Description

A Storybook Castle on 7 Acres At the end of a winding drive, a stone tower comes into view through the trees, its princess spire framed by approximately 7 private, wooded acres. This is a home with a story, and it begins the moment you arrive. Step inside, and a grand spiral staircase invites you upward through the tower, level by level. In the great room, the space opens to a vaulted wood ceiling and a glowing chandelier. A massive stone wood-burning fireplace rises to the peak, and on either side, French doors open to the balcony and the forest beyond. Here, evenings are spent beside a crackling fire, with the seasons changing just outside the windows. The chef’s kitchen is made for gathering, with quartz countertops, a custom wood range hood, stainless steel appliances, and an expansive peninsula. Tucked just beyond, the pantry is a baker’s dream, with a convection oven, beverage refrigerator, and secondary sink. The main-level primary suite is a quiet retreat. Mornings begin by opening the French doors to the fresh woodland air. The spa-inspired bath offers a dual vanity and a frameless glass walk-in shower. Upstairs, bedrooms rest beneath vaulted ceilings, and one holds a built-in desk below a leaded-glass window, a charming spot for reading, writing, or working from home. At the top of the tower, a wall of built-in shelves holds the castle’s best-kept secret. The bookcase swings open to reveal a hidden staircase leading up to the princess spire. This enchanting room is wrapped in beadboard beneath a tray ceiling and has a built-in window seat. Tall windows look out over the treetops to breathtaking views, making it the perfect hideaway to read, dream, and watch the seasons change. Guests are welcomed in their own private suite above the garage, complete with a kitchen, bath, and loft. A 2-car garage and an oversized garage provide ample room for vehicles and boat storage. Outdoors, the grounds unfold into places to linger: a seating area beneath the trees, a firepit for starlit evenings, a level playing area, and a private dock where quiet mornings meet the water. Less than a mile from the iconic McGregor Orchard and minutes from North Greenville University, this enchanting estate offers the rare chance to live in a real-life castle. Your next chapter awaits.
