Engel Lukas Hall is a landmark historic hospital property originally opened as St. Luke’s Hospital in 1929 and substantially restored by the current ownership. The asset totals approximately 40,000 square feet and includes a mix of original stone construction and later brick wings added in the 1950s. Interior features include roughly 38 rooms/offices with 17 bathrooms, high exposed ceilings supported by steel trusses, and concrete walls and floors. Operational support elements remain in place, including a large commercial kitchen with walk-in refrigeration, a dumbwaiter, two elevators, and multiple stairwells. The property also includes an all-glass enclosed patio. Site and building stabilization work included drying in the structure, rebuilding major sections of the Spanish terracotta tile roof with new tiles and copper flashing, replacing windows, and restoring key architectural elements. Grounds improvements include clearing invasive overgrowth and replanting with thousands of trees, shrubs, and fruit trees.

The property sits on approximately 2.35 acres just off Highway 176 in Tryon, North Carolina. It offers more than 30 parking spaces across two parking areas and includes three-phase power with a whole-hospital generator. The location is described as a block above the planned Rails to Trails corridor connecting Zirconia, North Carolina to Inman, South Carolina.
