Set on nearly 50 pristine acres in the foothills of Western North Carolina, this fully re-imagined estate offers a rare blend of refined living and premier equestrian amenities. Thoughtfully renovated, the property delivers a turnkey lifestyle with privacy, beauty, and modern upgrades. The stately brick home has been extensively updated, including a new roof (2025), windows, flooring, paint, siding, and a striking front entry. Inside, a redesigned kitchen features granite countertops, new appliances, and custom finishes. Spa-inspired bathrooms including a luxury bath with bidet- elevate the home’s comfort. Hardwood floors span the upper level, while luxury LVP enhances the lower level. The lower level provides flexible living space with a media room, full bath, and an additional finished room with closet. Major system improvements include updated electrical and plumbing, a whole-house Aquasana filtration system, and a serviced gas-log fireplace. Outdoor living is highlighted by a newly constructed back deck overlooking manicured grounds and serene natural surroundings. A greenhouse retreat with a Michael Phelps swim spa creates a private wellness escape. Equestrian facilities are equally impressive. The 9 stall barn includes large stalls with automatic watering capability, a remodeled apartment, climate-controlled and updated tack room, wash bay, and hay storage. The property features 12 open acres with two fenced paddocks for rotational grazing, open pastureland, and space for a future riding arena. Enjoy scenic trails throughout the property, along with two creeks, and a natural spring. Two serviced wells, one for the home and one for the barn, both feature new pressure tanks. Additional highlights include RV hookups, a concrete driveway, garage with workshop, and storage building. Conveniently located just 3.5 miles from Lake James State Park, near I-40, and within easy reach of Asheville and Tryon International Equestrian Center. A rare opportunity to own a turnkey luxury equestrian estate where sophistication meets serenity.
