About this House

MOVE IN READY one-level ranch in one of Tryon Horse Country’s most desirable and scenic locations.

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.

    "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."
