From the moment you pull into the driveway, this rustic and ruggedly handsome home will captivate you! Tom Hollis, architect, designed the very distinctive “Woodlands”! This Jackson Grove home is part log from an old church and part barn (beams) from an old barn in Ninety-Six, SC. The whole of this home is wonderfully seasoned and weathered! The exterior is a combination of log, board and batten siding and stucco. The roof is covered with architectural shingles, and the chimney’s are brick. The front walkway is brick and it leads to a covered rocking chair front porch with a brick floor. The rear walkway is stone and it leads from the lattice surrounded courtyard for the carport parking area to the deck stairs, the custom swing, the pool and the pergola. There is storage area under the deck for yard tools. The property has 3.47 wooded acres and a winter mountain view which could be further opened up with selective tree trimming. The landscaping was professionally designed with night lighting on the home and trees. The driveway is circular and covered with river stone.
