Sitting on the covered deck off the primary bedroom, it’s difficult to figure out where to look. At the surrounding trees, whose leaves are turning an autumn spectrum of red, orange and gold? At the wide green meadow unspooling toward the nearby barn? Or at the looming mass of the Blue Ridge, whose peaks seem so large and so close they almost feel like they’re in the backyard? It's a feast for the eyes, to say the least. Even the address of this Upstate panorama seems appropriate — 160 Heaven’s View Lane, a nearly 45-acre property in northern Greenville County that features a 4,000-square-foot custom-built log home, a barn and a guest cottage, fenced pastures, creeks and trails, and indeed that million-dollar view.
Jacob Mann Actually, make it $1.998 million — which is the list price for the property, which has a Pickens address but is actually located about halfway between Pumpkintown and the Cherokee Foothills Scenic Highway. The four-bedroom main home, built in 2000, is loaded with large windows that take full advantage of the picturesque surroundings.
“Everything revolves around the view,” said agent Jacob Mann of Coldwell Banker Caine, who is co-listing the property along with colleague Jennifer Winney. “When you're staring out the side of the house, it's just nothing but your own private pastures for horses, cattle, anything else you've got. It’s nothing but miles of views.
And it's just spectacular, it really is.” The phrase “log cabin” automatically brings a specific image to mind — one of a rustic structure, perhaps with smoke emanating from the chimney of a wood-burning stove. But not tongue-and-groove wood paneled walls, exposed wood beam vaulted ceilings, or maple hardwood floors.
Not covered porches, stone patios, a reading loft, or an oversized jetted Jacuzzi tub. Not a kitchen with custom cabinets, or a living room with a stacked-stone fireplace and hand-hewn timber mantle. Indeed, the main home at 160 Heaven’s View Lane is a different type of log structure altogether, which is immediately evident in the overlaid hip roof that sits over the front entryway and the stone supports that elevate the back of the home.
Listed for $1.998 million, the 45-acre property at 160 Heaven’s View Lane near Pumpkintown features majestic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. “It's not a log cabin kit — it's a custom wooden house that has log cabin accents,” Mann said.
“It has stone foundations, it has multiple covered decks that all accentuate the view. You've got ingress and egress from multiple spots throughout the home, both on the main level and down low for grilling, chilling and entertaining. It's not at all just your typical, ‘Oh, look at the sign for that log cabin company off the highway’ that we've all seen.
It's not a kit, it’s not a log cabin. It's a custom-built log home.” The home features very little sheet rock, Mann said — most of the walls are wood.
The kitchen has been renovated, and now features custom cabinetry, quartzite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The home’s living room features large, A-shaped windows that maximize views, even when sitting on the couch. “If you're in the house, you're constantly wanting to go out to the to the decks and just stare at the mountain views.
It literally is an unhindered view for miles,” Mann said. “And it's completely out of every single room of the house, unless you're locked in a bathroom. I mean, the primary suite has its own private deck.
Everything is to accentuate those views. It really, truly is that magnificent.” Beyond the main house, the 44.
89 acres that comprise the 160 Heaven’s View Lane property features several fenced pastures and a barn that could lend themselves to a potential equestrian buyer. Other uses could be a family compound, bed and breakfast or primary residence, given that the location is 22 minutes from Travelers Rest and 35 minutes from metro Greenville. “It could absolutely be a full, year-round residence, for sure — it has the garage, it has the amenities, the nice kitchen, the guest house that could be for a caretaker,” Mann said.
“I mean, somebody could do glamping there. It has the extra dwellings, it has fire pits, the creek, the trails. It could be anything.
” The view will be there, regardless. The gently rolling meadows and pastures, the surrounding trees in their fall colors, the summits of the Blue Ridge jutting up in the distance — it’s a quintessential Upstate vista, in this case right out the back door. “It's definitely a one of a kind, and it's going to take a special buyer that's looking for this,” Mann said.
“But the person who comes in there, walks through the front door, is invited into the vaulted living room that just flows right onto that back deck—and then you’re looking at Table Rock. It’s truly spectacular. It has a $2 million view, and you get the rest for free.
