Estate Entry | Experience the grandeur of Tryon’s
legendary past. As you enter the estate, you’ll pass by stone walls
and through the stone columns crafted by master stoneworker O.K. Cole. The
historic lamps atop the columns were reclaimed from the 1917 “Phillips
House” at Massachusetts General Hospital.
The Manor House |
Built circa 1934 on a stone foundation that dates back to the 1800s when the
historic estate was known as Brook Hill, the manor house at Warrior Hall offers
a wealth of craftsmanship. The residence features a stately foyer,
four fireplaces, indigenous white pine paneling with hand carved details and
a great hall with massive hand hewn beams.
Foyer | The stately foyer offers a wide center
entrance to the home. It boasts white pine paneling and hand carved wall
sconces.
Great Hall | The great hall features soaring cathedral
ceilings, handcrafted beams, and spacious windows overlooking the grounds. The
room is paneled with indigenous white pine and features hand carved detailing.
The fireplace, flanked with built-in bookcases, serves as the centerpiece of
the room. With access to the foyer, porch and dining area, this grand room
is ideal for holding family gatherings and for entertaining guests.
Kitchen | Take a look inside the bright kitchen
at Warrior Hall. This room features high ceilings and a cute breakfast nook situated
next to the tall windows. There’s plenty of storage space in the
kitchen cabinetry and also in the period cabinetry of the adjacent walk-through
butler’s pantry.
Dining | The dining area lies adjacent to the
butler’s pantry and the great hall. Two massive walls of windows
overlook the estate grounds. The room has a separate outside entry.
Bedrooms | In the master suite on the main level,
you’ll find a lovely bedroom with fireplace, built-in shelving, spacious
walk-through closet and private ensuite bath. Upstairs, Warrior Hall offers
more bedrooms with wood plank floors and stunning views across the estate grounds. One
offers a lovely fireplace and another features a walk-out sun deck.
Porch | The sunny screened porch with brick
flooring provides a private spot for relaxation. From here, you can gaze into
the trees and across the expansive back lawns. Stone steps lead down to
the outdoor cookout area.
Guest Cottages | Warrior Hall includes three guest
cottages, each with their own personality. The “bunk house” adjacent
to the manor house features a stone fireplace by O.K. Cole and a stained glass
window reclaimed from a historic Coastal South Carolina AME church. The
garden cottage has a quaint round window and cedar beams while the “court
house” near the barn offers upstairs living space with two bedrooms and
a large garage downstairs. These delightful cottages can be used for private
office space, art studio or separate quarters for teens.
Barn | Located near the pond, this quaint
red barn offers two levels, electricity and plenty of storage space. The
structure is perfect for housing carriages and antique cars or for use as a handyman’s
workshop.

estate setting on 14+ acres. The property features fine stonework, a quaint
covered bridge, a camp in the woods, outdoor cooking area, a clay tennis court
and a recently upgraded 18’ X 20' swimming pool with deck. Many
