Waxhaw properties range from turnkey horse farms with full equestrian facilities to beautiful acreage ready for custom barn and arena construction.
Landrum
Spartanburg County, SC
Landrum is the South Carolina gateway to Tryon horse country, sitting just across the NC/SC state line and roughly 10 minutes from the Tryon International Equestrian Center. This charming small town is nestled in the rolling hills of upstate South Carolina, where established equestrian farms dot a landscape of open pastures and wooded ridgelines. Riders who compete at TIEC are increasingly drawn to Landrum for its lower South Carolina property taxes and relaxed rural atmosphere. Access to the FETA trail network extends directly into the Landrum area, making it easy to ride from your own property to miles of maintained trails. A growing community of trainers, breeders, and weekend riders has cemented Landrum as a serious equestrian hub with the added financial advantage of SC tax rates.
Saluda
Polk County
Saluda is a historic mountain village perched at the top of the steepest standard-gauge mainline railroad grade in the eastern United States — home to the highest railroad station east of the Rockies. This small, arts-oriented community sits at the gateway to the Green River valley and offers a cooler mountain climate that provides welcome relief during Carolina summers. Located close to the Tryon International Equestrian Center, Saluda attracts horse owners who value stunning long-range views, affordable property prices compared to Tryon proper, and a tight-knit community of artists, outdoor enthusiasts, and equestrians. The surrounding terrain features a mix of mountain meadows, hardwood forests, and creek-fed pastures ideal for horses. Saluda delivers the mountain equestrian lifestyle at a fraction of the cost of more well-known resort towns.
Campobello
Spartanburg County, SC
Campobello is a quiet upstate South Carolina community that offers some of the most affordable large-acreage equestrian properties within striking distance of the Tryon International Equestrian Center, just 20 to 30 minutes away. The landscape here is defined by rolling pastureland, open hay fields, and gentle hills that are ideally suited for horses. Buyers seeking a lower cost of entry into the equestrian lifestyle will find spacious farms with room for barns, arenas, and extensive turnout — all at prices well below the Tryon and Columbus markets. Campobello's rural character means less traffic, larger setbacks between neighbors, and the kind of peace and quiet that horses and riders thrive on. South Carolina tax advantages add further appeal for buyers relocating from higher-tax states.
