Property Description
Built in 2011, this distinctive retreat pairs architectural character with inviting everyday spaces. Hardwood floors connect the main living and dining areas, where generous windows frame the wooded surroundings and a substantial stone fireplace anchors the room. The remodeled and updated kitchen features dark cabinetry, light countertops, stainless appliances including a wine cooler, and an open connection to both the dining and living area. A window-lined sunroom provides a peaceful spot for morning coffee, reading, or simply watching the seasons change.
Upstairs, the Master suite is a memorable retreat with soaring wood ceilings, exposed beams, and a striking arched stone alcove. The laundry chute in the walk-in closet of the suite makes housekeeping convenient and the shower/garden tub combo creates a relaxing spa escape right in your very own oasis. Two additional bedrooms and an office provide room to spread out, while the third-floor “Crow's Nest” loft area features custom bookshelves and access to a private balcony overlooking the trees. The first floor adds versatile space for recreation, hobbies, home theater fun, separate gathering area, or even another bedroom, with exterior access.
The experience continues beyond the walls. An industrial steel bridgeway leads directly from the foyer into the mountain's dramatic rock landscape, where steps secured into the stone invite you toward a gorgeous overlook. Follow trails through your own acreage and connect with the Naturaland trail network on Big Rock Mountain. Here, an afternoon hike begins at home, towering rock formations become part of the scenery, and rainfall brings a seasonal waterfall to life on the property. With more than half the boundary adjoining conservation land, the surrounding wilderness is central to what makes this setting so remarkable.
Each outdoor space offers a different way to take it in. Linger over coffee on the screened porch, gather around a fire on the adjoining deck, or retreat to the Crow's Nest balcony for a quiet evening among the treetops. Across the road, Big Rock Lake offers glimpses of water through the winter trees.
Even the craftsmanship has a story of its own. Stone sourced from the new Pickens High School excavation and reclaimed granite from Cincinnati's Riverfront Stadium give the arches, architectural accents, and masonry a history as distinctive as their appearance. The detached two-car garage carries that character forward with stone and reclaimed barn wood from Kentucky, while an equipped workshop area, insulated interior, and floored attic storage add everyday practicality.
Approximately 15 minutes from Downtown Pickens, this retreat offers a secluded mountain setting within reach of everyday conveniences, while also a short drive to this region's celebrated areas such as Lake Keowee, Lake Jocassee, Table Rock State Park, Sassafras Mountain Overlook, and the waterfalls and trails that define the South Carolina foothills. Yet the most compelling destination could very well be at your own front door - a storybook home nestled between the cliffs of Big Rock Mountain, with plenty of land to explore and an extraordinary landscape to call your own. Whether you envision a full-time residence or a remarkable personal retreat, this is a property where the architecture and the landscape are equally unforgettable.
