About this home
A Legacy Southern Estate Nestled in the idyllic Mills River Valley, this 30-acre estate captures the essence of Southern elegance with a touch of timeless romance. Shaded by a grove of ancient white oaks, the residence evokes the grandeur of a historic manor, blending refined architecture with the serenity of pastoral landscapes. Inside, a chef’s kitchen opens to a dramatic living room anchored by a bespoke fireplace mantel, setting the stage for elegant entertaining. French doors invite you outdoors, where rolling meadows, a charming cottage garden, and a shimmering one-acre stocked pond create a setting of unrivaled beauty. At the heart of the property stands a reimagined barn, now transformed into a sophisticated wedding and event venue. With its graceful proportions and rustic-luxe design, it offers a stunning backdrop for unforgettable celebrations under vaulted ceilings and soft ambient light. Whether hosting candlelit dinners by the water, welcoming guests to a sunset soirée under the oaks, or retreating into the quiet rhythm of country life, this estate offers a lifestyle steeped in charm.

A rough rule — actual qualification depends on your full debt picture, credit, and the lender. John can introduce you to lenders he trusts.
Numbers are a directional estimate. Actual monthly cost varies by lender, credit, taxes assessed at closing, and insurance carrier. This is not a loan offer or pre-approval.
