Nestled in a peaceful, established community just outside downtown Greenville, this property blends rustic elegance with practical design for relaxation and connection to nature. Set on nearly 24 ac's of established green space with private waterfront, the estate includes a main residence and a quaint guesthouse. A private drive leads to the lakefront, where open space provides room for parking, entertaining, and soaking in spectacular views-or backing your boat trailer right to the ramp for a day on the water. Past the wood & real stone exterior, the inside opens to warm living spaces, incl. a large sunken den with fireplace and 9' ceilings; a dining room with fireplace and adjoining sitting area; and a convertible screened porch/sunroom with flagstone floors. Two generous bedroom suites feature ample closets, one with a laundry/dressing room. Hardwood floors, built-ins, and hand-milled woodwork add timeless character throughout.

The 1 bedroom guesthouse includes a full bath with walk-in shower, a large den with beamed cathedral ceilings, and an adjacent storage room. Additional exterior features include a custom-built chicken coop, workshop, and useful outbuildings.

Downtown Travelers Rest and the Swamp Rabbit Trail are just 10 minutes away. With classic craftsmanship and room to modernize, 18 Lake Ridge Drive offers a rare opportunity to live the Greenville lake lifestyle you've been dreaming of.
