504 Ray Blackley Road

Welcome to Southern charm and chic country living on 8.20 unrestricted acres near Lake Bowen and Lake Blalock in the scenic Upstate South Carolina foothills. This versatile property is well suited for a private homestead, working mini-farm, equestrian property, recreational retreat, multigenerational living, or future development, subject to applicable approvals.

The property consists of two separate parcels being sold together, with potential for further subdivision. The main residence features approximately 2,238 square feet of updated living space with an open-concept layout designed for entertaining and a split-bedroom floor plan that enhances privacy. The main-level owner’s suite includes a beautifully renovated private bathroom.

Upstairs, two additional bedrooms share a full bathroom. The partially finished walkout basement expands the home with flexible living space, a half bathroom, laundry room, wine cellar, and a large storage area. Thoughtful improvements include a newer metal roof installed in 2021, added gutters, exterior paint completed in 2024, fresh interior paint completed in 2026, cedar shutters, updated lighting, granite countertops, luxury vinyl plank flooring, renovated bathrooms, new windows, and a remodeled living room with naturally stained pine shiplap walls and a new mini-split system.

A wood-burning stove with a stone hearth adds warmth and rustic character during cooler months. Outdoor living begins with a covered front porch and continues to a newer patio, walkway, and fire-pit overlooking the peaceful countryside. The upgraded fully fenced property includes a security system, four-point underground irrigation, a barn with a water connection, and three wells in addition to public water.

A spacious workshop includes a half bathroom, utility sink, shower, and dog-washing station, creating an ideal setup for hobbies, equipment storage, farming activities, or animal care. The workshop and barns convey as-is, where-is. Established fruit and nut trees enhance the landscape, including pecan, walnut, mulberry, persimmon, peach, apple, grape, and pear varieties.

An arborist has also identified a rare basswood tree on the property. A bordering creek, open pastureland, mountain views, and abundant wildlife create a private and picturesque setting. There is ample room for horses, cattle, goats, gardens, farming, outdoor recreation, or primitive camping.

Conveniently located near Inman, Boiling Springs, Lake Bowen, Lake Blalock, and minutes from Riverbend Sportsman Resort, close to shopping, dining, and outdoor recreation, this distinctive Upstate South Carolina acreage property combines modern updates, natural beauty, privacy, and endless possibilities for country living.
