Description

Drive through the private gates, follow the circular drive, and everywhere else goes quiet. Hummingbird Manor sits behind an eight-foot brick wall on nearly seven gated acres in western Laurens County, a shingle-and-brick manor carrying the easy grace of a Cape Cod summer house, wrapped in grounds master-planned to live like a private resort. A gracious front porch welcomes you before the door does. The saltwater pool is the heart of it. Gunite and premium Pebble Tec, a drystack rock waterfall, cake steps down to a bench seat in the deep end, and beside it a pool pavilion with a full outdoor kitchen, a vaulted tongue-and-groove ceiling, and its own bath. A drystack stone fireplace with gas assist holds the far end of the terrace for the evenings no one wants to end. More than half a million dollars of landscape design shaped these grounds over close to two decades, and it reads in every sightline, every fountain, every mature transplanted tree. Irrigation, landscape lighting, and 20,000 square feet of sod finish the picture. Inside, the home lives graciously across three finished levels over solid red oak floors, recently refinished, beneath premium lighting and Andersen windows. A gas-log fireplace anchors the living room. The main-level primary suite is a genuine retreat, with an air tub and a custom walk-in shower. The kitchen was built for people who actually cook. A Viking commercial gas cooktop with telescoping downdraft, a 48-inch Sub-Zero, double Dacor convection ovens, two Fisher and Paykel dishwashers, custom cabinetry, and an oversized island under premium granite. A clay-fired farmhouse sink, a separate vegetable sink, and an extra-large walk-in pantry keep the room working. A butler's pantry and scullery run through to the laundry, gathering a second Sub-Zero and a dual-zone wine refrigerator on the way. The den stretches 22 by 30 feet with doors on two sides, opening to a wraparound porch above the pool and pavilion, where a second lounge waits around the corner. Multiple covered porches, more than 1,900 square feet of them, give the house room to entertain in every season. Upstairs, a second primary suite carries a media room, an oversized custom closet, and a spa bath with a soaking tub and a quartz shower. Two more bedrooms and a full bath finish the level. On the third floor, a brand-new bunk room with its own full bath waits for the grandchildren to fight over it. There are no restrictions here, so bring the horse and the chickens. Roughly three and a half acres are fenced and gated. Architectural plans and septic are already in place for a detached garage with apartment above, drawn to match the home, so a carriage house/multigenerational wing is a decision away rather than a project. Reimagined from 2001 to 2026, the estate has been improved from top to bottom, with a Generac whole-house generator, three newer Trane systems, foam insulation, tankless gas hot water, a new security system, a shingle-and-brick exterior under a Grand Manor luxury shingle roof, and fiber internet. Two more fountains and a brick paver patio extend the entertaining beyond the pool, and the whole front of the property is enclosed by a decorative brick wall lit at the columns. Twenty minutes to Simpsonville and everything you need. Five minutes to Lake Rabon for a boat, a rod, or an evening walk around the lakeside trails. Fifteen to the new Kawonu Golf Club, a private, golf-only club designed by Andrew Green. Thirty Five to downtown Greenville, thirty to the airport. A world away from all of it. Golden hour here is a genuine event. You have three ways to get an estate like this. 1) Build it. About $4 million and two years of your life, then wait fifteen for the trees and landscaping to mature. 2) Buy it closer to town. Take the same money twenty minutes up the road into Simpsonville and it buys half the house, half the land, half the pool, and none of the privacy. 3) Or own this one. Finished, in thirty days.
