Summary

Paris Mountain is a monadnock, a Native American term for a lone mountain that stands above the surrounding area. Rising about 2000 feet, our woodland community sits on the slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Greenville SC. Here deer, bear, wild turkeys and small critters abound as well as numerous bird species. Paris Mountain was Cherokee land until the end of the Revolutionary War when it was forfeited to South Carolina. We are adjacent to Paris Mountain State Park and about 7 miles from downtown Greenville.
