With eight bedrooms and 11-and-a-half baths, 822 Poplar Springs Road in Westminster features a luxurious swath of rolling land (the property is known as Rolling Meadows and the name fits) tucked into the South Carolina foothills with easy access to the major metros along the Interstate 85 corridor.
A winding driveway with mountain views leads to a magnificent brick home where a beautiful fountain and crepe myrtle create a majestic entrance.
Once inside the double front doors, a fabulous Swarovski chandelier hangs just above double spiral staircases flanking marble floors. The formal living room is welcoming with a 30-foot-high stone fireplace, beautifully carved mantle and elegant bookcases. Large Palladian windows allow sun to flood the space with doors leading to a grilling patio spacious enough to entertain a crowd.
Located on the main level, the main bedroom suite with tray ceiling creates a luxurious ambiance with a separate sitting area featuring a gas fireplace. The bathroom suite includes heated marble flooring, steam shower, separate tub, double vanities, and beautiful Swarovski lighting. The second floor features four sizable bedrooms with en suites. A private in-law apartment is also located on the second floor and accessed by private stairs and an elevator.
This house is made for entertaining as the chef’s kitchen dark wood cabinets is perfect for sipping wine with friends as the meal is prepped around two islands, a breakfast area, luxury appliances including double wall ovens, Bosch warming drawer, two dishwashers, six burner Jen Air cooktop and Sub-Zero refrigerator
Of course, why stop entertaining there when the bottom level has the ambiance of an English-style pub with a dark wood grand bar housing a dishwasher, refrigerator, and ice maker with enough space for a billiards table and more games. This floor also features home theatre as well as two bedrooms with en suites, and a gigantic walk-in storage area.
But it’s not all relaxing. The bottom level also features a home fitness room complete with a six to eight person sauna.

And about that barn.
Equestrians dream of barns like this with its 11 stalls, air-conditioned office and tack room, laundry room, bathroom, and misting system. A full caretaker’s apartment is located on the second floor of the barn.
Finally, the estate offers generous parking with the home's four car garage, and the barn's three car garage equipped with a Tesla charger.
