12 Deer Valley Court, Travelers Rest, SC 29690

Property Description

Nestled in the mountains just minutes from Greenville, SC, make yourself at home in the comfort and convenience of The Cliffs Valley gated golf and wellness community. 12 Deer Valley Court is a true architectural masterpiece, born from the collaborative genius of Design Elite Architects and the impeccable craftsmanship of Bergeron Custom Home Builders. This exceptional project reached its culmination in March 2007 and graces its inhabitants with awe-inspiring southern-facing views. Every room offers panoramic vistas of the golf course and sprawling mountain and valley landscapes. Importantly, no room faces the harsh northern winds, ensuring comfort even during winter. Situated at the end of a private driveway, this property sprawls across 21 acres, boasting one of the most extensive homesites within The Cliffs Valley community. The stucco exterior, adorned with meticulously applied layers of metal lath, a "scratch" coat, a "brown" coat, and a final white coat, exudes traditional craftsmanship. The result is an intentionally uneven, aged appearance that adds character and charm. The front balcony, featuring hand-forged wrought ironwork reminiscent of a French chateau, bestows a touch of European elegance upon the facade. Step inside, and the foyer opens up to reveal a magnificent great room with a gas fireplace and abundant natural light streaming through its many windows. The primary bedroom, conveniently located on the main level, boasts a gas fireplace, heated floors, a walk-in closet, dual granite vanities with a connecting makeup vanity, a jacuzzi tub, and a separate walk-in shower. The kitchen is a culinary haven with granite countertops, a walk-in pantry, an adjacent breakfast room and formal dining space, and top-tier appliances, including a Wolf Range with a gas cooktop, griddle and French burner, built-in microwave, Bosch dishwasher, compactor, stainless steel fridge, and dual Thermador warming drawers. The lower level is graced by a centuries-old carved teakwood panel, separating the family room from the hallway leading to two en-suite guest bedrooms. The family room features a wood-burning fireplace and an attached kitchenette/wet bar. Here, you will also discover a theater room and a study that could easily be converted into a 4th bedroom, as plumbing is already roughed in. Ample storage space is plentiful, including a spacious walk-in closet and a generously sized unfinished room equipped with a dog bath. The outdoor space is equally enchanting, with a spacious, partially covered patio featuring pavers and a kitchen-adjacent deck. A central vacuum system simplifies cleaning, while additional security measures provide peace of mind. The sale includes all window treatments and shutters, as well as the refrigerator, wine cooler, and all audio/visual equipment in the theater room. Other features include two 50-gallon electric water heaters for instant hot water, a modern heat pump system installed in July 2022, and an "iWave" air purifier that enhances indoor air quality. The 25-foot-long garage, with 6-inch insulated walls and exterior-grade wood siding, accommodates larger vehicles. The roof, replaced in 2010 with Certainteed Landmark 40-year shingles, features copper elements and Leafguard gutters to minimize maintenance. This mountain retreat epitomizes luxury, meticulous maintenance, and timeless design, nestled in an idyllic, private setting. A Club membership at The Cliffs is available with this property giving you access to all seven communities.
