Equestrian Estate with Greenhouse & Biz Potential
Shelby, Cleveland County, North Carolina
Rural Living with Easy Access to Tryon, Charlotte, Greenville, & Asheville.
Welcome to a one-of-a-kind equestrian estate, perfectly set in the middle of 32.7 partially wooded and partially cleared acres set deep in private lush North Carolina countryside but easily accessible to everything you need. Centrally located between Charlotte, Asheville, Greenville/Spartanburg, you can't beat peaceful rural living with access to all of the modern conveniences.
As you drive along the 1/4 mile long driveway, past a large serene stocked swim pond, you’ll feel like you’ve entered a state park. This property is a rare gem, offering both luxury and endless opportunities for expansion.
The estate features a well-maintained 67’ x 148’ lighted and covered arena, perfect for all-weather training. The equestrian facilities also include a large convertible barn with 5 oversized 12x24 stalls with automatic waterers and upgraded fans for safety, and 2 additional 12x12 stalls which can easily be converted into a 12-stall barn if desired.
The barn is equipped with a tack room, a wash rack with hot and cold water, stall monitoring cameras, covered hay and equipment bays, a full bathroom with shower, and washer/dryer hookups. The barn also features a lobby and an office complete with additional viewing cameras. An automatic Pyrethrin system ensures your horses remain comfortable year-round. There is a full 50 amp RV hookup with septic at the arena for guests or live-in trainer.
For the gardener or farmsteader, the property also includes a new 12x24 greenhouse with electric and water as well as custom automatic beeswax window openers that open/close based on heat, fruit trees, and raised beds, providing an ideal setup for sustainable living. Winding trails totaling about 2 miles meander through the estate, offering tranquil rides or leisurely walks amidst nature along West Brushy Creek.
The expansive grounds also feature two fenced paddocks, a sun pen, several large pastures, and a spacious parking area for horse trailers, making this an excellent venue for events, boarding, or a training facility.
Have chickens? This property also includes a separate equipment barn with an extra large 12x24 chicken coop.
Love wildlife? We have a resident soft shell turtle in the swim pond, frequent visits from our resident Great Blue Heron and kingfishers. Deer and wild turkey frequently seen on the estate. Eastern Bluebirds, tohee, barred owls, barn owls, pileated woodpeckers, the increasingly rare whippoorwhills, and, of course a ton of lightening bugs (or fireflies depending on where you're from).
The upgraded 2,251 sqft Cape/Cottage style farmhouse complements the estate's outdoor amenities. With a new massive deck, wrap-around porch, and a cozy upgraded gas fireplace, this home is both inviting and functional. Modern conveniences include an on-demand water heater, and brand new security cameras.
Located just 30 minutes from the Tryon International Equestrian Center, 20 minutes from shopping in Shelby or Forest City, and 10 minutes from the nearest grocery store, this estate offers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. The nearby farm stores and the beloved Guernsey Girl dairy farm add to the charm of this exceptional property.
Currently operating as a private horse farm, this estate is perfectly poised to expand into a lucrative business venture. Whether you’re envisioning a private retreat, a premier equestrian facility, or a thriving farmstead, this property offers it all.
Owners will need to occupy until 03/31/25; additional renovations are in progress - price will increase accordingly.
