3603 W Stage Coach Trail, Shelby, NC
Welcome to a truly exceptional equestrian estate set on 32.7 private acres in the rolling North Carolina countryside. Offering the rare balance of peaceful seclusion and central convenience, this property provides easy access to Charlotte, Asheville, and the Greenville/Spartanburg corridor while feeling worlds away from it all. A quarter-mile private drive leads you past a serene, stocked swim pond, creating a grand first impression reminiscent of a private park. The estate seamlessly blends luxury living, professional-grade equestrian infrastructure, and remarkable potential for personal enjoyment or business opportunity. At the heart of the property is a meticulously maintained 67x148 covered and lighted arena, providing year-round, all-weather training capability. The thoughtfully designed barn currently features five oversized 12x24 stalls with automatic waterers and upgraded safety fans, along with two additional 12x12 stalls. The flexible layout allows easy conversion to a 12-stall configuration if desired. Designed for efficiency and comfort, the barn also includes a dedicated tack room, wash rack with hot and cold water, stall monitoring cameras, and an on-site office with viewing lobby. A full bathroom (counted as additional bathroom, NONHLA) (office and lobby adds 397 HLA) with shower and washer/dryer hookups enhances convenience. Expansive covered bays provide ample space for hay and equipment storage. An automatic Pyrethrin misting system ensures year-round comfort for horses. Adjacent to the arena is a full 50-amp RV hookup with dedicated septic-ideal for guests, events, or a live-in trainer. Beyond the equestrian facilities, the property is a sustainable homestead and nature retreat. A new 12x24 greenhouse is equipped with electric and water, along with custom automatic beeswax window openers that adjust to temperature changes. Raised garden beds and fruit trees support farm-to-table living. Approximately two miles of private trails wind through mature woods and along the banks of West Brushy Creek and a second spring-fed creek. Wildlife thrives here. Morning coffee may be shared with a Great Blue Heron or Kingfishers, while deer, wild turkey, barred owls, and pileated woodpeckers frequent the grounds. The swim pond is home to a soft-shell turtle, and a separate equipment barn includes an oversized 12x24 chicken coop ready for your flock. The upgraded farmhouse perfectly complements the landscape, blending classic charm with modern refinement. Relax on the wrap-around porch or entertain on the expansive new rear deck nestled near the woodland backdrop. Inside, a stone fireplace with a premium gas insert and remote thermostat anchors the inviting living space. The home offers four bedrooms, including a bonus en suite above the oversized attached two-car garage. The primary suite serves as a private retreat and features high-end luxury vinyl plank flooring. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a reverse osmosis water system. Three and a half baths include eco-friendly double-flush toilets, and elegant hardwood flooring runs throughout the main living areas. Modern comforts and security are fully integrated, including fiber optic internet, Nest climate control, and a comprehensive smart home system with cameras and smoke/CO2 detectors. Energy-efficient upgrades include an on-demand hot water heater and a UV sterilization system integrated into the HVAC for enhanced air quality. The property is served by a well providing excellent water, and a new roof was installed in 2021 for added peace of mind. Whether envisioned as a premier training facility, successful boarding operation, private family estate, or thriving farmstead, this extraordinary property offers limitless potential. Experience the serenity of North Carolina country living without sacrificing modern convenience-your equestrian dream begins here.
