523 Upper Springs Road

Pickens, SC 29671

Tucked into the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, 523 Upper Springs Road offers a rare blend of privacy, views, and thoughtful updates in a peaceful, nature-rich setting just minutes from charming and growing downtown Pickens. Approached by a quiet, tree-lined drive, the landscape opens to sweeping mountain scenery that immediately sets the tone for this inviting retreat. This beautifully refreshed mountain home features 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and approximately 2,940 square feet of living space designed to connect seamlessly with its surroundings. A classic cabin aesthetic anchors the exterior, highlighted by a new 50-year metal roof, covered front porch, and full-length covered decks on both the main and lower levels—ideal for enjoying the changing seasons, mountain air, and abundant wildlife. Inside, high ceilings and expansive windows frame breathtaking views from nearly every room. Multiple French doors extend the living spaces outdoors, enhancing natural light and indoor-outdoor flow. The main level has been thoughtfully updated with new interior paint and drywall, refreshed finishes, new kitchen tile flooring and backsplash, and updated cabinet hardware. The primary suite offers direct porch access and serene views, creating a true private retreat. The fully updated walkout basement adds exceptional flexibility, with newly finished bedrooms, bathroom, and utility room, all featuring fresh drywall, paint, and new carpet and padding. The basement bathroom includes new internal plumbing, and walkout access leads directly to the backyard and pool area—perfect for guests or multigenerational living. Outdoor living is equally well-considered, with replaced lower deck boards, new step boards leading toward the garage path, and newly installed rock pathways guiding you to the pool. The pool itself has been upgraded with a new pump, filter, and cleaning robot, creating a low-maintenance space for summer relaxation surrounded by nature. Additional improvements include coded front door and garage locks, new blinds and curtains throughout, updated door hardware, new utility room refrigerator/freezer, and a new washing machine. A separate three-car garage provides ample storage for vehicles, outdoor gear, or workshop use. Located near Nine Times Preserve, Nine Times Forest, Caesars Head State Park, and extensive hiking—including much of the South Carolina portion of the Foothills Trail—this property offers an exceptional lifestyle for those seeking space, scenery, and quality construction without sacrificing access to town amenities.
