Bienvenue Farm

No deed restrictions and no HOA! A rare opportunity to own location, privacy and a move-in ready luxury sporting estate in the heart of Aiken, South Carolina. Known as the Sporting Capital Of The Southeast, Aiken boasts internationally acclaimed equine community and is rapidly becoming one of the premiere locations for golfing enthusiasts.

This exceptional 17.9 acre, perimeter fenced country estate sits in the heart of horse country and is suitable to be developed in multiple directions. While it is minutes away from many of Aiken's celebrated equine training and competition venues including Dara Knot, The Vista Training Center and Full Gallop Farm, it's also close to the conveniences of downtown Aiken -- charming restaurants, boutique and big-box shopping, and anything else you might need or desire. Aiken is home to at least 18 exceptional public and private golf courses within about 15 miles of the town center. Old Barnwell, The Aiken Golf Club, Palmetto Golf Club, The Reserve Club at Woodside and Hollow Creek, Sage Valley Golf Club and Augusta National -- about a half-hour drive from Aiken.

Head off the beaten path and wind your way onto this secluded and tranquil property through the elegant custom-made wrought iron entry gates. Follow the gently curving private drive and head into the carefully cultivated mature forest of hardwoods and pines that define the farm's memorable natural landscape. The beautiful fully custom, recently renovated and improved 2,500 sq ft log home features two bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. There are two primary suites -- one on the main floor and one upstairs. The heart of the home is the huge open light-filled great room, kitchen and dining room. The cathedral ceiling and walls with energy efficient windows bring the outside in, while the generous overhangs keep the heat of the day out.

The side porch is covered and the lake side outdoor deck has an inviting covered seating space where residents gather for coffee and cocktails. A multi-purpose steel 40' x 80' workshop with practical roll-up drive in doors (easily converted into a barn, kennel, gym etc.) sits up behind the house. There is also a 700 sq ft well appointed 1 bedroom apartment with separate entrance suitable for guests, staff or family.

The present owners have made many significant improvements to the property during their ownership. Ask agent for the update list. If you are seeking a horse farm, vacation retreat or secluded home in the country, this one is ready for you. Take the road less travelled. You will not be disappointed! If Square Footage, Schools, or Acreage are important, the buyer(s) to verify. Call agent to schedule. 24 hour notice is appreciated.
