Storybook-style mountain home in Pickens listed for $1.35m
A distinctive three-bedroom home built into a mountainside in Pickens, South Carolina, has been listed for $1.35 million. Its stone tower, German-inspired design and forest setting give it a storybook appearance, while its unusual construction and location make it a notable property.
Jane and Derek Hodgin bought the house in 2021 after being drawn to its architecture; it was built in 2011 and became their full-time home in 2025. A 34-step stone staircase leads to the entrance, and features include a patio fireplace, trails and views of the sunrise. Some materials were repurposed: the stones came from a Pickens High School construction project and the maple floors from an old basketball court.
