316 Mountain Estates Road

Description

Your private Equestrian Retreat awaits - Welcome to 316 Mountain Estates Road in rural Pickens, South Carolina. Finding a true equestrian property with professional-grade facilities and a thoughtfully renovated home can be rare in rural Pickens. This nearly 15-acre farm combines everything serious horse enthusiasts dream about with the comfortable living space you deserve after a day in the saddle. The Equestrian features - Let's start with what makes this property exceptional for horses. The custom three-stall barn is not just functional—it's been designed by people who actually spend time with their animals. You'll find running water, a water heater and a proper wash rack. There's even washer and dryer hookups in the barn itself, because muddy saddle pads and blankets shouldn't take over your home laundry room. The full-sized riding arena measures 20m x 60m, giving you a professional training space right outside your door. All the fencing, wire, and heat tape are already installed and maintained. What really sets this property apart is the variety of terrain—open pastures for schooling work and wooded trails when you want to enjoy a peaceful ride through the trees. The lower fenced area is perfect for a substantial garden if you're looking to grow your own feed or produce. Two additional buildings that actually work & serve purpose - The outbuildings here solve real problems. The first is a 1,500 square foot space with large garage doors that can swallow side-by-sides, boats, ATVs, tractors, or whatever your hobbies require. There's dedicated workshop space and an upstairs loft for keeping seasonal items out of the way. These building provides opportunity for a large scale, home based business. The second building offers about 788 square feet split into two sections. One side has 220 power and has been used as a functional, well finished wood shop. The other provides covered, secure storage. These are not afterthoughts or cheap pole barns—they're well-built structures that add genuine utility to your daily life. A Home built to last - The three-bedroom, two-bathroom brick ranch might look modest from the outside, but the owners invested serious intentional time and resources into getting it right. Starting in 2011, they took the home down to the studs and rebuilt it with quality in mind—new insulation, sheetrock, upgraded electrical, plumbing, flooring, kitchen, and bathrooms. They installed vinyl windows, a new roof, and new HVAC. The layout is open and welcoming, and the sunroom is a standout feature—a quiet space where you can have your morning coffee or unwind with a book regardless of the weather outside. More recent updates include a newly replaced line from the house to the septic tank (which was also pumped), plus a concrete riser & new access lid to make future maintenance straightforward. The extended attached garage handles oversized vehicles & provides even more storage. Throughout the home, you'll notice thoughtful additions like extra storage solutions that make everyday life easier. Another great, already in place, feature of the home is the whole house generator- installed & maintained by Blue Ridge Co-Op, running off propane (tank in place). UpCountry Fiber internet in place & accessible at the buildings. The bottom line, this property works for people who take their equestrian lifestyle seriously but don't want to compromise on their living space. Everything is move-in ready. The infrastructure is in place. The maintenance has been kept up. You can focus on your horses, your hobbies & your life rather than spending your first year here fixing things that should have been done right the first time. If you've been searching for a well-maintained equestrian property with room to spread out, professional facilities & a home you can actually enjoy, 316 Mountain Estates Road deserves your attention.
