Picturing Mahaffey Plantation's relaxed country setting, you might expect it to be far away from life's daily necessities, with a lengthy commute to work, shopping, schools or local functions. Yet, located between Greer and Simpsonville in eastern Greenville, County, Mahaffey Plantation is a quiet, wooded retreat that offers fast, easy access to business and recreation: Just five or six minutes from Michelin North America's corporate headquarters, Interstate 85, and restaurant row; a 10-minute drive to Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport, and Haywood Mall; and less than 15 minutes to downtown, the Bi-Lo Center, and the Peace Center for the Performing Arts.
