159 Silver Fox Lane, Tryon, NC

The foothills of Tryon offer a particular brand of equestrian-adjacent seclusion, and this 1974 residence, recently reconstructed to exacting standards, serves as a masterclass in modern refinement. Spanning 2,799 square feet on nearly two acres, the three-bedroom, three-bathroom home prioritizes volume and light, anchored by a primary living suite featuring exposed beams and a substantial gas fireplace. The interiors transition seamlessly to high-functioning utility, evidenced by a professional-grade scullery with custom storage systems and a dedicated pet suite with a built-in bath. In the current Tryon market, where historic estates often require extensive remediation, a turnkey redevelopment of this caliber represents a significant reduction in the typical timeline for luxury acquisition. The kitchen, finished with a Caesarstone island and integrated appliances, opens to expansive decking that overlooks the private acreage. This property balances architectural character with the operational efficiencies required for contemporary estate living. Private viewings may be coordinated through Peters & Associates.
