About this home
Built in 1946 by Carter Brown, the visionary architect of Tryon’s equestrian identity. The Hayloft stands as a foundational piece of Hunting Country history. Spanning 24 private acres of rolling pasture, mature woods, and a serene creek boundary, this rare three-residence compound marries eight decades of authentic craftsmanship with modern luxury, offering year-round mountain views and direct access to the FETA trail system. Architectural Heritage & Main Residence Crafted from the ground up to reflect the timeless spirit of the region, the historic main house retains its original heart pine floors, hand-hewn structural beams, and rich wood-paneled walls. • Living Spaces: An expansive stone fireplace anchors the main living area, complemented by a seamless open-concept flow leading into a formal dining room, a cozy den, and a family room—each featuring its own dedicated fireplace. • The Kitchen: Designed for effortless hosting and daily culinary function, the renovated kitchen features a generous center island, gas range, double wall oven, beverage refrigerator, and a walk-in pantry. • Primary Suite: Positioned as a private sanctuary, the primary bedroom centers around its own fireplace and includes a custom walk-in closet and an updated luxury bath. Compound Infrastructure & Guest Accommodations Totaling over 6,750 square feet across three distinct structures, the property is engineered for generational living, high-end hosting, or staff accommodation. Crucially, the estate's independent guest accommodations offer a built-in financial advantage: robust rental income potential capable of fully covering the primary mortgage, effectively allowing for ownership of a premier historic estate with the cost-benefit of living for free. • The Guest House: A substantial 3,427-square-foot residence offering 2 bedrooms, a dedicated office/flex space, 2.5 bathrooms, a full kitchen, a two-car garage, expansive lower-level space, and a private back deck. • The Pool House: Features a climate-controlled indoor pool, an entertaining bar, and a private 1-bedroom apartment suite. • Modern Upgrades: Fully modernized for seamless day-to-day operation with a whole-house generator, high-speed internet, and independent ductless mini-split climate systems, alongside recent comprehensive property enhancements. Equestrian Facilities Equipped to serve serious equestrian pursuits, the estate functions as a complete training and boarding facility: • Barns & Outbuildings: A 4-stall center-aisle barn featuring a half-bath, wash rack, dedicated tack room, and overhead hay storage; a 2-stall shed row barn; and a 2-stall run-in shed. • Paddocks & Arena: Eight freshly fenced paddocks spanning 12 acres of manicured pasture and gentle slope. The covered Morton arena measures an impressive 192x66 feet, outfitted with professional lighting, European kick walls, and premium sand-and-rubber footing. • Location: Direct connection to miles of legendary FETA trails, with the Tryon International Equestrian Center located just 20 minutes away. Strategic Location Positioned for both private seclusion and effortless connectivity, the estate offers convenient proximity to key regional hubs and airports: • Hendersonville: ~30 minutes north • Asheville & Greenville: ~45 minutes • GSP & Asheville Regional Airports: ~35–45 minutes • Charlotte Douglas International Airport: ~90 minutes Properties of this caliber anchored by original Carter Brown provenance, top-tier equestrian infrastructure, and self-sustaining financial versatility are exceptionally scarce. The Hayloft represents a definitive piece of Carolina history and an unmatched lifestyle asset....
