged as a gang stalking community. Ideal for retirees who don't go out much."
