Natural Beauty

Sylvan Habitat is blessed with more than 12 sparkling mountain streams, waterfalls, and great views of the Blue Ridge to the Northwest, and the Saluda Mountains of South Carolina to the southeast. A ridge cuts diagonally through the property, defining forested valleys on either side. Southerly and easterly exposures predominate, giving you the morning sunshine, and the warming winter rays. Altitudes range from 2700 to 3100 feet. While not even hills by Himalayan standards, the altitude of the Southern Appalachians affords an interesting summertime temperature drop when compared to the Southern Piedmont and the Coastal Plain.

And to help you experience the diversity of this typical Southern Appalachian setting of coves and ridges, we will mark a separate system of pedestrian-only trails, which wind through the deep Rhododendron covered valleys, and along the pristine mountain trout streams.
