Remarks: Tranquil, serene, peaceful...choose your own adjective to best describe this one-of-a-kind log-cabin living only minutes from charming downtown Travelers Rest, the Swamp Rabbit Trail, Furman University, and only a dozen short miles to award-winning downtown Greenville! The log interior and exterior; the loft with its rich, knotty-pine, solid-wood floors overlooking the large stone fireplace and 2-story chimney; the stunning, solid-wood beams and hand-crafted concrete-and-stone kitchen countertops; the six wooded acres and small creek...whether on a cold, snowy, winter night or a star-lit, firefly-filled summer evening...all of it will warm your spirit and your soul. Plenty of room for blueberry bushes and garden. Enhance the experience by watching the wildlife...deer, turkeys, hawks, and other furry and feathered friends of the forest...from the expansive front porch. This property adjoins nearly 20 acres of the SCDNR's State Heritage Preserves with easy access to nature trails and more wildlife. The small out-building and chicken coop convey with the property. Make this home your primary residence, use it for a weekend or holiday getaway, or establish your own bed & breakfast at this unique property. So close...yet so far away.
