22+ Acres, Privacy & Room to Grow – 990 Mount Tabor Church Road, Pickens There's a lot to love about this property, but the real story here is the opportunity it represents. Sitting on 22.56 heavily wooded acres at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this is the kind of land that gives you breathing room – and then some. The current home, built in 1996, offers a comfortable and practical layout: 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths and a flexible bonus room that works equally well as a home office or dedicated dining room. It's cozy without feeling cramped, and the wooded setting wraps the home in natural privacy that most buyers have to drive much further to find. But here's what makes this property genuinely exciting. There's an established second homesite sitting above the current home – a location where a second residence once stood, complete with existing utilities already in place. A new well would likely be needed to bring it fully back online, but the groundwork is largely there. That's not a small thing. Finding land with a viable, ready-to-develop second homesite is increasingly rare, and the possibilities that opens up are worth thinking through carefully. Picture this: the main home serves as the primary residence for one family, while the upper site becomes a custom-built home for parents, adult children, or in-laws. Shared land, shared memories – but with the independence and privacy that makes multigenerational living actually work long-term. No one is on top of each other, yet everyone is exactly where they need to be. Sunday dinners, holiday gatherings, watching the grandkids grow up – all of it, right here on your own property. Or maybe the vision is different. A vacation retreat for the extended family. A guest house for friends who visit from out of town. A rental property to generate income while you enjoy the land yourself. With 22+ acres of wooded Blue Ridge foothills as your backdrop, the second site could easily become something people travel to – not just family, but paying guests who want a true mountain getaway experience. The bones of a family compound are already here. The land is in place, the infrastructure has been there before and the natural setting does a lot of the work for you. All that's left is your vision for what it becomes. If you've been searching for a property that gives your family room to grow – now and in the years ahead – 990 Mount Tabor Church Road deserves a serious look. Properties with this combination of acreage, privacy and dual-homesite potential in the Pickens foothills do not stay on the market long. IMPORTANT details : All new pex plumbing installed within 2 years. UPCOUNTRY FIBER Internet installed. Roof is 10 years old. HVAC installed 2017. New SURVEY just completed. Appraisal completed in May 2026 & available for review. New well pump & holding tank installed within last 3 years. Septic pumped within last year! The location matters!! Here's where rural tranquility meets real-world convenience. Downtown Pickens is just a short drive for everyday needs. Convenient access to local schools, shopping, dining & medical care. Greenville—recently ranked #4 Best Place to Live in the nation—is 35 minutes away, offering world-class dining, culture, and amenities. There's plenty to explore & experience in Downtown Greenville! For outdoor enthusiasts, you've hit the jackpot: Table Rock State Park is 15 minutes down the road. Lake Keowee, with its pristine waters perfect for boating and recreation, is less than 30 minutes away. And if you bleed orange, Clemson University and all its game-day excitement is about 35 minutes from your front door. The bottom line...this is not just a real estate transaction—it's an opportunity to claim a lifestyle that's rapidly disappearing. Reach out today to schedule your private showing.

This 1995 custom-built log home with 17.80 acres is located in a small community across from Table Rock State Park. Located just a mile and a half to the state park making it an easy walk. This is a chinked log home which adds a lot of character to the exterior and interior. Doe Run is right off of Hwy 11 and just across the road from the state park. Oolenoy Lake is a part of the state park and this lake butts up to the sub-division. It's great for kayaking or canoeing. 512 Doe Run is all the way back in and on the right. You will see Rhododendron Dr. This is the name the owners picked just for their driveway. Once you open the gate, you will drive through a wall of rhododendron bushes on both sides. Just simply beautiful and they will be blooming in a couple weeks. A great deal of quality is in this home but being there actually seeing it, is how you can take it all in. The square footage on the main and second level is 1950 sq. ft, while the partial finished basement offers another 992 sq. ft. These specs are from the county records. The home has 3 bedrooms plus 3.5 baths. The main level offers a very large 20' x 24' great room and a custom-built stone fireplace with deep hearth. The floors are heart pine along with the kitchen cabinets. A couple of stained glass windows add a special touch to the great room. The kitchen and dining offer plenty of room for large gatherings. There is ample counter space for food prep. A half bath is also on this level. There is a 12' x 40' deck out back where you can hear the creek just below and also watch wildlife. Out front you can enjoy an 8' x 40' covered porch where you can sit in your favorite rocking chair. If you like privacy, you will not find anything better. The upper level offers 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The primary bedroom is 20' x 24' with another stone wood burning fireplace. There is more than enough room for extra furnishings. There are two other bedrooms with a second full bath. The upper level features all hardwood floors. The basement level offers another full bath plus it is set up for a convertible bedroom area. The laundry area shares a space in the workshop. A separate room is where the HVAC, hot water tank, well tank and service panel are located. Incidentally one big plus is the well water in this area. It has the best tasting water in the entire Upstate if not the country. I personally know this as we lived in this community for 20 years and I have tasted fresh water (springs and well) in many states in this country and I have yet to taste any better water. The location makes it easy to get to Lake Keowee and Lake Jocassee both within 12-14 miles. These are some of the finest lakes in South Carolina. It is an easy drive to Greenville (24 miles), Easley and Pickens (9-15 miles). Schools and medical clinics are all an easy drive. Located only 30 miles to Brevard, NC, this home is just off scenic Hwy 11. If you are really wanting seclusion, privacy and away from the city, look no further.
