PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Where Timeless Architecture Meets Exceptional Equestrian Living. Privately sited across from the community arena within the gated golf and equestrian community of Mount Vintage Plantation, this exceptional equestrian estate embodies the quiet confidence of a legacy property--where architectural pedigree, thoughtful craftsmanship, and effortless livability converge. Residents enjoy championship golf, tennis, swimming, dining, and riding within one of the region's most coveted private communities. Custom built by Haines Waters and inspired by the celebrated ''Melrose'' plan by noted Southern architect William Poole, the residence reflects the enduring influence of classic Lowcountry and Savannah architecture. Spanning approximately 5,000 square feet, the home opens to a gracious entry hall where 11 foot ceilings, refined millwork, and understated formality set the tone. A richly paneled library with fireplace and built-ins offers an intimate retreat, while the wainscoted dining room provides an elegant setting for entertaining. The vaulted great room evokes understated grandeur and authentic comfort, where reclaimed barn beam accents, rich brick flooring, and warm pine cabinetry frame a striking Rumford fireplace. The kitchen is both warm and elevated; appointed with custom Benny Christian pine cabinetry, a Boos cherry island, brick flooring, granite counters, tumbled marble backsplash, and a beamed tongue and groove ceiling. A four oven Aga range anchors the space, while the sink overlooks the grass riding arena for a daily connection to the surrounding landscape. An expansive enclosed porch, approximately 48 feet in length, has become the home's favorite gathering space, lined with casement windows and designed for year-round enjoyment. The main level primary suite offers French doors to the porch, beamed ceilings, plantation shutters, and a bath featuring dual vanities, marble walk-in shower, private water closet, and soaking tub beneath a picture window. Upstairs, guest bedrooms feature hardwood floors and touches of exposed brick, connected by a dramatic catwalk overlooking the great room and foyer. A spacious finished room over the three-bay garage offers flexibility as an office, media room, studio, or secondary living space with sweeping arena views. Outside, lush landscaping, mature trees, and a wooded privacy buffer create a serene setting. A side terrace provides a peaceful retreat, while fenced grounds include a four-board grass riding arena, large rear pasture, and additional open field ideal for expanded turnout, a pool, or croquet lawn. Equestrian amenities include a six stall center-aisle barn with 12' x 12' rubber-matted stalls, fan outlets, wash stall, tack room with sink and climate control, loft storage, and separate drive with gravel trailer court. A heated and cooled workshop built in 2017/18 adds exceptional versatility with a fourth garage bay, dust collection system, and dedicated workspace. A rare offering where architectural heritage, refined comfort, and exceptional equestrian living meet the unmatched lifestyle of Mount Vintage-just minutes from downtown Aiken, North Augusta, and Augusta.
