Outdoor living is equally compelling. Stone patios, both open and covered, include a four-foot Rumford-style fireplace for evenings under the stars. A heated pool and in-ground spa are surrounded by rhododendrons, azaleas, and hydrangeas, while an activity barn with climbing wall, fitness space, and room for a golf simulator offers year-round enjoyment. Trails, century-old stone walls, and expansive lawns create a setting for both recreation and quiet reflection. A full-house generator adds peace of mind. A beautiful guest cottage, along with additional accommodations above the detached garage, makes hosting effortless. Just beyond the property, the Rhododendron Trail connects to Ravenel Lake, Sunset Rock, the Highlands Nature Center, and the shops and restaurants of town. This is a legacy property-private, connected, and ready for its next chapter.
