Tucked beneath majestic Warrior Mountain on 7.2 private ridge-top acres at the end of a quiet road, just minutes from downtown Tryon, this extraordinary retreat offers the rare feeling of living among the trees. Birdsongs replace traffic noise, and every window frames layered canopy views that change beautifully with the seasons. Meandering stone paths wind through a gently sloping sculpture garden, leading to hidden seating areas, lower parking, storage spaces, and even a wooded trail descending toward a running creek below.
Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, the home blends rustic luxury with artistic character. Warm wood-paneled walls, handsome beams in the dining room, built in bookshelves and three gas log fireplaces create inviting gathering spaces throughout the home — including fireplaces in the formal den, dining/family room, and primary suite. A dramatic wall of large sliding windows, craftily screened, create the perfect setting for unforgettable Carolina spring and fall dinner parties immersed in the open air amongst the treetops.
The detached two-car carport doubles as an outdoor entertaining pavilion with generous seating areas overlooking the grounds, while additional garden seating invites quiet mornings and evening conversations under the trees.
The lower level offers a walk-out apartment with kitchenette and eclectic, artistic bath arrangements — ideal for guests, extended family, studio space, or creative retreat possibilities.
Private, peaceful, and unlike anything else on the market, this one-of-a-kind mountain sanctuary captures the essence of refined woodland living in the heart of the Carolina foothills.
