About 1321 Altamont Road
Perched atop iconic Paris Mountain, this extraordinary ±4.5 acre property presents a rare opportunity to create a legacy estate at one of the highest residential elevations on the mountain. The site is suitable for one to three single-family residences, allowing for a private retreat, family compound, or thoughtfully designed mountain enclave. Local accounts suggest that stone stair remnants found on the property may be connected to the historic Altamont Hotel, a late 19th century mountain destination, though its precise location has never been definitively verified and remains part of the mountain’s enduring lore. Located just minutes from Paris Mountain State Park, enjoy convenient access to miles of trails, lakes, and protected natural surroundings while remaining a short drive from downtown Greenville’s dining, shopping, and cultural amenities. Paris Mountain is known for its distinctive environment and ecological significance, with elevated breezes, seasonal foliage displays, and long range views that create a true mountain living experience without leaving Greenville County. A recorded 30 foot ingress, egress, and utility easement provides access from Tower Road, and survey materials identify the tract as approximately 4.5 acres with defined boundaries. A limited site evaluation indicates the property may support an onsite septic system, including conventional or engineered solutions, subject to design and permitting considerations. With its combination of elevation, privacy, and proximity to protected parkland, this is a truly uncommon canvas for those seeking to build something remarkable on one of Greenville’s most storied mountains.
