110 year old castle situated on 112 acres, on the south face of Paris Mountain. Pastures, stables, two creeks and dozens of home sites with magnificent views of downtown Greenville. A ten minute drive from downtown Greenville. Built for a German baroness and modeled after a castle on the Rhine. Three foot wide granite exterior was quarried on the property. Disappear into the past as you enter the one-third mile, gated driveway that winds through a hickory/oak forest offering absolute privacy. Property has remained in the same family since 1920. A large slate patio with fountain offers stunning views from Greer to downtown and a wraparound porch offers views from downtown Greenville to Furman University. Walk into the living room and hold your jaw as you take in the twelve ft high, hand-decorated ceiling and gaze through large three foot thick stone encased windows onto the grounds and downtown Greenville. Step into the expansive dining room then head through French doors onto a slate patio to absorb more stunning views. The wraparound front porch may be the most stunning aspect of the house with large stone columns and wide granite stairs guarded by a pair of stone lions. Nowhere in the United States will you find such a large tract with such incredible views so very close to a major metropolitan area. New state of the art roofing system, new HVAC, electrical upgrades, new water line. All that's needed is to paint, redo floors, upgrade kichen and possibly remodel bathrooms. See MLS 1192041 for home with 30 acres.
