SOLD | 405 Loop Road, Campobello, SC

Congratulations to everyone involved in the successful sale of Grove Hill Farm, represented by Carol Parker of Sauvé Collective.

Properties like this capture much of what makes the Carolina Foothills so special — usable acreage, equestrian functionality, mountain views, privacy, and a home designed to enjoy the landscape that surrounds it.

Set on 6.17 acres, Grove Hill Farm offered a rare combination of fenced pastures, horse-ready facilities, a 3-stall barn, and a thoughtfully updated home with warmth and character throughout. From the expansive deck overlooking the property to the flexible spaces inside and out, it was easy to see why this property attracted attention.

For many buyers, the appeal of the Foothills isn't just the home itself. It's the opportunity to create a lifestyle connected to the land, whether that means horses, homesteading, gardening, or simply enjoying more space and privacy.

Congratulations to the new owners as they begin their next chapter, and to Carol for guiding another successful transaction to closing.

It bills itself as the South’s friendliest town, and now there’s another reason to visit Tryon. Set in the first rise of the Blue Ridge, an easy drive from Asheville and Greenville, this horse-loving enclave is North Carolina’s newest wine region.

A wonderful history of horses in Tryon! 🐴🩷

𝗛𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲 & 𝗛𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 | 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗻

Every trail ridden, every fence jumped, every horse that calls Polk County home — his fingerprints are on all of it.

In the summer of 1917, a Michigan businessman drove into the Appalachian foothills and saw something most people hadn't thought to look for: a place that was already, in spirit, a horse town. It just needed someone to say so out loud.

That man was Carter P. Brown.

He didn't just visit Tryon. He built it. As a hotelier and amateur architect with a deep appreciation for Appalachian vernacular design, he took a former tuberculosis sanitarium on a hill above town and turned it into the Pine Crest Inn — adding stabling for 30 horses, inviting his foxhunting friends, and watching what happened next. What happened next was that people came for a season and never left.

In 1925, he founded the Tryon Riding and Hunt Club. The following year, he started the Tryon Hounds fox hunt and rode as their huntsman for the first five years himself. In the 1930s, he worked alongside the Harmon Family and a small army of volunteers to build out the showgrounds at Harmon Field — 36 acres, three show rings, 140 permanent stalls. Life Magazine showed up to cover it. One year when the show ran a deficit, the community put on a Vaudeville show to close the gap. Schools let out on show day. Businesses locked their doors. The whole town came.

That is what Carter Brown made possible — not just events, but a culture. Not just a club, but a reason for a place to exist the way it does.

He served as president of the Tryon Riding and Hunt Club from its founding in 1925 through 1947, and returned to serve again from 1957 to 1959. He died on November 15, 1978.

As Col. Charles C. Ross — local historian and former club president — put it simply: "Carter Brown was not the only horseman of that time. But he was the man who put Tryon on the map as a horse center."

All month, THM's Horse & Hills series explores Tryon's equestrian heritage — the people who built it and the places that still carry it forward.

Delighted to have helped my long-distance client purchase this beautiful condo at Brights Creek. She never actually saw the condo in person until the walk through the day before closing but by providing her with live video tours and multiple photos and videos to look thru as well as answers to all her questions about the condo and the community, she was able to make an informed decision. I was also able to effectively navigate a multiple offer situation on her behalf so the villa could be hers. All in all it was about a 6 month process in which many homes were considered, thoroughly researched, videoed and discussed in order to help her make her decision. There is another level of attention to detail and thoroughness that is required when working with a buyer who is not coming in person to look for the home and has never set foot in the state. You need to familiarize them not only with the home and the neighborhood but all aspects of the local area - from how far away the grocery store is to information on restaurant options and available healthcare facilities. I am glad I'm able to provide that to my clients. The mission was accomplished, when she walked thru the door for the first time and said "It's perfect! I love it!" 🥰
