The city of Pickens
With Pickens being settled in the Blue Ridge mountains, there is not a lack of nature for residents and visitors to explore, such as Jocassee Gorges Wilderness Area which is less than 20 minutes away (and subsequently Lake Jocassee), Lake Keowee which is 20 minutes away, Lake Hartwell which is 30 minutes away, and Cedar Mountain, NC which is just under an hour away. Of course, there are always hiking trails and nature walks a little closer to home, but there is something for every outdoor enthusiast. Pickens County School District

Iconic....one of the first words that come to mind when I arrive at 1142 Fox Squirrel Ridge Road in Pickens, South Carolina. If you are from Pickens or know the area well, you will agree this property is iconic. This remarkable Farm is well known for rolling pasture land, a private pond & some of the most beautiful trees to grace the town of Pickens. This Fox Squirrel Ridge Farm is memorable. Boasting just over 20 acres of mostly fenced pasture land - previously used for cattle. Private pond provides an exquisite water source for animals & the adventure of fishing at your convenience with kids, family & friends. Once you turn into the driveway, you will be transported to a breathtaking oasis that you will want to call HOME! The main home on this property is a charming brick ranch that sits back off the road. Take the driveway to the rear courtyard area for private parking & access to the attached garages. Make sure to take a glance up to take in the beauty of the canopy that the surrounding trees provide - the shade, the tranquility. The ranch style home can be conveniently entered at both the front & rear entrance. The original portion of the home features eye-catching hardwood flooring that was installed when the home was built in 1956 - what character! Formal living room has a brick, gas log fireplace & a large picture window overlooking the yard. Layout of the home can be adjusted to fit the needs of the homeowner - rooms can be enlarged or changed around as desired. The addition provides an oversized living area that is opened to the kitchen. Again, the space is available to make adjustments to the floorplan if desired. The den features a second gas log fireplace. Walk-in laundry room provides ample space for storage & a sink. There are three full bathrooms in the main house - one tub/shower setup, two walk-in showers & a soaking tub! One of my favorite areas of this home is the screened porch! Beneath the trees, overlooking the beauty that surrounds you - take in the sounds of nature! This screened porch is the perfect spot to enjoy all of the seasons. Grab your favorite beverage & your favorite book & curl up in this space to relax. If you are looking for a great grilling area, there is also an oversized deck connected to the porch. If you are on the search for a functional property to raise livestock, then you need to read further! Secondary structure was previously used for a home business - this can be repaired to serve as a home office OR a second living space for parents, extended family or an income opportunity. Attached garage measuring 24x32 in size is ideal for a workshop or storing equipment. Don't miss the additional features behind this structure! 41x14 metal storage bay with a roll-up door provides shelter for your larger farm equipment, to include your tractor. To the rear of that is a 34x25 shed with a concrete pad. Farms gates & pasture fencing are already in place. What a great opportunity to move your current farm right in without the hassle of building these structures. There is a creek below the pond that would also be a great water source of livestock. The property extends past the end of the pasture & beyond the creek. Wooded area would be a remarkable homesite - take this into consideration if you are looking for a multi-family homeplace. I could go on & on about this fascinating property, but it's better to experience a tour! Located at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains, in the rural community of Pickens. This location gives quick access to local schools, shopping & dining. Surrounding larger cities like popular Greenville, SC can be reached in approx 35 mins. Clemson, SC is about a 30 min drive away.
