Architectural Narrative
Escape to your own private mountain retreat! Nestled on 3.83 peaceful acres, this charming cabin overlooks a beautiful spring-fed, stocked pond, creating the perfect setting to relax and reconnect with nature. Offering both privacy and convenience, this unique property is ideal as a weekend getaway, full-time residence, or investment opportunity. The cozy 1-bedroom, (no closet) 1-bath cabin features an eat-in kitchen with ample cabinetry, appliances replaced in 2020, and an open-concept living area. In the summer of 2026, the seller completed several valuable improvements, including new electrical service with a 200-amp meter base and whole-house surge protection, installed new water line, removed popcorn ceilings and applied fresh paint throughout the ceilings. From the living room, step onto the covered front porch to enjoy tranquil pond views, abundant wildlife, and hours of peaceful outdoor living. The spring-fed pond is stocked with a variety of fish, making it a favorite spot for anglers and nature enthusiasts alike. An old barn offers endless possibilities, restore it for storage, a workshop, or hobby space, or reclaim the barn wood for future projects. The property is served by a shared well with the neighboring 2-bedroom, 1-bath home, which is also available for purchase (see MLS #4379535). Purchase both properties to create a private family compound or expand your investment portfolio with two rental opportunities. Conveniently located less than an hour from three major airports, the property is just minutes from downtown Columbus for shopping, dining, and easy access to I-26 and US-74. Enjoy exploring the nearby towns of Tryon, Landrum, Saluda, and Lake Lure, along with countless opportunities for hiking, camping, fishing, cycling, and other outdoor recreation. The area is known for its scenic roads and light traffic, making it especially popular with cyclists. The Tryon International Equestrian Center is only about 10 minutes away and offers world-class equestrian events, sporting competitions, concerts, dining, shopping, and year-round entertainment. Whether you're seeking a year-round home, private getaway, or an investment opportunity, this property has much to offer, so don't wait!
