Overview

Description

Experience a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with this magnificent 45-acre gated estate in the heart of downtown Aiken - a property that truly must be seen in person to be fully appreciated! Meticulously maintained grounds feature lush landscaping at every turn, creating a private and picturesque setting rarely found in such a prime location! The expansive main home offers over 4,000 square feet of living space and showcases grand rooms ready for renovation and personalization! Highlights include multiple sunrooms, a living room, dining room, kitchen, a huge open gathering room, bedrooms, and a basement - providing endless potential to restore and transform this home into something truly spectacular! An inground pool adds to the estate's resort-like possibilities with just a little elbow-grease to get in proper order and a cabana area/room! Also on the property is a completely remodeled guest cottage, perfect for guests, rental income, or multi-generational living! The cottage features a brand new kitchen with granite countertops with a refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, and microwave! Two bedrooms and a beautifully updated bathroom with a tiled shower! In addition, a newer roof, windows, siding, and a tankless water heater! Adding to the allure is a serene pond and the sheer scale of the land, offering extraordinary versatility! This estate presents limitless possibilities - multi-generational living, development potential for over 100 home sites, a bed and breakfast, a golf course resort, or a stunning event venue - all within downtown Aiken, properties of this size, location, and potential are exceptionally rare! This is truly a must-see estate with endless possibilities! With rich history, this was the former Hunt Club of the Historic Highland Park Hotel in the late 1800's!
