About This Property

Finally, an affordable horse farm conveniently located only 11 minutes from Tryon International Equestrian Center. Set on 6.25 acres of usable, level land with fenced pasture, 2 stall barn w/tack/feed room, run-in shelter area, and a round pen with sand/stone dust footing. The 2,202 sq ft house offers plenty of space with a massive family room featuring a vaulted ceiling and beams, built-in bookcases and wood burning fireplace. The large living room with gas fireplace opens onto the kitchen which has its own dining area in addition to the separate dining room which the current owner used as an office. 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. New roof in 2022. Beautiful hardwood floors that were recently refinished plus new flooring in the family room, dining room and one bathroom. Interior painted in 2022; new water heater 2022. The barn was added to the property just prior to the seller's purchase in 2022. Seller had a large overhang shelter/run-in area constructed on the front of the barn, and installed water, electric and bluestone mix footing. Part of the shelter could easily be converted to a 3rd stall. Stalls are matted. The round pen was professionally graded. Large, recently stained deck on the back of the house is a great place to enjoy the view of your horses. The unfinished basement with interior and exterior entrances offers an additional 1,445 sq feet of space. This property gives you the best of both worlds - expansive, unrestricted land yet you are only minutes away from shopping/dining in Forest City with the convenience of Tractor Supply, Lowe's, Walmart and more. Quick ride to Highway 74 if you're heading to Charlotte or Asheville.

About the Neighborhood

Homes for sale in 28043 place buyers in Forest City, the Rutherford County seat approximately 65 miles southwest of Charlotte via US-74, a small city defined by its authentic Piedmont character, working industrial heritage, and a residential landscape offering exceptional value in the foothills of the Blue Ridge. The architectural stock blends late Victorian and Craftsman-era bungalows in the established downtown residential neighborhoods with mid-century brick ranches and newer construction on the city's expanding suburban streets. The revitalizing Downtown Forest City corridor along West Main Street anchors the community's commercial identity, while Isothermal Community College provides an educational and cultural anchor for the broader Rutherford County region. Lake Lure and Chimney Rock State Park — two of Western North Carolina's premier outdoor destinations — are within 30 minutes via scenic US-74A, making 28043 a compelling base for outdoor recreation enthusiasts. The 28043 real estate market delivers some of the most accessible price points in the greater Western Piedmont region, with substantial historic homes and newer construction available at values that remain highly competitive compared to Charlotte's suburban markets.
