Lynncote is a historic estate located near Tryon, Polk County, North Carolina. It was designed by architect Erle G. Stillwell and built in 1927–1928. It is a two-story, eight-bay, Tudor Revival style stone dwelling built on the foundation of a previous dwelling built in 1895 and burned in 1916. It features an off-center entrance pavilion, leaded-glass casement windows, and half-timbering. Other contributing resources are the estate landscape, workshop (c. 1910, c. 1928), and Lynncote Lodge (1925-1926).[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.[1]
