Description

Exceptional 12.86-acre equestrian estate offers a serene haven for you & your horses within Three Runs Plantation, Aiken's premier equestrian community. Horse & rider alike will thrive with Three Run's top-notch amenities including 30 miles of groomed riding trails, private carriage roads, 2 GGT arenas, XC course and the tranquil setting and established pasture at 1029 Shell Bluff.

A gated entrance and magnolia-lined drive set the stage for the stunning, Tuscan-inspired residence, well-designed 4-stall stable with kennel, and the exquisite craftsmanship of the Serenity House, a separate venue for gathering, rejuvenating, and relaxing after a day on the trails.

The 2009 Grant Larlee-three bedroom two bath built home features a stucco & riverstone exterior and stunning living spaces, beautifully appointed with luxurious finishes and architectural accents, including European old-growth white oak wide-plank flooring, artisan lighting, and a dramatic 18-ft stone fireplace. The light-filled Great Room, Dining Room, and Keeping Room flow seamlessly for easy everyday living and entertaining.

The showstopper kitchen is outfitted with handsome, knotty alder cabinetry, gorgeous granite counters and elite appliances including built-in SubZero refrigerator, Asko dishwasher, Wolf 6-burner gas range and Gaggenau steam and convection ovens. Stained glass doors open to a walk-in pantry, ideal for a coffee/espresso bar, in addition to storage.

The multi-room primary retreat offers a spacious bedroom with a gas fireplace and Schonbek crystal chandelier, dual room-size custom closets, and luxurious bath quarters featuring a sculptural jetted clawfoot tub, steam shower, heated floors, towel warmers, and stunning Savannah River Art-stained glass windows for a harmonious environ.

Additional highlights include a home office/library with built-ins, a stone accent wall with a cedar-shingled overhang, 2 generous upstairs guest bedrooms with private vanities, a walk-in cedar closet, a lovely main floor powder rm, a generous back-hall with coat/utility closets, laundry, and access to the 3-bay garage (nearly 12 ft. ceilings), and climate-controlled basement. A covered back porch is a welcoming place to take off your boots when coming inside from riding or attending to your dogs & horses.

The 3500 sq.ft. climate-controlled barn has 4 stalls with Nelson automated-waterers & fans; wash-stall with heat lamps; storage and tack room, equipment/carriage storage area & laundry room with professional dog washing station. When you are away from home, your dogs will be comfortable in the kennel wing with kitchenette, half bath and 5 runs opening to a large, fenced yard. Your horses will love the turnout - 2 pastures and 2 paddocks - with 3 matted run-ins equipped with automatic waterers, fans & lights.
