Mountain Views! Mountain Meadows is a newly created gated community in the heart of Tryon Horse Country with nearby FETA trails. It is designed for equestrians but equally suited for anyone who wants some elbow room. Lot 1, with a big mountain view, is 10.97 acres of gently sloping grassland and a corner of shade trees for horses. There are only seven lots in total, each roughly 10 acres, with about 2 miles of walking and riding trails within the development. It is handsomely gated to minimize traffic and enhance security. The road will soon be paved, and all utilities will be underground. Internet speed of 100 Mbps makes working from home a breeze. You can have a few chickens, too! The town of Columbus and access to I-26 is only an 8-minute drive, with restaurants, a grocery store, and a hospital.

"Wellspring Farm" is an exceptional equestrian property with an exquisitely crafted residence. It consists of 13.46 gently sloping acres, most of which are fenced paddocks with a run-in shelter, together with a 100x240 riding ring. The 63x39 stable is a center aisle, 6-stall affair, with a wash stall, tack room, feed room, hayloft, and a garage. It also includes a lovely apartment. There is also a 2647 square foot building that is presently used as a professional woodworking shop. The residence is located so that it overlooks the pastures and riding ring, with distant views. A spacious master suite spans the entire western end of the main level. The principal rooms occupy the remainder of this level blending together in an open concept. Three cheers for a fantastic kitchen that is appointed with the highest quality appliances. On the lower level, there are two bedrooms, two baths, a family room, and a spacious office/fitness room. The property has direct access to the CETA trail system.
