Holly Spring Farm is situated in the quiet, established equestrian neighborhood of Stirrup Downs close to the towns of Columbus, Tryon and Landrum. Interstates 26 and 74 are easily accessible as are schools, St. Luke’s Hospital, doctors, dentists, veterinarians, shopping, restaurants, libraries, book stores and many horse show venues including FENCE and TIEC. If you periodically crave the bright lights and traffic congestion of a big city, this farm is centrally located between Asheville, Greenville and Charlotte; all offer additional shopping and airports. Leaving the city behind to come home to this peaceful place is so very sweet!
The home features a total of 16.65 pastoral rolling acres with approximately 4 acres in 3 board fenced pasture. Additional acreage has been cleared and the pasture could be fenced into small paddocks for turning out your horses. Behind the home there is a spring fed pond surrounded by shade trees. It is a great spot to rest and cast a line into the stocked pond or get together with friends and family to grill out! Immediately behind the home is enough room for a pool and a garden. There is a 20′ x 36′ two stall shed row barn with hay storage and a 24′ x 36′ workshop for cars, tractors, horses etc. The property also boasts a stream and private property trails through the mature forest that lead to the CETA (Collinsville Equestrian trail Association).
