A 60x36 custom cedar barn includes 4 stalls, a tack room, pasture, and a full bath—ideal for equestrian use. Additional features include a 30x35 cedar storage building and spacious second living quarters. Over 20 acres lie outside the HOA—perfect for hunting, with deer stands already in place. Whether you're relaxing by the pond’s stone fire pit or exploring the trails, this one-of-a-kind retreat blends craftsmanship, comfort, and outdoor adventure. A rare chance to own a legacy estate with unmatched beauty, seclusion, and potential. Most furnishings and equipment included. Convenient to Lake Lure, Lake Norman, and Tryon International Equestrian Center.
