THE PHOTOS

WHY YOU'LL FALL IN LOVE

Picture this: You're sipping your morning coffee on one of the screened porches, watching the mist rise from the Blue Ridge Mountains as the first golden rays of sunlight crown Tryon Peak. The 180-degree panoramic view stretches endlessly before you, a living masterpiece that changes with every season, every hour, every breath of mountain air. This is not just a view—this is your daily awakening at Hidden Hollow Farm.

Nestled on 92 pristine acres where Golf Course Road winds through some of Tryon's most coveted countryside, Hidden Hollow Farm is more than an equestrian estate—it's a sanctuary where time slows down and life's true pleasures reveal themselves. Here, the gentle sound of your private creek cascading into its own waterfall becomes the soundtrack to a life well-lived, where every sunrise promises new adventures and every sunset delivers profound peace.

The moment you drive down the meandering drive, you understand why this place earned its name. Hidden away from the world's chaos yet perfectly positioned less than five miles from the prestigious Tryon International Equestrian Center, this remarkable property offers the rare combination of complete privacy and convenient access to world-class equestrian competition. It's a place where Olympic dreams are nurtured and weekend trail rides become treasured family traditions.

The main residence stands as a testament to thoughtful design and gracious living, where every detail has been carefully considered to enhance both daily comfort and grand entertaining. Four bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom, ensure that family and guests alike enjoy privacy and luxury. But it's the unexpected touches that truly capture the heart—like the historic 1800s cabin that has been lovingly integrated into the kitchen area, creating a space where past and present dance together in perfect harmony.

Imagine hosting your closest friends for an evening soiree watching the sky paint itself in brilliant oranges and purples while you gather on the deck that wraps around the home like a warm embrace. Four wood-burning fireplaces, including one in the primary suite, create intimate gathering spaces throughout the seasons, while the soaring ceilings and walls of windows ensure that the magnificent mountain views are never far from sight.

The heart of any equestrian property beats strongest in its barn, and Hidden Hollow's Wellington-style barn pulses with possibility. Six spacious stalls, each thoughtfully designed with windows on both sides so your horses can survey their kingdom, feature rubber matting, fans, and automatic waterers—every comfort a champion deserves. The recently updated and freshly painted barn includes a charming apartment with soaring ceilings and two bedrooms, perfect for a caretaker, guests, or that teenager who dreams of sleeping closer to their beloved horse.

The riders' lounge and tack room, complete with laundry facilities and a full bathroom, becomes the social hub where stories are shared, plans are made, and the day's rides are relived with laughter and pride. Adjacent to the barn, the riding ring awaits, ready for training sessions, lessons, or simply the joy of feeling your horse move beneath you in perfect rhythm.

Four large pastures, each equipped with generous turn-out sheds, provide your horses with room to run, graze, and simply be horses. Acres of pastures and  premium fescue hay fields not only ensure a steady supply of quality feed for your equine partners but also provide a potential income stream, making this property as practical as it is beautiful. The large hay barn stands ready to store your harvest and machinery, a testament to the working farm heritage that runs deep in these rolling hills.

For the adventurous spirit, Hidden Hollow offers its own well-maintained trail system that connects directly to the FETA trail network, opening up hundreds of miles of mountain riding. Whether you prefer a gentle morning hack through dappled forest light or an exhilarating gallop across open meadows, the trails here offer endless exploration and the kind of freedom that only comes with owning your own piece of mountain paradise.

When the day's riding is done and the horses are contentedly grazing, the in-ground pool and flagstone deck beckon. Here, surrounded by the natural beauty that defines this special place, you can float on your back and count stars, host summer barbecues that stretch late into the evening, or simply find that perfect balance between activity and relaxation that makes mountain living so irresistible.

Hidden Hollow Farm represents more than real estate—it's a lifestyle choice for those who understand that true luxury isn't measured in square footage alone, but in the quality of moments shared, the depth of connection to the land, and the freedom to live life on your own terms. Whether you're a professional rider with Olympic aspirations, a family seeking to share the gift of horses with your children, or someone who simply yearns for a place where the pace of life matches the rhythm of your heart, this extraordinary property offers the canvas upon which to paint your perfect life.

This is your invitation to step into a world where every day feels like a vacation, where your morning commute might be a walk to the barn, and where the only traffic you'll encounter is the occasional deer crossing your private drive.
