Property Description
Under Contract with Home Sale Contingency - Please call for viewing of this rare opportunity at Canary Cottage, a private 3.36 acre estate adjoining Aiken's legendary Hitchcock Woods - the nation's largest privately owned urban forest 2,100+ acres and 70 miles of sandy trails enjoyed by riders and pedestrians since the early 1800s. Perfectly positioned near The Fresh Market and downtown Aiken conveniences, this secluded equestrian compound blends timeless charm, income-producing potential, and direct access to one of Aiken's most treasured riding destinations. Surrounded by broad lawns, mature live oaks, towering hardwoods, and magnificent specimen trees, the sprawling main residence offers both intimate and generously-scaled living and entertaining spaces, featuring hardwood floors, beamed ceilings and walls of windows overlooking paddocks and woodland views. The home has 3 fireplaces, multiple wet bars and a beautifully updated kitchen with granite counters, extensive cabinetry and premium appliances including a Thermador cooktop, Bosch dishwasher and LG appliances. A central island with bar seating allows a seamless transition from the kitchen to the nearby breakfast and sitting rooms. A formal dining room with a beamed ceiling and custom built-ins is inviting for dinner parties and holidays, while the spacious den showcases vintage cabinetry, a gas fireplace, tongue-and-groove beamed ceilings, and direct access to the inviting slate patio, back lawn and gardens. The main level includes three bedrooms and two full plus two half baths, highlighted by a luxurious primary suite featuring a private office, sliding doors to the expansive back deck, a walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath with a soaking tub and a custom-tiled zero-entry walk-in shower. The finished lower level adds exceptional flexibility with a recreation room, extensive storage, a bunk/flex room, and a fully furnished private apartment with a separate, exterior entrance. The apartment is currently leased at $1,800/month through March 2027. Equestrians will enjoy the well-designed 4-stall shed-row barn featuring two double stalls, run-outs, heated wash stall, tack room, feed room, hay storage, washer/dryer and updated lighting throughout. Two paddocks, no-climb fencing, plenty of room for trailer parking and easy access to Hitchcock Woods make this an ideal setup for trainers, foxhunters, eventers and those who love to trail ride! Additional accommodations include a charming furnished log-style guest cabin/groom's quarters renovated in 2022 with mini-split HVAC, full bath, covered porch, and proven rental history at $975/month. Electric-gated barn drive entrance, expansive rear deck, slate patio, fountain feature, garden shed, dedicated well for irrigation and thoughtful infrastructure improvements complete this one-of-a-kind Aiken equestrian estate. Canary Cottage is an ideal full-time or seasonal property, offering flexibility for rental income or multi-generational living. We invite you to schedule your confirmed appointment to see Canary Cottage, where privacy, functionality and Aiken's timeless sporting lifestyle await!
