About This Home

Perched high above downtown Tryon, Fox Cottage feels like a breath of fresh mountain air. Built in 1905 and thoughtfully updated, this Craftsman bungalow blends original pine floors and sunlit, forest-framing windows with modern comforts. Enjoy morning coffee or a sunset glass of wine on any of three shaded porches—or escape to “The Bird’s Nest” off the primary suite and sink into your favorite novel. The lower-level flex room, with its own porch and luxury-vinyl plank floors, is perfect as a studio, guest retreat or writer’s nook. Riders will love being minutes from the Tryon International Equestrian Center, FENCE and countless Landrum/Tryon riding trails. Rodgers Park, downtown galleries and cafes are walking-distance away, with both Landrum and Hendersonville within easy reach. Whether as a full-time home, weekend sanctuary or creative hideaway, Fox Cottage is a rare foothills gem—ready for its next chapter.
