Property Description

Welcome to the Lake Lanier community, ideally situated between the charming towns of Tryon, NC, and Landrum, SC and within walking distance of the lake and downtown Tryon with the future Saluda Grade Trail. This private lake has summer cottages, boathouses, and year-round waterfront homes. This property has both year-round mountain views and lake access rights for boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, canoeing, water skiing, swimming and fishing. (There is an optional $75/year for a FOB that allows year-round access to the boat launch.) This custom-built home is on a .71 beautifully maintained parcel, and comes with a separate .26-acre adjoining parcel for added privacy and protected year-round mountain views. This exceptional property combines spacious living, remarkable versatility, and an outdoor lifestyle that's hard to match. A solar energy system adds efficiency, while a generator hookup provides added peace of mind. The rocking chair front porch greets you from the circular driveway. As you step into the front door, the open-concept floor plan seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining area, and living room, with a large screened porch off the back, where year-round mountain views create the perfect backdrop for relaxing or entertaining. The screened porch includes a built-in gas grill with vented hood system, overlooking the fenced backyard, raised garden beds, and expansive patio with awning. The well-appointed kitchen features granite countertops, custom cabinetry, a gas range, pantry, and desk area. Beautiful hand-hewn wood flooring and solid six-panel wood doors enhance much of the main level. The primary suite offers two closets and en-suite bath, while the guest bedroom features a walk-in closet and is adjacent to the hall bath. The office, conveniently located off the living room, adjoins the laundry room/half bath with small greenhouse window perfect for overwintering plants. The spacious, light-filled den has several built-in window seats with storage. The basement features ~300 Sf of climate-controlled unfinished basement space (not included in heated square footage). An additional 285 Sf of unfinished workshop/storage space with a large utility sink, ventilation, and walk-out access, provide endless possibilities for hobbies, crafts, or storage. A spacious 400 Sf walk-out crawl space offers even more room for lawn equipment, tools, and seasonal storage. Outside, the property is equally impressive. A fully fenced backyard keeps pets safely contained while helping to deter deer. Multiple exterior water hydrants make gardening and outdoor maintenance easy, and the raised beds are ready for flowers, herbs, fruits, or vegetables. Parking and storage are exceptional, with an attached 2-car garage featuring a workbench, (can be removed) as well as a detached one-car garage with electricity and driveway for extra parking. There is also a separate gravel drive by the house with ample room for an RV or boat. Beyond the property, you'll enjoy everything this remarkable area has to offer. The vibrant downtowns of Tryon and Landrum feature boutique shopping, local restaurants, breweries, art galleries, and many year-round community events, and it’s less than 10 minutes to a local hospital. In the works, is the Saluda Rail Trail which is poised to pass through both towns. Outdoor enthusiasts also appreciate nearby Blue Wall Preserve, mountain biking, waterfalls, and endless hiking opportunities. One of the best equestrian destinations around with horse shows, concerts, and other fun activities year-round, the area has miles of riding trails convenient to Foothills Equestrian Nature Center (FENCE) and Tryon International. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, mountain retreat, lake getaway, or potential vacation home, this property offers an exceptional combination of comfort, flexibility, and some of the Carolinas' most desirable recreational opportunities around.
