Whether you’re envisioning a private equestrian estate, a stylish primary residence, a weekend getaway, or an investment with long-term rental potential, 5990 S NC Hwy 9 delivers from the very start. With MX (Mixed-Use) zoning, this property gives you the freedom to adapt—personal retreat, equestrian facility, or even a mix of residential and professional use! This isn’t just a home—it’s an opportunity, an investment, and a lifestyle all wrapped into one! From the moment you arrive, you’ll notice the balance of thoughtful upgrades and wide-open potential. Designed with rustic charm and a modern, upscale twist, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home (plus bonus flex spaces for an office, reading nook, or creative corner) sits on just over 5 acres of fully usable land, complete with a CREEK meandering along the lower edge. (*Additional acreage available across the creek—ask about purchasing in addition to the listing!) Inside, the kitchen is a SHOWSTOPPER—rich leathered (matte) granite countertops, sleek custom cabinetry, and new stainless steel appliances flow into a spacious, light-filled living area. Hardwood-style flooring ties the spaces together, giving the home both warmth and sophistication. The primary suite is a peaceful retreat with its OWN WALK-OUT deck overlooking your acreage—perfect for morning coffee while your furry (or not-so-furry) friends graze nearby! Its private bathroom is spacious and modern/updated, while the second full bath is the real surprise: it’s been upgraded, too —because let’s be honest, why should guests get the boring bathroom? ?? The acreage itself is a dream canvas - 5+/- acres of level to gently sloping land, the OPTIONS TO HAVE are endless: paddocks, stables, arenas, gardens, orchards, or wide-open entertaining spaces. A sturdy block framework and existing structures are already in place, ready to become a barn, workshop, guest quarters, or storage, along with fencing, too. Add in the NATURAL beauty of the creek, and you’ve got a property that blends both practicality and charm - with trees and pasture areas! Equestrians will love the room for barns and training areas, while also the outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the potential for personal trails or easy access to public ones, space to explore, and great privacy - or add more with "Green Giants and Leyland Cypresses with a shadow-box figure" only, if desired for more seclusion from the road! You don’t have to trade location for convenience—this home sits just minutes from Tryon, Columbus, Lake Lure, and the world-class Tryon International Equestrian Center (TIEC). Shopping, dining, healthcare, and I-26 are all close by, with quick routes to Hwy 74, Sandy Plains, and Landrum Road for easy access into Greenville, Spartanburg, and beyond. The flexibility here is unmatched—plus the best part is nothing is “needed.” It’s move-in ready today! With interest rates beginning to drop, now is the perfect time to make your move and get in on the ground floor with this location, zoning, and potential. Bring your offer and bags, your horses/furry or not friends, and/or bring your business—this property is ready to work for you! Or be of all pleasure!!!
