185 Meadow Brook Lane, Pickens, SC

Tucked away on a private 10-acre hilltop just 2.5 miles from downtown Pickens, 20 miles from Greenville, and only 25 minutes from Lake Keowee, this custom brick estate offers luxury, serenity, and panoramic views of Glassy Mountain. A winding quarter-mile drive winds through mature trees and opens to a thoughtfully updated home, filled with contemporary high-end finishes throughout. Inside, a soaring 16-foot vaulted foyer welcomes you into an open-concept living space anchored by a dramatic 14-foot brick fireplace with built-ins. The kitchen is a true showpiece--featuring a quartz waterfall island, induction cooktop, wall oven, walk-in pantry, soft-close cabinetry, and a sunny sitting nook overlooking the pastures. Natural light fills the home, and the main living areas on the first floor are wired for a full sound system--ideal for entertaining or enjoying quiet evenings at home. The spacious primary suite is a peaceful retreat, with bay windows, a walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath featuring floating vanities, a soaking tub, and a curb-less walk-in shower wrapped in Italian porcelain tile. A dedicated office with built-ins connects to a full bath and could easily serve as an additional bedroom. One more bedroom, two half baths, a laundry room, and a large mudroom-style closet complete the main level. Upstairs offers a private guest suite, bonus room, cedar-lined closet, and a massive walk-in attic with future expansion potential. Outdoor living here is pure Southern charm: a cedar pergola, lush landscaping with extruded concrete curbing, and a fire pit with gas starter--perfect for slow mornings, sunset lounging, and cool evening gatherings. Watch the deer pass through, or wave hello to the friendly resident donkeys, Clementine and Whippoorwill. Additional highlights include a 2.5-car main garage, plus a second under-house garage at the rear--perfect for boat, lake toy, or workshop storage. A 30x60 workshop with built-in cabinetry, a 6-run cement-floor kennel with a second septic system, and two fenced areas ready for animals round out the property. With timeless design, modern updates, and peaceful surroundings, this hilltop estate delivers Southern-style living at its finest.
