WATERFRONT—DERBYSHIRE (Foothills of Tryon/Columbus, NC): A rare premium lakefront homesite in an equestrian-oriented, gated community—where elegance, access, and outdoor living meet. One of the last great true-waterfront opportunities on Derbyshire’s private ~33-acre swimmable/fishable lake, this lot pairs beautiful topography + view corridors with a flexible builder program so you can craft exactly what you want.
***Please see the other MLS Listing for the Land + Home Package Option: Buy the lot or have the seller/builder deliver your high-end custom home. Start with a primary-on-main or single-level plan, add a walkout lower level for guest suites/entertaining, and step straight to a gunite pool terrace and the water for kayaking/paddleboarding. Expect thoughtful architecture that orients to the lake, Superior Walls foundation, whole-home audio, and luxe, seamless indoor–outdoor living. Choose the featured plan or fully customize from the premium spec sheet—qualified buyers may tailor finishes prior to construction start.
Derbyshire blends refined country living with true equestrian DNA: community warm-up rings, barn/stables, arena, individual paddocks, established pastures, ~8 miles of internal walking/riding trails across 260+ acres, and connectivity to regional trail systems (CETA/FETA). Morning hacks, sunset lake strolls, coffee on the dock—this is effortless Foothills living.
Location, Location, & Access: All-paved, easy-in/easy-out to I-26 (Landrum exit); minutes to dining/services in Tryon, Landrum, Columbus and an easy drive to the world-renowned Tryon International Equestrian Center (TIEC) for shows, trainers, and boarding. Traveling? You’re roughly ~45–60 minutes (traffic dependent) to GSP or AVL, and about an hour (+/-) to CLT—rare international access while keeping your lake-and-horse lifestyle intact.
True WATERFRONT inside a gated, equestrian-minded community with quick highway access is nearly impossible to replicate. The setting, shoreline, and build flexibility here create a best-of-both-worlds opportunity—buy now, build now (or later), and tailor the home you’ve been sketching in your head.
In this Gated community an appointment is required. A licensed real estate agent must accompany buyers. (*The builder is happy to walk the property, review elevations, specs, timelines, and allowance packages. Other home styles available upon request. Bring your vision; your custom Derbyshire retreat awaits.)
