It features walls made of red cedar logs harvested in Canada, an indoor basketball court, and sweeping views of Hogback Mountain. And if it sells for anything approaching its list price, it will go down as the largest residential transaction ever recorded in the Cliffs at Glassy community near Landrum.

The 7,000-square-foot log home on 2.79 acres at 43 Eagle Rock Road has been listed for $4.995 million, according to the listing at Cliffs Realty. A sale price in that vicinity would easily eclipse the current record holder for highest sale price in The Cliffs’ original gated community, 120 Stone Crop Drive, which closed in March for $3.5 million.

The Eagle Rock Road home was built over three years, with red cedar logs from Whistler, British Columbia, fastened together using the Swedish cope method. Managing to be both rustic and extravagant at the same time, the seven-bedroom, seven-bath residence features a dramatic porte-cochere made of cedar logs, a theme that carries into the interior of the home—most notably in a great room where log pillars and trusses complement a grand stone fireplace.

The three-story home also features an indoor sport court, custom cabinetry, home theater, sauna, and multiple decks and porches—one including a built-in hot tub and stone pizza oven, according to the listing. James Patton of Cliffs Realty is the listing agent.

Founded in 1991 near Landrum, Cliffs at Glassy was the first of what would eventually expand to seven Cliffs communities. Six are in the Upstate of South Carolina stretching from the Blue Ridge foothills to the shores of Lake Keowee.

While high demand for student housing in South Carolina has led the state to add more than 5,000 beds over the past five years, the occupancy rate at Clemson University remains 97 percent—highest among universities in the Palmetto State, according to a report by the commercial real estate firm Colliers South Carolina.

Clemson’s second-quarter occupancy rate outpaces Coastal Carolina University (95.3 percent) and Francis Marion University (93.8). Clemson added 421 new beds in the second quarter, and was the lone state college to add beds over that span, according to Colliers. Clemson also has 988 beds under construction, the agency added.

The average asking rent per bed at Clemson in the second quarter was $701.90, fourth-highest among state universities covered in the Colliers report.
