Remarks: Beautiful, fully updated 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom log cabin on 20.83 acres. Complete privacy surrounded by multiple vacant large acreage tracts. Home has a 360 degree winter mountain view and complete seclusion in the summer. Extensive landscaping, a koi pond, custom play house and mature trees complete the surroundings. Inside there's a large vaulted family room, open kitchen with gas stove, new cabinets, granite countertops and breakfast bar. The new EPA certified fireplace is capable of heating the whole house in the winter with little effort. The master bedroom has a private bath with a herringbone slate floor, claw foot tub and granite vanity. A large sunroom has been converted into a 3rd bedroom, but can easily be changed back. A full basement takes the total sq ft to 3200 and includes a large rec room, cedar closet and a huge workshop with lots of built in storage. Come see all that this gem has to offer. Minutes from downtown Pickens, 35 mins from downtown Greenville and 10 minutes from Table Rock.
