Walnut Ridge Farm, lies between the golf community of Lake Lure just to its north and the equestrian community of Columbus/Tryon to its south. The area is known for its horse farms and excellent equestrian medical facilities as well as for its moderate climate and beautiful scenery. With rolling hills in the foreground, and high mountains in the background there is no wonder why this area was voted one of the top places to live in the United States, by a recent report from a major news journal program that aired on national television. 
 
The farm is situated in a unique triangle of shopping availability. The shopping triangle includes hot shopping spots such as Lake Lure, Columbus, Hendersonville, Asheville, Charlotte, and Greenville, SC. All within about an hour from Walnut Ridge Farm. 
 
Greenville SC, Spartanburg SC, and Asheville NC offer outstanding medical services and cultural activities to supplement the local offerings. This area of western North Carolina is famous for its arts and crafts, as well as music festivals and outstanding theatre productions. The area is a popular filming location for movie productions such as these classics which were filmed at Lake Lure: Dirty Dancing, Last of the Mohicans, A Breed Apart, Firestarter, My Fellow Americans,  and Rutherford County Line, among others. 
 
The user-friendly Greenville/Spartanburg airport is 55 minutes door to door and Asheville's airport is 45 minutes away and the Charlotte Douglas International airport which is major hub is only and hour and a half door to door.  
 
Hickory Nut Gorge, one of the most beautiful canyons in the Eastern United States lays just minutes away. It’s about 14 miles long, and extends from the small villages of Gerton through Bat Cave and Chimney Rock to Lake Lure. The rushing Rocky Broad River flows through the Gorge and empties into the crystal waters of the Lake Lure.  
 
Just a short drive from the Farm are two championship 18-hole golf courses. Nearby are the scenic attractions of Chimney Rock Park, Lake Lure Tours, the Beach, Marina and Fun Center, and the Bottomless Pools.  
 
Also in the Gorge are horseback riding, rafting, biking, shopping in quaint shops, good restaurants, and enjoying the lake activities. 
 
Asheville, the Biltmore Estate and the Blue Ridge Parkway are only an hour away. Hendersonville, with shopping, movies and the Flat Rock Playhouse, is only 45 minutes away. 
 
 
Walnut Ridge Farm is in a four-season location with spectacular autumn color. Yet thanks to the "isothermal belt", a unique climate zone that results in moderate temperatures, this area experiences little snow and ice and warm summer days almost always begin and end with cool mountain breezes. There are very few days, summer or winter, when riding or hiking is uncomfortable. This is a wonderful place to live!  
 
There is a brand new up scale Ingles grocery store located 3 miles away. Also located just a few miles away are several spas, gyms, yoga/meditation retreats, but the area is still peaceful, quite, and private enough to feel like you are able to hide away from the bustling, busy lifestyle of the city. 
 
Vacationing in Western North Carolina is a life-enriching experience, but each encounter tempts us to think of living here year round. North Carolina is known for its many cultural and recreational opportunities and the immediate area surrounding Walnut Ridge Farm is no exception. Chimney Rock and Lake Lure (home to celebrities like, Michel Jordan, etc.) 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 away. 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 Ridge Farm provides easy access to much of the best that North Carolina has to offer to lovers of culture, nature and an invigorating life style.  
 
Walnut Ridge Farm is also surrounded by 2,100 acre Walnut Creek Preserve which is an ambitious concept for land use and preservation. Walnut Ridge Farm and Walnut Creek Preserve’s 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.
