Remarks: This quaint cottage with creek that flows thru the backyard is in one of the best kept secrets along the Blue Ridge Escarpment located North of Marietta, Travelers Rest and Greenville. With 3 bedrooms 2 baths this home would make an amazing getaway and ultimate family retreat, vacation rental home; airb&b / VRBO or a full time residence where you can get some wonderful solitude! No HOA rules and regulations. Due to an unforeseen career change the sellers can no longer continue remodeling this wonderful investment. All of the major improvements have been completed including new upgrades: new roof, siding, wood burning stove; that sellers used to save money by heating the whole home every winter, HVAC (Heat and Central Air), water heater, encapsulated crawl space, installed vapor barrier and dehumidifier; landscaping; including large tree removal and addition of four small garden areas that have produced over 100 quarts of vegetables canned, plumbing, electrical, bathroom remodels, drywall, paint, and some flooring. The open floor plan is perfect for entertaining guests due to the spacious living room/dining room combination. The kitchen/breakfast room combination is generously sized as well. You’ll love the large covered front porch to relax after a fun day of adventure. Your private backyard and fire pit is waiting for your enjoyment in the evenings and is great for entertaining your guests. You’ll surely enjoy watching all of the wildlife that moves through the area like; deer, turkey, bear, bald eagles, box turtles, and finding rare salamanders and crawfish in the creek when the little ones come to visit. New 8x12 storage out building with power for lawn equipment or your storage needs. Just minutes from your door are 100+ miles of beautiful hiking trails and endless waterfalls (Jones Gap State Park, Rainbow Falls, Falls Creek Falls, and Raven Cliff Falls to name a few), less than 500 feet away is the Middle Saluda river for you to enjoy trout fishing. It's also just a short ride to the Scenic Highway 11, Caesars Head and Table Rock State Parks. So many outdoor amenities close by you will never be at a loss of what to do.
