GREENVILLE — Stonebrook Farm continues to be among the most active luxury neighborhoods in the Greenville real estate market, with another multimillion-dollar listing hitting the market in the gated community off S.C. Highway 14.
The newest is 316 Stonebrook Farm Way, a five-bedroom home on a 1.81-acre lot being offered for $2.995 million.
Built in 2002, the 5,638-square-foot residence features an expansive outdoor living area that includes a pool, spa, outdoor kitchen and pavilion with a fireplace. It’s all overlooked by double-decker porches that span nearly the width of the home, while the manicured backyard is set against a private lake. The home’s interior features 10- to 12-foot ceilings, marble kitchen countertops, a first-floor primary suite, a media room, a wine room and an attached two-car garage.
The home’s current owner is an interior designer, according to the listing by Joan Herlong, CEO and founder of Joan Herlong and Associates Sotheby’s International Realty. It’s been a very active 2024 for Stonewood Farm, which so far this year has seen five on-market sales, including the $2.78 million closing of 19 Greenlee Hill Court and the $3 million purchase of 127 Poplar Hill Road.
Another home at 101 Poplar Hill Lane, priced at $3.49 million, has a pending offer. The residence at 316 Stonebrook Farm Way is one of four current on-market listings in the neighborhood, the others ranging in price from $1.
1 million to $1.77 million. Originally envisioned as an equestrian community, Stonebrook Farm was instead developed as a traditional neighborhood beginning in 1998.
With just over 100 homes, the community has a close-knit feel. Many residences have a somewhat European flavor to them, and luxuriously landscaped lawns are the standard. The Upstate commercial real estate firm Lee & Associates recently announced the addition of new brokers Ellis McNeely, Jeremy McPeters and Frank Phillips.

His career journey began in logistics, where he gained hands-on experience that has equipped him to deliver comprehensive real estate solutions. His involvement with Spartanburg Young Professionals reflects his commitment to both professional growth and community development. Phillips brings over three decades of professional experience to Lee & Associates, having served 21 years in the U.
S. Air Force followed by roles in landscaping, law enforcement and land surveying. A resident of Campobello, his dedication to community involvement includes his role as vice president of the Joe R.

Utley Foundation, which promotes music and musical education as a repository for high brass instruments. “Each of these brokers brings a unique set of skills and a commitment to serving our clients with the highest level of professionalism and expertise,” said Jordan Skellie, executive vice president and principal at Lee & Associates of Greenville and Spartanburg.
“We are confident that their contributions will further strengthen our position as a leader in the Upstate commercial real estate market." Rick Cauthen, a 20-year veteran of the commercial real estate business, recently joined the commercial division of Greenville-based Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices C. Dan Joyner Realtors.

“I am thrilled Nykia is staying on board to lead us through this time of transformation,” said 2024 NAR President Kevin Sears, broker-associate of Sears Real Estate/Lamacchia Realty in Springfield, Mass. “She has been instrumental in leading us up to this point, and her unwavering commitment to our members make her the ideal steward for guiding our association through the evolving real estate landscape." During her initial tenure, Wright shepherded the association in early 2024 through negotiations to settle and resolve claims brought on behalf of home sellers related to broker commissions.
Among her immediate priorities will be to continue guiding NAR past the implementation of the proposed settlement practice changes and prioritizing ongoing education, training and compliance for consumers and agents. “I am committed to ensuring our association remains a powerful and effective voice for the industry and to fulfilling our goal to bring the privilege of homeownership to more Americans,” Wright said. “I am clear eyed about our past and present, and I am hyper-focused on building trust with NAR’s many stakeholders so that we can be successful in ensuring we are bringing the best of NAR to each and every one of our members.
