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!
