“Every man who would do anything well must come to it from a higher ground.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~ Consider this your invitation to elevate your lifestyle—to live, train, ride, hunt, gather, and restore without ever leaving home. ~ Welcome to "The Highground Farm," spanning nearly 27 private acres with a Main House, Guest House, and an extraordinary Field House designed for recreation, training, or collection display. ~ Privately set beyond a gated entrance with gas lanterns, a winding drive leads to the Main House, positioned at the highest point of the property, true to its name. The home offers 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, including 3 bedrooms on the main level, with a warm, elevated interior featuring cathedral ceilings, exposed beams, shiplap accents, and a brick fireplace. The kitchen is both refined and functional with quartz countertops, a large island, stainless appliances, gas cooktop, and dual pot fillers. White oak hardwood flooring runs throughout most of the home, complemented by curated finishes and fixtures. ~ Outdoor living centers around a vaulted screened porch with fireplace and built-in grill, opening to a resort-style saltwater pool with fountain features, diving rock, and expansive terrace, with a nearby firepit extending the outdoor living space. A separate Guest House provides a full kitchen, living areas, flex space, and private bedroom suite, ideal for extended stays or entertaining, with a glass garage door and outdoor shower enhancing indoor-outdoor living. ~ The Grand Lawn leads to the Field House, a defining feature, a 100’ x 55’ metal structure with four oversized glass garage doors allowing seamless drive-through access for vehicles, boats, or RV storage. Inside, the climate-controlled space with epoxy-coated floors is currently configured for basketball and pickleball, along with areas for fitness and golf simulation, while offering exceptional flexibility for training, events, or the display of a private collection. A kitchenette and powder room enhance functionality, while integrated lighting, sound, and projection systems are app-controlled, creating a dynamic and easily adaptable environment for both recreation and elevated entertaining. A workshop and covered storage on both ends add even greater utility. ~ The surrounding acreage features open pasture, mature trees, and a spring-fed creek along the property line, crossed by a substantial new bridge. A fenced garden with raised beds, a custom-built chicken coop, a two-story kids cabin set between the trees, and a playset add character and function. A slab is in place at the rear of the property, ready for a future outbuilding if desired, with power and water available. Wildlife abounds, and the property supports seasonal hunting, with established areas already in use. ~ Whether envisioned as a private estate, a place for wellness and performance, or a setting for farming, equestrian, and hunting pursuits, The Highground Farm offers something increasingly rare, a property that supports both restoration and momentum, all within a setting that feels quietly set apart. ~ The location? Just 10 minutes from Main Street Fountain Inn and approximately 25 minutes from Downtown Greenville, with convenient access to GSP International Airport, major hospital systems, and everyday amenities including shopping and dining, and just minutes from City Scape Winery, the uncompromising estate at 224 Hillside Church Road offers elegance without the HOA, privacy without isolation, and freedom without compromise.
