22+ Acres, Privacy & Room to Grow – 990 Mount Tabor Church Road, Pickens There's a lot to love about this property, but the real story here is the opportunity it represents. Sitting on 22.56 heavily wooded acres at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this is the kind of land that gives you breathing room – and then some. The current home, built in 1996, offers a comfortable and practical layout: 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths and a flexible bonus room that works equally well as a home office or dedicated dining room. It's cozy without feeling cramped, and the wooded setting wraps the home in natural privacy that most buyers have to drive much further to find. But here's what makes this property genuinely exciting. There's an established second homesite sitting above the current home – a location where a second residence once stood, complete with existing utilities already in place. A new well would likely be needed to bring it fully back online, but the groundwork is largely there. That's not a small thing. Finding land with a viable, ready-to-develop second homesite is increasingly rare, and the possibilities that opens up are worth thinking through carefully. Picture this: the main home serves as the primary residence for one family, while the upper site becomes a custom-built home for parents, adult children, or in-laws. Shared land, shared memories – but with the independence and privacy that makes multigenerational living actually work long-term. No one is on top of each other, yet everyone is exactly where they need to be. Sunday dinners, holiday gatherings, watching the grandkids grow up – all of it, right here on your own property. Or maybe the vision is different. A vacation retreat for the extended family. A guest house for friends who visit from out of town. A rental property to generate income while you enjoy the land yourself. With 22+ acres of wooded Blue Ridge foothills as your backdrop, the second site could easily become something people travel to – not just family, but paying guests who want a true mountain getaway experience. The bones of a family compound are already here. The land is in place, the infrastructure has been there before and the natural setting does a lot of the work for you. All that's left is your vision for what it becomes. If you've been searching for a property that gives your family room to grow – now and in the years ahead – 990 Mount Tabor Church Road deserves a serious look. Properties with this combination of acreage, privacy and dual-homesite potential in the Pickens foothills do not stay on the market long. IMPORTANT details : All new pex plumbing installed within 2 years. UPCOUNTRY FIBER Internet installed. Roof is 10 years old. HVAC installed 2017. New SURVEY just completed. Appraisal completed in May 2026 & available for review. New well pump & holding tank installed within last 3 years. Septic pumped within last year! The location matters!! Here's where rural tranquility meets real-world convenience. Downtown Pickens is just a short drive for everyday needs. Convenient access to local schools, shopping, dining & medical care. Greenville—recently ranked #4 Best Place to Live in the nation—is 35 minutes away, offering world-class dining, culture, and amenities. There's plenty to explore & experience in Downtown Greenville! For outdoor enthusiasts, you've hit the jackpot: Table Rock State Park is 15 minutes down the road. Lake Keowee, with its pristine waters perfect for boating and recreation, is less than 30 minutes away. And if you bleed orange, Clemson University and all its game-day excitement is about 35 minutes from your front door. The bottom line...this is not just a real estate transaction—it's an opportunity to claim a lifestyle that's rapidly disappearing. Reach out today to schedule your private showing.
