About the Region
Why Saluda.
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.
