4973 US Hwy 176 Tucked along the Pacolet River just minutes from downtown Saluda, this private mountain retreat offers a rare combination of natural beauty, flexibility, and everyday livability. The home works beautifully as a primary residence, second home, or mountain getaway, with the added potential for short term rental use. Set on nearly four acres with more than 800 feet of river frontage, the setting invites a slower pace. Morning coffee on the screened porch, evenings listening to the sound of rushing water, and easy access to a cleared path leading to a favorite fishing spot and a private waterfall all shape the experience here. Mountain views and wooded privacy create a true escape while still keeping you close to town. Discover your legacy in the making. Inside, the home is warm and open with natural light and spaces designed for gathering and relaxing. The main level primary suite offers comfort and convenience, complemented by a dedicated office or den with fiber connectivity for remote work. Upstairs, additional bedrooms and baths provide room for guests and family, while multiple indoor and outdoor living areas make hosting feel natural and easy. Life here centers around connection to nature and the charm of small town mountain living. Downtown Saluda is only minutes away with its restaurants, shops, and local events, while nearby trails, kayaking, tubing, and cycling offer year round adventure. A large basement with tandem two car garage and generous storage adds everyday functionality to the home's mountain setting. This property offers privacy, direct access to the river, proximity to town, and the flexibility to serve as a full time residence, second home, or income producing rental opportunity.
