Rare Private Estate with Pond, Creek & Protected Park Frontage An exceptional opportunity to own a 14.27 acre private estate in one of the most desirable and tightly held settings in the Upstate directly across the street from the famous Campbell’s Covered Bridge Historic Park, ensuring permanently protected views and zero future development opposite the property. A long approach leads to the residence, set back approximately 400 feet from the road, creating a sense of arrival, separation, and privacy that is increasingly difficult to find. The front of the property is anchored by a scenic 0.8-acre pond, offering a striking visual centerpiece and a peaceful daily backdrop, while approximately 900 feet of private creek frontage adds depth, character, and a rare connection to the land. The property has also been thoughtfully enhanced with young fruit trees, berry bushes, and developing grape vines, several of which are now beginning to bear. This lightly cultivated, evolving landscape introduces a subtle layer of natural abundance and long-term potential, while preserving the open, estate like character of the land. Further enhancing its versatility, the property includes additional road frontage from Stringer Road, offering the potential for a separate driveway, private guest access, or future expansion without compromising the integrity of the primary homesite or multiple homesites. This portion of the property with 75' frontage on Stringer Road is where public water could be available. The 2023-built residence (~1,220 sq ft) provides modern construction, efficiency, and flexibility well suited as a primary home, a refined downsizing option, or a foundation for a larger estate vision. The true value lies in the land itself its privacy, water features, and enduring surroundings. This is not simply a home, it is a private estate or retreat, offering a rare combination of acreage, water, privacy, protected views, and future potential in a location that will remain fundamentally unchanged over time. Opportunities with this level of natural beauty and permanence are increasingly scarce in Landrum.
