Description

This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from April 02, 2021
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 1960’s 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".

What Locals Say about Tryon

  • Barbara C.
    "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 country small town. Little transport but also very little traffic. Easy to drive around. A variety of hone styles and sizes - some farms near some relaxed neighborhoods. "

    "You must have a car to live in the foothills. Public transport is minimal at best and expensive - and relatively infrequent. "

    "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. "

    "Tryon is a quiet, friendly town with low crime and great community involvement. Vibrant downtown, good local shops and services and within 25 miles of three large cities for shopping and entertainment."

    "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."

  • Ed G.
    "Tryon is basically a nice small town. If you're looking for entertainment, this is probably not the right place for you. If you have to spend the day at the mall once a week (or more), look elsewhere. If you like peace and quiet and don't mind a mountain view thrown in, this might be your cup of tea. If the public school system was better, I'd say it would be a decent place to raise a family. Probably best for retirement or at least after the kids are grown."
