Welcome to 560 Esseola Street in the charming town of Saluda, where historic character meets open pastures and mountain views. This two-bedroom, two-bath residence includes a main-level flex space that can serve as a bedroom if one-level living is desired, or as an office or studio.

The property encompasses 8.09 acres in total, offering both unrestricted living and the protection of agricultural conservancy. The 1.09-acre homesite provides privacy for the residence, while the additional seven acres, preserved with the Saluda Community Land Trust, feature 5.21 acres of rolling pasture framed by beautiful mountain views.

It serves as both a functional asset and a centerpiece for the property’s agricultural potential. Together, the residence, land, and outbuildings create a rare offering in Saluda. Whether you envision keeping horses in the pasture, enjoying the privacy of wide-open land, or simply retreating to a home with enduring character, 560 Esseola Street presents a lifestyle that is both timeless and practical. With history, space, and mountain beauty woven together, this is a property to be cherished for generations to come.
