For the first time, Ly-Nard Hills Farm is offered for sale. There are places that hold more than land and buildings. Places that carry the quiet echo of hoofbeats at dawn, the soft murmur of coaching voices, and the laughter of riders who arrived as students and left as champions. Ly-Nard Hills Farm is one of those rare places. For decades this iconic farm has been home to a family whose passion for horses and people reached far beyond the fences. From these fields and arenas, show jumpers were carefully developed and Olympic-level equestrians refined their craft. The lessons taught here, the standards set here, and the kindness shared here touched thousands of lives across the country and around the world. Locally, the farm became a beloved gathering place—where community, mentorship, and lifelong friendships took root alongside the horses. Now the time has come for a new chapter. The main house offers four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, while a spacious guest house could be made into two separate homes as rentals—six bedrooms total one with a full kitchen and the other with a kitchenette. Back of property is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home with pasture and two run-in sheds for horses. Nearby groom cabins with two bedrooms and two bathrooms complete the living accommodations, making the property well-suited for continued equestrian use or a private retreat. The barn features 34 stalls. This is more than a property. It is a living legacy offered for sale, ready for the next steward who understands that land this special is meant to be used, loved, and shared. The farm presents remarkable flexibility: continue as a premier horse farm, create a private family estate with equestrian amenities, develop a riding camp or educational program, or explore dividing portions of the land while preserving its character. Some of this acreage is also included in the listing for **9818 State Road Hwy 9**, offering additional options. The property also offers direct access to the CETA horse trail system, allowing riders to enjoy miles of scenic equestrian trails right from the farm. Sold as-is. Some owner financing is available. Campers and a variety of farm and equestrian equipment may be purchased separately, allowing a smooth transition for the next owner. This is a rare chance to own a piece of equestrian history—land that has shaped riders, built character, and created memories that still travel the world. The fences still stand. The arenas still wait. The next chapter is ready to begin.

Escape to your own slice of Western North Carolina wilderness. This 31.65 acre property adjoins NC Wildlife Resources Gamelands (P21-63, 78.5+ acres), giving you a rare buffer of protected land right at your doorstep. The headwaters of Big Bradley Creek are on the property, and a wide creek winds through the land, adding to its natural character. Appraised at $705,000 in November 2025, this property has been sustainably logged by the current owner, who had originally planned to place a conservation easement and establish a tree farm. That easement was never finalized, which means the opportunity is still on the table for the next owner to put one in place and take advantage of the tax benefits that come with it. Access is via Early Road, a gravel road with a 20 foot wide easement (note: there is no official road maintenance agreement in place). Several logging roads are already cut into the property, offering a head start toward multiple home sites, some of which boast long range views. Duke Energy service is available at the road. The possibilities here are wide open. Build your dream home, create a family compound, develop and sell individual lots, or preserve the land and enjoy the tax advantages of a conservation easement. However you envision it, this property offers the space and setting to make it happen.

Looking to downsize...this charming 1950s home is nestled on 2.80 acres in Polk County, NC and offers the perfect blend of peaceful country living and convenient access to town and major highways. Perched atop a gentle hill, this 1,031 sf farmhouse enjoys year-round mountain views, while overlooking a picturesque horse farm. The classic wraparound porch invites you to sit a spell and enjoy the quiet surroundings before stepping inside this cozy home! The living room is complete with warm cedar paneling and a propane glass-rocks fireplace. From there, the home flows easily into the updated kitchen and dining area or toward the 2 small bedrooms, both bedrooms maintaining the home’s original charm (without built-in closets). 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. Multiple outbuildings, storage sheds, animal shelters, an attached 2-car garage, and a 2-car carport make this property ideal for hobby farming, gardening, or simply embracing a slower pace of life. This property currently shares a well and generator with the cabin behind the house, (owned by same seller). That property will soon be marketed separately, and so the seller is in the process of getting a new power meter placed at the adjoining cabin, but intends to convey both with the shared well. Whether you’re dreaming of a hobby farm, mini homestead, mountain retreat, or quiet country getaway, this special property offers timeless charm in the beautiful foothills of western North Carolina. Shown by appointment only! Selling As-Is. PLEASE...DO NOT WALK AROUND THE PROPERTY WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT AND DO NOT GO DOWN TO THE CABIN PROPERTY THAT'S FOR SALE BEHIND THIS PROPERTY WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT FOR THAT PROPERTY, (See MLS #4379539).

Welcome to The Hayloft, a rare and romantic estate from a more gracious era—built in 1946 by Carter Brown, the man whose influence helped shape Tryon into the equestrian community it is today. Brown's hand still shows in every corner. Heart pine floors, hand-hewn beams, a stone fireplace anchoring the living room, paneled walls that only deepen with time and this remains one of the few original homes he built. Eighty years on, it reads like the source material for Hunting Country itself, it is heritage and an invitation into a life of tradition, elegance, and the enduring rhythm of equestrian living Twenty-four acres run across pasture, woods, and gentle slope, with stunning year-round mountain views and a serene creek along the lower edge. The property functions as a true compound, 3 separate residences sit thoughtfully placed for privacy and rhythm. The 3-bedroom main home opens into rooms that feel collected rather than decorated, with vaulted ceilings, beams that have held their line for eight decades, and a primary suite organized around its own fireplace. The renovated kitchen carries the load for both holiday cooking and Tuesday morning coffee, with a gas range, double oven, beverage refrigerator, generous island, and a walk-in pantry sized for people who actually cook. Open floorplan flow runs from the kitchen through the dining room and into a family room and den, both with fireplaces of their own. Sunday dinners and quiet weekday breakfasts find their own rhythms in the same set of rooms. The primary suite sits behind its own fireplace, with a walk-in closet, an updated bath, and the kind of stillness that only old houses on private acreage can offer. The two-bedroom plus office/flex, two-and-a-half-bath guest house is a proper residence in its own right at 3,427 square feet, with full kitchen, two-car garage, an expansive lower level, and a back deck that opens to the property. Long-term rental, extended family, or staff: it earns its keep all three ways. A pool house with a one-bedroom apartment ties to the indoor pool and entertaining bar, adding a third option for staff, family, or additional income. Total interior space exceeds 6,750 square feet across the three homes. A whole-house generator, high-speed internet, and ductless mini-split climate control bring the historic bones up to modern working order. Current ownership has invested in upgrades over the past two years. Outside, front and rear porches run the length of the main house, framing year-round mountain views and the kind of long, slow sunsets that earned this part of the Carolinas its reputation. Complete with a 4-stall center-aisle barn with half bath, wash rack, hay storage, and tack room. A 2-stall shed row barn. A 2-stall run-in shed, 8 fenced paddocks across 12 acres of pasture and slope. The covered Morton arena measures 192 by 66 feet, with lights, European walls, and sand and rubber footing. The property connects directly to the FETA trail system for miles of trail riding and Tryon International Equestrian Center is approximately 20 minutes away. The location pulls its weight for owners who travel. Hendersonville is about 30 minutes north and Asheville roughly 45. Spartanburg and Greenville both sit under 45 minutes south, with downtown Greenville's food and arts scene a regular weekend draw. GSP and Asheville Regional airports come in at 35 to 45 minutes for domestic travel. Charlotte Douglas Airport is approximately 90 minutes. The Hayloft is rare not because it is historic and not because it is large, but because there are only a handful of original Carter Brown homes with equestrian amenities that you will ever find. A property this stitched into the history of Tryon does not come up often, and rarely twice in one generation.
