560 Esseola Street, Saluda NC

Remarks:

Welcome to 560 Esseola Street in the charming town of Saluda, where historic character meets open pastures and mountain views. This two-bedroom, two-bath residence includes a main-level flex space that can serve as a bedroom if one-level living is desired, or as an office or studio. Originally built in 1903, the home was fully renovated in 1987, blending its timeless appeal with modern comfort. The property encompasses 8.09 acres in total, offering both unrestricted living and the protection of agricultural conservancy. The 1.09-acre homesite provides privacy for the residence, while the additional seven acres, preserved with the Saluda Community Land Trust, feature 5.21 acres of rolling pasture framed by beautiful mountain views. Horses and livestock are welcome, and barns or agricultural outbuildings are permitted, while residential development—including guest houses—is not allowed. The result is an estate that preserves open space and pastoral charm while still offering versatility for equestrian or farming pursuits. A highlight of the property is the impressive detached garage and workshop, designed with country living in mind. This oversized structure includes a hay loft, tractor storage, and ample room for projects, hobbies, and equipment. It serves as both a functional asset and a centerpiece for the property’s agricultural potential. Together, the residence, land, and outbuildings create a rare offering in Saluda. Whether you envision keeping horses in the pasture, enjoying the privacy of wide-open land, or simply retreating to a home with enduring character, 560 Esseola Street presents a lifestyle that is both timeless and practical. With history, space, and mountain beauty woven together, this is a property to be cherished for generations to come.
