About This Home

Set on 5.16 wooded acres in Tryon’s Gillette Woods, 12 E Park Drive feels private from the moment you arrive. The 3-bedroom, 3-bath home offers more than 3,100 square feet, with two bedrooms on the main level and a daylight walk-out lower level.

A floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchors the main living area, while a second gas fireplace in the dining room adds warmth during cooler months. Both have remote-controlled temperature settings. The kitchen and primary bath were renovated in 2022, with the primary bath designed to bring some of the experience of a spa home.

Downstairs, the walk-out level provides room for guests, recreation and storage, along with a yoga studio that can also serve as a home gym or meditation space.

Much of life here extends outdoors. A large screened porch looks into the fenced backyard and woods, and a 17-foot swim spa offers a place to swim or unwind year-round. The property has seasonal mountain views, stone terraced gardens and native landscaping, with peach, blue spruce and magnolia trees added to the grounds.

Although the house is surrounded by more than five acres, downtown Tryon is only minutes away. The local wine shop, restaurants and historic movie theater are close by, and the trails and waterfalls of the Blue Wall Preserve are approximately one mile from the house. High-speed internet, an EV charging outlet, direct propane connection and a whole-home generator make the setting practical for everyday living.

The home has also seen substantial investment over the past several years, including a new roof in 2019, HVAC and whole-home generator in 2020, and kitchen and primary bath renovations in 2022. Additional work in 2024 included the swim spa and dedicated pad, EV charging outlet, native landscaping and tree plantings, natural breeze fans and upgrades to both gas fireplaces.

12 E Park Drive offers something increasingly hard to find in Tryon: more than five wooded acres and genuine privacy, with downtown and the Blue Wall Preserve just minutes away.

Please do not drive up the driveway. Please make an appointment to see the house.
