Sites across from International Equestrian Center, ideal for residential, commercial mixed use and equestrian related projects
CBRE has been appointed to market 450 acres of land, made up of 14 separate parcels along Highway 74, between Mill Springs, Tryon and Forest City in Polk County, NC. Tryon Equine Properties is situated directly across from Tryon International Equestrian Center (TIEC), which opened in 2014 and will host the FEI World Equestrian Games in September 2018 with 500,000 estimated spectators. Potential land uses include horse farms, retail, residential or commercial developments, or lodging.
CBRE’s Katherine Southard represents the current owner while marketing the property for sale.
“The Tryon area caters to the distinctive tastes of a highly affluent customer base and is balanced by its laid-back lifestyle and naturalistic scenery,” said Ms. Southard, senior associate at CBRE. “TIEC currently offers 10 restaurants, 12 riding arenas, onsite cabins, a 50-room Stable House Inn, 42 weeks of competition, and 1,200 permanent stalls. Tryon Equine Properties presents many end user and investment alternatives in a most unique and idyllic setting.” TIEC continues to host additional events and is active throughout the year.
Located within an hour of Charlotte and Asheville, NC, and Greenville and Spartanburg, SC, the properties feature immediate access to several major U.S. interstates. This sought-after destination provides easy access from Interstates 85, 26, and 40 and Highway 74 and close proximity to the Charlotte and Asheville, NC and Greenville, SC airports.
