3 Beds 1 Baths 4385519 MLS 1,064 SqFt. ACTIVE UNDER CONTRACT Status
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.

Tucked beneath majestic Warrior Mountain on 7.2 private ridge-top acres at the end of a quiet road, just minutes from downtown Tryon, this extraordinary retreat offers the rare feeling of living among the trees. Birdsongs replace traffic noise, and every window frames layered canopy views that change beautifully with the seasons. Meandering stone paths wind through a gently sloping sculpture garden, leading to hidden seating areas, lower parking, storage spaces, and even a wooded trail descending toward a running creek below. Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, the home blends rustic luxury with artistic character. Warm wood-paneled walls, handsome beams in the dining room, built in bookshelves and three gas log fireplaces create inviting gathering spaces throughout the home — including fireplaces in the formal den, dining/family room, and primary suite. A dramatic wall of large sliding windows, craftily screened, create the perfect setting for unforgettable Carolina spring and fall dinner parties immersed in the open air amongst the treetops. The detached two-car carport doubles as an outdoor entertaining pavilion with generous seating areas overlooking the grounds, while additional garden seating invites quiet mornings and evening conversations under the trees. The lower level offers a walk-out apartment with kitchenette and eclectic, artistic bath arrangements — ideal for guests, extended family, studio space, or creative retreat possibilities. Private, peaceful, and unlike anything else on the market, this one-of-a-kind mountain sanctuary captures the essence of refined woodland living in the heart of the Carolina foothills.

This 3.5-acre cul-de-sac lot offers stunning views in a serene, wooded, gated community with two spring-fed lakes. The town of Tryon is famous for its small-town charm, rich history, and extraordinary natural beauty—surrounded by mountain views, lush forests, and nature preserves, with a postcard-perfect downtown and a thriving world-class equestrian culture. Melrose Mountain is the area’s only gated neighborhood with natural spring lakes, and these pristine fishing and swimming lakes are a major draw for buyers, some of whom acquire land just for the privilege of enjoying the lakes. The homes on Melrose Mountain are truly spectacular, with many offering views all the way to the Smoky Mountains. With few available sites left, Tryon’s reputation as a well-kept secret retreat for over 100 years has made new development rare. Now, with remote work becoming more common, Melrose Mountain has emerged as an ideal year-round place to live. The community is quiet, secluded, and picturesque, offering a true mountain retreat feel—yet it’s only 10 minutes to the grocery store and all the conveniences of town. It's hard to fully capture the beauty and rarity of this opportunity, so the best way to experience it is to come see it for yourself. Please contact the agent for access to this gated community.
