| Walnut Creek Preserve is an exceptionally large parcel of 2,100 acres of land whose future use has been designed with the rider, hiker and naturalist in mind. Horse owners and hikers struggle with a bitter truth: A small family farm may have enough pasture for horses, but rarely contains sufficient acreage for riding or hiking, day in and day out. Large acreage becomes a maintenance burden for most families. Walnut Creek Preserve offers the best of both worlds: reasonably sized farm acreage surrounding miles and miles of trails. Walnut Creek Preserve is envisioned as a community made up of like minded people whose greatest joy is a walk, jog or horseback ride in the woods, a picnic by the waterfall, or a casual dinner watching the sun set over the mountains.
The Preserve's 2,100 acres of forested and pasture land shelter a tremendous variety of indigenous plant life, including several rare and one threatened species, as well as a wealth of wild animal life. To assure their survival, only 25 wooded and equestrian home sites of 10 to 35 acres each will be offered for sale on the 2,100 acres, and the remaining acres of wilderness will be protected in perpetuity by a deeded conservation easement. Western North Carolina is known for its many cultural and recreational opportunities and the immediate area surrounding Walnut Creek Preserve is no exception. Chimney Rock and Lake Lure are just minutes away. Excellent golf courses abound. The North Carolina state theater is "up the road" in Flat Rock. Asheville and its artist colony are an hour west. The well recognized equestrian community of Tryon, North Carolina (home to the Blockhouse Steeplechase and the Foothills Equestrian and Nature Center) makes Polk County a mecca for horse lovers and those who serve them. Walnut Creek Preserve provides easy access to much of the best that North Carolina has to offer to lovers of culture, nature and an invigorating life style. We invite you to learn more about this special land and the preservation project - its history and its future. | View Price List
