Pristine Equestrian Property with Covered Arena

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Widely regarded as one of the most beautiful properties in Aiken, New Era Farm is offered for the first time. Set across 42.83± private acres, this exceptional equestrian holding features a custom-designed 3,200 sq ft. home, one of the largest covered riding arenas in Aiken County, a fully furnished income apartment, and infrastructure most buyers spend years and millions of dollars trying to replicate. Built in 2018, the 90′ × 160′ covered arena was engineered from the ground up with 50″ conical footers, portal-frame construction, computerized 5-zone irrigation, a $15,000 overhead fan, LED daylight lighting, and high-speed fiber internet beamed directly to the arena - making it suitable for any discipline, around the clock, year-round. The arena suffered zero damage during Hurricane Helene. Built in 2020 and designed for a relaxed circular flow, the main residence is exceptionally light-filled with pastoral views from every window. The home features 10-foot ceilings (16-foot cathedral in the living room), Karndean luxury flooring throughout, a stunning kitchen with Titanium Black Granite island and Quartz countertops, and a corner office with a set of fully restored 8-foot Art Deco stained glass doors with provenance to the Peabody Hotel in Memphis. The primary suite's Italian-tiled bath includes dual sinks, a walk-in shower with custom Italian brass drain, and a built-in tiled bench. A Generac 22KW whole-house generator, Rinnai tankless hot water, and a whole-house surge protector round out the systems - and the average combined utility bill for the entire property runs approximately $285/month. The walk-out garden level includes a high-style 950 sq ft. one-bedroom apartment with private entrance, which was recently occupied by a long-term tenant at $2,100/month - a meaningful income offset with a successful Airbnb history as well. Quiet Rock sheetrock between levels ensures acoustic separation, making the spaces virtually sound-proof. An adjoining 650 sq ft. unfinished storage area maintains a steady 58° year-round. Equestrian infrastructure includes a 220′ × 110′ fenced outdoor ring, jump field, multiple fenced pastures with water to each (irrigation-capable), three enormous new run-in sheds (2024), and perimeter fencing across 42.83 acres of high ground - no mud, superior drainage, and exceptional airflow greatly minimizes insects. Three wells (including a 5 HP arena well), three electric transformers, and all-buried utilities represent a level of infrastructure rarely found in the market. The property is within Aiken County's Equestrian Protection Zone, approximately 10 miles from Downtown Aiken and 5 minutes from the I-20 Wire Road Exit. No HOA means no restrictions on boarding, events, clinics, Airbnb, or any other commercial use.
