The perfect blend of rustic character and charm with comfort and elegance, this remarkable log home must be seen to be believed. You will live within the nationally ranked Wade Hampton Golf Club and 500 feet above the course with show-stopping 180-degree mountain views on offer. Imagine returning to this iconic residence after a day spent on the fairway to relax with friends and family on the deck, take in a spectacular sunset and watch as hawks soar across the open sky - does mountain living get any better than this? The home is nestled amongst laurel, rhododendron and flame azaleas ensuring absolute peace and privacy. Crafted by Fred Houston, the house was built entirely by hand using logs from 19th-century cabins with no construction equipment and has resulted in a truly breathtaking residence. High vaulted wood ceilings, wood beams, walls of windows and a striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace combine to create an awe-inspiring interior that feels grand yet warm and inviting. The living spaces are generous and beautifully-appointed while four bedrooms and four full baths ensure there's plenty of room to spread out and relax. The well-considered layout encourages an easy flow from one space to the next while also connecting effortlessly with the outdoor areas. There's a screened porch while the expansive open deck is the perfect place to soak up the sunshine and take in the glorious mountain views. A dining room is ready for your next gourmet feast and is adjacent to the kitchen which sits at peace with its log home surroundings. Quality appliances and plenty of counters await the home chef. At the end of the day, you can retire to the luxurious master suite with a large private bath and ample closet space plus there are three guest suites on the lower level along with a covered deck. With such unwavering attention to detail and a long list of features, it's not hard to see why this home featured in the March 1990 edition of Southern Homes magazine.
