A stunning $2.95 million farmhouse located in Aiken’s historic district is now on the market. Spanning an impressive 4,000 square feet, the residence is situated at 248 Marion Street SE and features five bedrooms and four bathrooms, making it an ideal family home embedded in a community known for its equestrian culture.
The farmhouse was constructed in 2018, combining modern luxury with historical charm. The property, which covers 2 acres, includes a stable built in 1928. The stable boasts 6,000 square feet of space, housing 16 stalls, a large wash rack, a tack room with a half bath, an outbuilding for hay, and a barn apartment complete with living space, a bedroom, a kitchen, and a full bath. Additionally, three irrigated paddocks enhance its functionality for horse enthusiasts.
Realtor Karl McMillan of Coldwell Banker Realty described the property as “rare,” highlighting its effortless livability due to the thoughtful layout and ideal barn setup. The main living area features an open floor plan, including a great room with a fireplace and expansive windows that provide a picturesque view of the surrounding landscapes.
The upscale kitchen offers a center island, and all rooms are designed with rich hardwood flooring. The owner’s suite located on the main floor includes luxurious amenities such as a soaking tub, a spacious shower, and generous counter space. The upper floor features four additional bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a versatile bonus room, making the house suitable for larger families or guests.
Situated within proximity to the Aiken Horse Park at Bruce’s Field, the property is a stone’s throw away from equestrian events held throughout the year. Additionally, the nearby Hitchcock Woods—the largest privately-owned urban forest in the United States—stretches over 2,100 acres and offers 70 miles of sandy trails suited for walking and horseback riding, a practice that has its roots in the early 1800s.
Aiken’s rich history is notable, as it once served Native American tribes and was traversed by explorer Hernando DeSoto in 1540. The town was founded post the establishment of Charleston and became a sought-after summer retreat in the 19th century, appealing to affluent visitors engaging in horse riding and golf. The name ‘Aiken’ is derived from railroad president William Aiken, and the region attracted prominent figures, among them Fred Astaire, Elizabeth Arden, and Jackie Kennedy Onassis.
