Cottage living defines this property with weathered wood and local stone, grounding the architecture in
timeless Appalachian style. The original structure was built in 1954, with the additional section added around 1983. Abundant natural light, a cozy stone fireplace, and relaxed, family-friendly gathering
areas both inside and out accentuate the casual vibe. The cottage faces a 2.11 ac pond, encircled by trees and lush landscaping, including fruit trees and grapevines. Two pasture areas can accommodate horses. This 1950s handcrafted home features 3 bedrooms, with the primary bedroom on the main floor, 2.5 baths, and a large family room. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms and a bonus room with a large closet. Meticulous maintenance and many recent upgrades make this gem move-in ready. The property is 8.5 miles from Tryon International Equestrian Center, with an easy drive to shopping and entertainment, as well as nearby airports in Asheville, Charlotte, and Greenville.
