107 year old castle situated on 30 acres, (additional acreage, stables, pasture available) on the south face of Paris Mountain. 10 minute drive from downtown Greenville. Built for a German baroness and modeled after a castle on the Rhine. Three foot wide granite exterior was quarried on the property. 1/3 mile gated driveway winding through a hickory/oak forest offers absolute privacy. Property has remained in the same family since 1920. A large slate patio with fountain offers stunning views from Greer to downtown and a wraparound porch offers views from downtown Greenville to Furman. Walk into the living room and hold your jaw as you take in the 12 ft high hand decorated ceiling and gaze through large three foot thick stone encased windows onto the grounds and downtown Greenville. Step into the expansive dining room then head through French doors onto a slate patio to absorb more stunning views. The wraparound front porch may be the most stunning aspect of the house with large stone columns and wide granite stairs. Listing agent is one of sellers.
