Looking for some southern comfort? If so, visit this 18.1 acre estate that can only be described as a 'Southern Equestrian Dream'. As you enter through the private gate, you immediately notice the expansiveness of the property, lush landscaping, lake and mountain views. There is plenty of room for several horses to roam freely. This property allows possibilities of large scale entertaining or your own private oasis overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains. Those who love the outdoors will appreciate indulging in activities from fishing, horseback riding, swimming, basketball, tennis, jogging, archery or just relaxing in the spa. The grand exterior and abundance of land is unmatched in this area of the Upstate. This home is a replica of the Historic Hope Plantation in Windsor, NC. Built in the 1770's the Hope Mansion was the essence of 18th century, luxurious, rural living, at it's finest. This home is a nod to the unique history of the southern region of the United States. The main house boasts over 6,300 square feet with five bedrooms, three full baths, two half baths, four fireplaces, natural light, a gourmet kitchen and master on main. The guest house is a true delight for visitors providing a private retreat. Additional features include a private gym, a custom in-ground Grecian style pool, outdoor shower, outdoor kitchen, tennis/basketball courts, large sauna and hot tub, and two climate controlled garages. Features of the grounds include a fenced garden area with irrigation, a six stall barn with two offices and large hay loft, two lighted riding arenas, and pastures with a quiet creek. Away from city lights you can enjoy starry nights from the widow's walk, atop the home, or relax admiring the Blue Ridge Mountains there during the day. This hidden gem has it all. Only twenty minutes from unique shopping and fine dining in downtown Greenville, yet secluded enough for the buyer who treasures the comfort of the outdoors and privacy above all else. Secure your private showing and prepare yourself to fall in love with this spectacular southern estate.
