Set atop over nine private acres at approximately 1,600 feet above sea level, this remarkable Paris Mountain estate captures views of both the Greenville skyline and surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains—providing a rare blend of elevation, privacy, and proximity just minutes from downtown. Inspired by the historic Davis House at the base of Stone Mountain, this residence reflects timeless Greek Revival architecture, thoughtfully reimagined for modern living. A gated drive and fully fenced grounds introduce the property, where thousands of established plantings create a natural sense of seclusion and quiet. Inside, 12-foot ceilings and striking arched windows define the main level, filling the home with natural light and framing the landscape beyond. The floor plan unfolds with intention—balancing formal and informal spaces while maintaining a sense of flow suited for both everyday living and larger gatherings, with elevator access connecting the bottom two floors for ease and accessibility. The home features five bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths, with multiple living areas across three levels designed to adapt to a variety of needs. Flexible spaces throughout the home allow for dedicated home offices, fitness areas, creative studios, or quiet retreats—supporting both productivity and relaxation without compromise. A full secondary kitchen on the lower level further enhances the home’s versatility, ideal for extended stays, entertaining, or multigenerational living. One of the home’s most distinctive features is the indoor pool—privately set within its own dedicated space, providing year-round enjoyment in a setting that feels both serene and unexpected. Outdoor living is equally compelling, with expansive patios and balcony spaces designed to take full advantage of the home’s elevation and views. Whether hosting or simply enjoying a quiet morning, these spaces extend the living experience well beyond the interior. Designed with resilience and independence in mind, the property is equipped with a commercial-grade Eaton generator, public water, and septic system—allowing the home to operate with a high degree of self-sufficiency. Over time, the current owners have made extensive improvements across major systems—including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, pest control, and pool maintenance—while also consistently tending to the cosmetic details that preserve the home’s character and day-to-day livability. The grounds reflect years of thoughtful cultivation, including intentionally sourced plantings suited to the region/elevation and a unique globally sourced tea garden that adds both character and a sense of place to the landscape. Paris Mountain itself holds a rich place in Greenville’s history—long regarded as a retreat for those seeking cooler air, natural beauty, and a sense of escape just beyond the city. This property continues with that legacy, providing a setting that feels worlds away while remaining deeply connected to everything Greenville has become.
