Tryon with year-round mountain views: Enjoy your coffee on the balcony as fog lifts off the ridgeline, then a five-minute walk into downtown Tryon — "The Friendliest Town in the South" — for whatever the day calls for. A gallery opening at the Fine Arts Center. Dinner without a reservation. A new book from the library, read that evening by the fire. Unit 305 was renovated in 2020–2021 with exactly this kind of life in mind. The main level flows easily from room to room — hardwood floors underfoot, a gas-vented fireplace for the nights you'd rather stay in, and a granite kitchen island that's as good for a solo dinner as it is for hosting a few friends. The primary suite is unhurried: a walk-in closet, its own washer/dryer, a space that feels yours entirely. A second bedroom flexes as a home office or a room for guests when they visit. Downstairs, the lower level keeps expanding the possibilities — a den, third bedroom, full bath, and a covered patio that catches the morning light. Beyond that, a 26' x 25' basement, currently an office and workout space, is ready for whatever comes next: a studio, a workshop, more storage than you'll likely ever need. The exterior work is done — new roof, siding, gutters, fresh paint — and the HOA is healthy and well-run, which means your weekends are yours. No mowing, no gutter cleaning, no maintenance calls. Just mountains, a walkable town, and time back in your day.

Welcome to your new home at "Derbyshire". Nestled in the rolling landscape of Columbus, North Carolina, Derbyshire is one of those places where life simply feels better. The gated community Derbyshire was designed with a lifestyle in mind, with deep equestrian roots, including a large community barn, a well-maintained riding arena, a round pen, multiple paddocks and pastures, hay storage, a tack room, and direct access to both the CETA and FETA trail systems. An ideal area, whether you own a horse (or two!) or just love the beauty of tree-lined streets and classically fenced pastures. At the center of Derbyshire sits Lake Sandy Plains, a 33-acre spring-fed lake. The lake views from your new home are breathtaking. Take a leisurely walk around the lake, fish, kayak, paddle board, canoe, and swim! Enjoy about 8 miles of walking trails around the community, or beautiful misty mornings and quiet sunsets. It won't take long to spot the "local" turtles basking on a log, the daily flights of a family of geese, and a lovely Blue Heron keeping a watchful eye on his kingdom. Your new home is set on an elevated 1.27-acre lot with the option to purchase the adjoining treed lot for additional space and privacy. This custom-built home was completed in 2020 by Mapleton Lane Custom Homes. This spacious home spans 5,314 square feet across three beautifully finished levels, offering space for hobbies, extended families, exercise, entertainment, and comfort. The main level, with its tall ceilings, offers 2,679 square feet of exceptional living space, centered on an open family room/dining/kitchen floor plan. The kitchen has a breakfast bar, a walk-in pantry, built-in features, and premium appliances. A dedicated home office provides a quiet retreat for work or reading, while the main-level laundry and mudroom add everyday practicality. The primary bedroom suite on the main level is a genuine sanctuary — nearly 284 square feet with two walk-in closets and a luxurious en-suite bath featuring a large shower and free-standing tub. At the other end of the home, on the main level, are two additional bedrooms that share a well-appointed full bath, making single-floor living entirely achievable for those who want it. Above the main level is a private 908-square-foot bedroom suite with its own full bath, ideal for family members returning home, long-term guests, a live-in caregiver, or even a creative studio retreat. It functions as a self-contained escape with its own sense of privacy and quiet. Downstairs, the walkout lower level adds 1,726 square feet of finished space, including a full bath, wet bar, ample storage, and flex space for an additional private living area, hobbies, a home gym, or whatever your imagination can conjure. And let's not forget the 390+ square feet of space, ideal for a workshop, with exterior access via an overhead garage door. Modern infrastructure completes the picture. Derbyshire is served by fiber optic internet, natural gas, municipal water, underground utilities, and underground power lines — meaning you enjoy the beauty and peace of mountain-adjacent country living without sacrificing a single convenience. Each floor has its own zoned heating and cooling, a whole-home approach to energy efficiency. This is not just a home. It's a way of living — unhurried, secure, beautiful, and only minutes from Landrum, SC, Tryon, and Columbus, NC. Derbyshire is only 20 minutes from Greenville and Spartanburg, SC, and 40 minutes from Asheville, NC. This peaceful jewel in the heart of horse country won't be available long...
