About This Home
As of August 2026Horse property in Polk County perched on 25 acres combining 2 fenced-in pastures with plenty of space to expand, this custom retreat is built for people who live outside. A private, half-mile winding drive leads past a 60' x 40' workshop with a wonderful apartment for visiting family, friends or Short Term Rentals, before continuing on to the main house with long range mountain views. - Your perfect base camp after a day in the saddle or hiking on the trails.
Step inside and you’re greeted by open ceilings lined with pine tongue-and-groove boards, hand-hewn oak beams, and an artful wood stove surround. The open floor plan invites gatherings, while the main-level primary suite offers a walk in shower with all new countertops and sinks. Every detail, from boot-friendly entrances to gear-ready storage, is designed for life lived in muddy boots and trail dust. Year-round and winter mountain views frame the backdrop.
Built for Horses, Trails & Creativity with a private 1/2 mi. trail on property, close proximity to FETA trail access and a new 5 mile Polk County Mountain biking trail, all within 12 mins to Tryon International Equestrian Center, 20 mins to Lake Lure, 1hr to Greenville or Asheville and less than 2 hrs to Charlotte.

- A 60' x 40' workshop - a dream space for additional horse stalls /tack storage, woodworking, welding, or ATV maintenance — with an attached apartment for guests or multigenerational living.
