Some properties are built. Others are thoughtfully created. Set on 18.19 acres with direct access to FETA trails, this purposefully designed estate pairs a custom-built residence, beautifully appointed guest house, and exceptional equestrian facilities for those who want to embrace an extraordinary equestrian lifestyle while enjoying the rewards of thoughtfully cultivated country living, all set against long range views of rolling landscape. Every aspect of the property reflects careful planning. The custom-built residence features an 11 kW solar array, a 15 kW Franklin whole-home battery system, and a 7.5 kW backup generator, providing peace of mind in every season. A soaring stone fireplace and vaulted ceilings anchor the great room, where walls of windows frame the surrounding landscape. Walnut milled directly from the property crowns the fireplace mantle and appears throughout the home, a subtle reminder that the craftsmanship extends beyond the walls themselves. Upstairs, the primary suite overlooks the pastures and hills beyond, with a spa-inspired bath finished in natural stone and a walk-in shower designed for unwinding after a day outdoors. The unfinished basement is already equipped with radiant in-slab heat, framed for a future two-bedroom, 1.5-bath expansion with multiple flex spaces, and plans are available for the next owner. The recently completed guest house offers its own well and septic, creating exceptional flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or a private home office. Designed with horse and rider in mind, the professionally equipped barn features four stalls, each with an attached walk-out paddock, direct track access to pasture, an 80' x 175' arena with GGT footing, a wash stall, tack room, workshop, and laundry, creating an efficient setup that's equally suited for everyday riding and serious training. Beyond the barn, the property embraces a lifestyle that's increasingly difficult to find. Rolling fenced pasture gives way to an established orchard, raised garden beds, herb gardens, and space for small livestock, creating an opportunity to cultivate the land as intentionally as you enjoy it. When the work is done, the setting shifts effortlessly to relaxation. A fiberglass pool with solar thermal preheat, an automatic cover, and a low-chlorine filtration system is complemented by a poolside pergola and outdoor kitchen, creating an inviting space for entertaining family and friends. Just minutes from the heart of shopping in Landrum or Tryon, this is more than an equestrian property. It's an estate thoughtfully designed for generations of memories, where exceptional horse facilities, refined living, and a genuine connection to the land come together in one remarkable offering.

Engel Lukas Hall (Norwegian for formerly St. Luke’s Hospital) — Tryon, North Carolina Engel Lukas Hall is a rare historic landmark property in Tryon, North Carolina, originally opened as St. Luke’s Hospital in 1929. Set on approximately 2.35 acres just off Highway 176, the property combines significant local history, substantial restoration work, flexible redevelopment potential, and views overlooking Tryon with partial mountain vistas. Property History: St. Luke’s Hospital was established through the vision of Dr. Allen J. Jervey and Dr. Marion C. Palmer, who recognized the need for a local hospital serving Polk County families. Historical sources indicate the hospital opened on November 8, 1929, after support from local donors and philanthropic funding, the equivalent of approxmiately $3 million in today's dollars, brought the project to life. The original structure was built from local stone by local artisans, and later brick wings were added in the 1950s to expand services. After hospital operations moved to Columbus in the early 1970s, the former facility was used by Polk County for county offices. education services, and multiple, other uses for many years. By the late 2010s, the property had fallen into severe disrepair before restoration efforts began under its current ownership. Restoration and Improvements: The current owners undertook extensive work to stabilize and reclaim the landscape and building. Initial efforts focused on securing the structure by drying in the building, extensive replacing and rebuilding windows, and rebuilding major sections of the Spanish terracotta tile roof with new tiles, copper flashing and copper nails, and replacement rafters and decking, and rebuilding architectural features. They then cleared invasive overgrowth, removed massive, abandoned debris from the interior, and disposed of substantial amounts of abandoned materials to reveal the building’s original architectural character. Following careful demolition and massive cleanup, the grounds were eradicated of kudzu and replanted with more almost 10,000 trees, shrubs, and fruit trees, significantly improving the site’s appearance and long-term potential. Property Features: • Approximately 40,000 square feet overall, with the original stone hospital comprising a substantial portion of the structure • Approx. 38 rooms/offices and 17 bathrooms • High exposed ceilings with steel trusses, plus concrete walls and floors • Large commercial kitchen with walk-in refrigeration • Dumbwaiter, two elevators, and multiple stairwells • All-glass enclosed patio • Brick wings reportedly designed by local architect Holland Brady and constructed with locally made brick in a Flemish bond pattern • More than 30 parking spaces across two parking areas • Three-phase power and a whole-hospital generator • Convenient location a block above the planned Rails to Trails corridor connecting Zirconia, North Carolina, to Inman, South Carolina Zoning and Potential Uses: Under the current GB-CU zoning, Prospective buyers often envision hospitality or food-and-beverage uses for this property; however, those uses may require some limited Conditional Use Rezoning and Town approval.

Previous owner used one room as a bedroom and the other as a large walk-in closet. A number of home improvements have been completed since 2020 to enhanced the home while preserving its vintage character. Additional features include a wood-burning stove in the unfinished basement/crawlspace area, newer garage doors with remote controls, fenced yard around the house, transferable CPI security system, and attic storage space. The land has long been enjoyed for farming and homesteading, with a ready-to-use garden area, mature blueberry and blackberry bushes, fig trees, roses, and plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the outdoors.
