About this home

Mountain Retreat on 4.70 Private Acres | Sunset, SC. Some properties you understand from the photos. This one you understand from the drive. The road winds up through the trees, the gate opens & the land spreads out around a craftsman-inspired cabin that feels a long way from everything, even though upscale amenities are a short drive away. Welcome to 2859 Shady Grove Rd. The Setting - set beneath a canopy of hardwoods in the Foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this 4.7-acre homeplace is big enough to give you real privacy & small enough to keep up with. Walking trails wind through the property & an oversized fire pit is ready for evenings in any season. Foggy mornings here tend to come with deer & other wildlife passing through (checkout the wildlife pictures). With fall color arriving now, it's a good time to see the property at its best. The land is unrestricted, so if you've been picturing chickens, goats or a small hobby farm, there's room to do it. The original barn still stands, giving you storage & a bit of the property's history. A large outbuilding with covered exterior storage offers plenty of flexibility. Use it for equipment & parking, set it up as a workshop or home-based business, or convert it to additional living space. With this much property, there's ample opportunity for additional structures. The Cabin - the 3-bedroom, 2-bath layout is open without being one big room. The kitchen has generous cabinet & counter space & flows into the dining area, which opens to the living room. A fireplace anchors the living room & large windows bring in plenty of light while the surrounding trees keep things private. Off the main living area, the sunroom is a quiet spot for morning coffee & a good book. Two bedrooms sit on one side of the home & the primary suite is on the opposite side, so it feels like a true retreat. The primary suite has a gas log fireplace, room for full-size furniture & a dressing area with multiple closets. The private bath has a walk-in shower & a claw-foot tub for long, hot soaks. The laundry room doubles as a utility space & would also work well as a craft room. Outdoor Living - there's no shortage of places to sit outside. A covered wrap-around porch runs along one side of the cabin, a screened porch sits on another & a rear deck gives you a third option. Pick whichever suits the weather & the time of day. Impactful highlights: Ability to hook up an RV or hot tub, multiple exterior spigots for easy access to water throughout the property, likely the most important GENERATOR installed Aug 2025 & serviced since for warranty coverage. Water heater approximately 2 years old. HVAC system serviced twice a year for proper function & upkeep. All corners of the property are marked! The lifestyle stretches beyond the property - the location is key to surrounding unique amenities that Upstate South Carolina offers. Lake Keowee is widely loved, featuring approximately 18,500 acres of beautiful water. This location is approx 1.3 miles from the public Crowe Creek landing, providing easy access to boating recreation. Keowee-Toxaway State Park is an easy 3 miles away, this 1,000 acre State Park provides opportunity for camping, fishing, hiking, zip lining & so much more.
