The property is designed for those who want room to live, create, garden, keep animals and enjoy the tranquility of country life. Substantial 6x6 locust-post fencing surrounds the grounds, while an existing paddock, stall, tack room and hay storage area provide an excellent foundation for a small hobby farm or equestrian-inspired lifestyle. Bring the goats, chickens, donkey, ponies or potentially a horse or two and make the property your own. One of the most distinctive features is the home’s remarkable all-under-one-roof design. At one end you’ll find the dedicated living quarters, while the opposite end opens into an enormous wood-finished bonus/flex area with soaring character and an incredible amount of usable space. Although this area is not currently designated as finished living quarters, it offers tremendous versatility for entertaining, recreation, hobbies, an art or creative studio, workshop, additional storage or possible future conversion, subject to applicable permits and approvals. Additional spaces and amenities include a studio with electricity installed, tack room, stall, paddock, hay storage and covered carport, providing an unusual combination of residential, recreational and practical space in one single-story property. Significant recent improvements make the offering even more compelling. An expansive **brand-new roof—representing an approximately $58,000 investment—**has recently been installed, and a brand-new well is currently being installed, replacing the property’s previous spring-fed water source. The infrastructure continues outdoors with underground utility lines, private-drive access and two existing hookups for high-speed internet, subject to buyer verification of provider and service availability. Step outside to peaceful pasture and pond views, distant mountain scenery and rolling countryside, with beautiful sunrise and sunset skies providing an ever-changing backdrop. The property has also been a haven for local wildlife, with the previous owner reporting frequent hummingbirds, bluebirds, wild turkeys and other native wildlife. Garden. Create. Keep animals. Relax and watch the sun disappear behind the foothills. This is a property that invites you to use the land rather than simply look at it. And for horse enthusiasts, the location adds another dimension. Tryon International Equestrian Center is approximately 9 miles away, placing one of the region’s premier equestrian destinations within easy reach while allowing you to return home to the privacy and tranquility of your own country retreat.

If you've been dreaming of a true farmhouse with old-fashioned charm, privacy, and room to breathe, 140 Painter Road may be the one you've been waiting for. Nestled on 2.33 unrestricted acres, this 1930s farmhouse offers the character you simply cannot recreate, while thoughtful updates bring modern convenience to this special property. A covered country front porch welcomes you home, complete with a screen door that practically begs to be left open when the weather is just right. Inside, the spacious living room flows into the dining room, creating the perfect setting for Sunday dinners, holiday gatherings, and making memories with family and friends. Original beadboard ceilings and hardwood floors preserve the timeless character of the home and serve as beautiful reminders of a simpler time. The home offers two bedrooms, including a generously sized primary bedroom. The kitchen has been updated with new cabinets and new appliances, while the bathroom features an updated shower. A large walk-in mudroom and laundry room provides a practical transition from the outdoors and includes a sink. The washer and dryer remain with the home. Outside is where the farmhouse lifestyle really comes to life. A fenced area off the rear porch provides a convenient space for dogs, while mature trees offer shade and privacy throughout the property. In the rear sits an old barn with eight stalls and lean-to storage on both sides. The barn is in need of repair, but its sturdy construction and timeless character add another layer of authenticity to this unique property. The 2.33 acres are unrestricted, giving you plenty of room for pets, animals, gardening, recreation, or simply enjoying the peace and quiet of country living. And then there is the view. Directly across the road, a large agricultural tract creates an expansive pastoral backdrop that makes this property feel much larger than its actual acreage. You may only own 2.33 acres, but the view makes it feel like you've got 100. The roof and windows have been replaced, and the water heater is approximately three years old. Conveniently located with easy access to Highway 221, Chesnee, and Forest City, this property offers the privacy and peaceful setting you've been searching for without feeling completely removed from everyday conveniences. If you are looking for a cookie-cutter house, this isn't it. If you are looking for a true farmhouse with 1930s character, a private country setting, unrestricted acreage, mature trees, pastoral views, and a front porch made for slow mornings and quiet evenings, come take a look. This one has the kind of charm that simply can't be manufactured.
