Tucked away at the end of First Street just moments from the heart of downtown Tryon, this rare 1.07-acre property offers an increasingly hard-to-find opportunity to create something special in one of Tryon’s most desirable close-in settings. The wooded site rises gently above town and may offer the potential for mountain views with selective clearing. Restaurants, galleries, shops, and performance venues are all just minutes away, yet the setting feels private and secluded among mature trees and established landscaping. The property includes a 1930s cottage in largely original condition with significant deferred maintenance. The home may be suitable for restoration as a guest cottage, artist retreat, or rental property, though many buyers may choose to remove the existing structure and build anew. This is believed to be one of the last truly exceptional undeveloped in-town acreage opportunities remaining in Tryon. Please note: sellers are conveying a 77% interest in the land and a 33% interest in the house. The owners of the remaining interests are currently unknown. Property is priced to reflect the expense, uncertainty, and legal process a purchaser may undertake to clear title through a partition action or other legal remedy. Buyers are encouraged to consult legal counsel regarding title matters prior to purchase.
