About this home

Price Reduced + $12,000 Buyer Credit! Welcome to "Green River Studios", a thoughtfully updated 1940s cottage that blends timeless character with modern comfort. Nestled on a mostly level one-acre lot in a peaceful setting, this home offers the perfect balance of rustic charm and everyday convenience. Step inside to find a warm and inviting interior with custom wood trim, hardwood floors, and modern tile finishes. The spacious primary suite features double doors opening to the backyard, while the second bedroom retains its original wood plank floors and ceiling, preserving the home’s classic cottage appeal. Whether you’re dreaming of a private retreat or an income-producing getaway, this property delivers both. With a successful vacation rental history, it’s already proven to attract guests—especially with its ideal location just 8 miles from Tryon International Equestrian Center. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the proximity to golf courses, wineries, hiking trails, and lakes, offering endless options for recreation and relaxation. Plus, city water tap is already installed and will be connected at closing, adding even more value and convenience. With the recent $20,000 price drop and a $12,000 credit toward HVAC installation, this is the perfect moment to make Green River Studios your next investment or your personal mountain hideaway.
