441 Lower Ridgeview Rd, Columbus, NC 28722

Set in the scenic foothills of Polk County at the end of a private road, this 10.73-acre equestrian retreat offers the rare combination of true privacy, direct trail access, and a turnkey two-horse setup in the heart of Western North Carolina. Three bedrooms and three full baths flow across a thoughtfully designed single-level floor plan, with large windows throughout that frame the natural landscape and bring the outdoors in. The kitchen connects seamlessly to a breakfast area and screened-in porch where you can take in mountain views and watch your horses graze in the pasture below. An attached two-car garage adds everyday convenience, and the walk-out lower level — already fitted with windows, an exterior door, and plumbing — is primed for additional living space. Built by master builder John Edney, the 2,232-sq-ft one-level home is ready for your personal touches and upgrades. A new roof was installed in 2023, and the dual fuel HVAC was replaced in 2024. For equestrians, this property is purpose-built for the lifestyle. The FETA trail system runs directly along one side of the property, putting some of the most beautiful riding in Western North Carolina — including the waterfall at Stoneybrook — right at your doorstep. A walking trail loops the pasture, perfect for morning strolls with the dogs. The two-stall Morton barn features a concrete aisle, spacious 12x12 stalls, a tack room with a washer and dryer, and a full bathroom, making daily horse care as comfortable as it is efficient. Privacy like this is hard to find. No through traffic, no neighbors in sight — just you, your horses, and over 150 miles of FETA trails waiting to be explored.
