The north side of Paris Mountain
The north side of Paris Mountain faces Travelers Rest, its wooded slopes climbing from the valley floor toward the roughly 1,800 foot summit, and Paris Mountain State Park covers much of the upper mountain with trails, a swimming lake, and campgrounds. Homes here are mostly individual builds and small enclaves on steep, wooded lots along winding roads like Altamont Road, not large platted subdivisions, and many carry long range views over Travelers Rest toward the Blue Ridge.
It is not a single subdivision, so this page shows the wider Travelers Rest market; tell us you want the mountain specifically and we will hand pick the matches, including homes on the slope roads that never carry a neighborhood name.
The homes on Paris Mountain's north slopes
Housing runs from 1960s and 1970s homes on large lots to custom builds from the 1980s onward designed for the grade, with walk out basements, decks on the view side, and long driveways. Some upper road homes are on well and septic.
The slope brings its own checks: drainage and grading, retaining walls, basement waterproofing, the condition and grade of the driveway, and the septic system where there is one. A view lot rewards the buyer who understands what the grade means for maintenance, and we walk through it before an offer.
Getting around from Paris Mountain's north slopes
Downtown Travelers Rest and the Swamp Rabbit Trail are minutes away at the mountain's foot, Furman University is close, and State Park Road crosses the mountain to Taylors and Wade Hampton Boulevard in about fifteen minutes. Downtown Greenville is about twenty to twenty five minutes by US-276.
School assignments are set by address, and we confirm zoning on any specific home.
Paris Mountain State Park and the campus next door
Paris Mountain State Park was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s on what had been Greenville's water reservoirs, and its lakes, stone buildings, and trail network are the mountain's public face. Furman University's campus sits at the mountain's northern foot, with its lake, bell tower, and the Swamp Rabbit Trail running along its edge, so a home on the north slopes has both a state park and a university within a few minutes. That combination, along with the views, is what has pushed custom construction up the mountain roads over the last two decades.
