150 New Hope Road Pickens, SC 29671

REDUCED!! Price per recent appraisal! Are you looking to move out of the city and get away from it all? Or maybe you want a second home in the country or a live-work location that will give you extra space to start a new business, operate your current one or store your equipment or toys. Well this beautiful 9.54 acre property in Pickens offers endless possibilities. The land is unique in that it fronts and backs on two different main roads, offering additional entrance/exit options. It's bordered by New Hope Road to the East, Pumpkintown Highway to the West, a church to the South and a farm to the North. Previously owned by an aviculturist who dedicated his life to rescuing and raising exotic African birds in the two aviaries (large outbuildings with power and water), the property could be transformed into a mini farm, wedding/event venue (especially with a church right next door), equestrian center, pet boarding facility, plant nursery, or a variety of other options. Or it could simply be a wonderful homestead that offers room to roam and multiple places to enjoy hobbies and interests in a private, peaceful setting. The lower part of the property offers picturesque mountain views, rolling green pastures and a natural spring that creates a creek which possibly could be dammed to form a pond. Up on the hill sits a 3 BR, 2.5 BA home and a detached garage, both of which received brand new roofs in May 2020. Has a transferable termite bond with PestGuard Solutions. The home itself has a large covered front porch for enjoying the views. Inside you'll find a spacious, traditional center hall colonial layout and hardwood floors and mouldings throughout most of the home that give it an historic feel. A formal living room and dining room flank the foyer, and the kitchen, laundry, half bath and den are located on the back half of the main floor. The den has a fireplace with a wood burning insert and French doors that open to the back patio and the fenced back yard. An attached carport covers the side entrance to the kitchen. Three bedrooms and two full baths are located on the second level. The master bedroom has a large walk-in dressing room and two spacious closets. Pull down attic stairs offer access to storage. If you're handy, some paint and elbow grease could make a dramatic difference inside the home, but even without cosmetic updates, it is basically move-in ready. A gazebo and koi pond greet you on the way from the house to the detached 2-car garage which has lots of extra space for workbenches and storage. Exterior stairs lead above the garage to a studio with a half bath that once served as a hair salon. It would make the perfect spot for an art studio or office. A covered shed attached to the back of the garage provides tractor and equipment storage. Just a short walk away to the other side of the house are the two aviaries. Each large building (approx 22' x 51' and 13' x 70') has its own separate kitchen area with sink, refrigerator, dishwasher, water heater and window air conditioner. Aviary 2 also has freezer and separate storage rooms, one that includes a toilet. Screened areas outside each building once protected birds, but could have many other uses. You'll discover so much natural beauty here, just minutes away from Table Rock State Park and Highway 11. The landscape of mature trees and flowering shrubs that span this property and the sights and sounds of birds and wildlife make this an idyllic setting for whatever you can imagine for the next step of your journey. Come see it soon, before this rare opportunity flies away. Property may qualify for USDA Rural Housing, please check with lender.
