This spectacular 23 acre equestrian estate rests on a hilltop with distant vistas surrounded by mature professional landscaping in the rolling hills of Aiken County, South Carolina. A delightfully private setting with polo fields and other large properties nearby yet located only 15 minutes from the conveniences of Aiken and Wagener.
Six-year-old custom built 6,100 square foot brick Georgian Colonial designed by the award-winning architectural firm of McIntyre-Capron of Philadelphia, Pa. and built by Kisner Construction of Aiken, SC. Extensive custom millwork and hardwood floors are throughout the house and volume ceilings accentuate the grandeur of this magnificent home.
