Tucked away behind a gated entrance and resting high on a peaceful hilltop, 173 McElmurray Road feels like the kind of property families dream about but rarely find. As you pull down the private driveway, the world begins to quiet. There's an immediate feeling of arriving somewhere safe, peaceful, and deeply restorative, your own private sanctuary away from the noise and pace of everyday life. Five fully cleared and fenced acres stretch around you, offering endless skies, open pasture, and the kind of freedom that is becoming harder and harder to own. Horses grazing in the distance, kids running barefoot through the yard, evenings gathered under the stars; this is the lifestyle the property naturally invites. Conveniently located near Aiken, North Augusta, and Augusta, the property also offers quick access to several golf destinations, including just minutes from The 21 Golf Club in Jackson, while being close to Aiken's renowned polo community and the nationally recognized Aiken Steeplechase. Inside, the home blends warmth, space, and modern comfort with nearly 3,000 square feet, 6 bedrooms, and 3 beautifully updated bathrooms. Sunlight pours through the home, highlighting the luxury vinyl plank flooring, custom closets, and thoughtfully designed living spaces made for both large family gatherings and quiet mornings with coffee in hand. The kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring quartz countertops, new appliances, and an open feel that makes everyday living feel elevated yet comfortable. Every major improvement has already been completed, allowing the next owner to simply enjoy life here instead of managing projects. Recent upgrades include the roof, HVAC system, electrical, propane tankless water heater, renovated crawl space, vapor barrier liner, relocated ductwork, underground drainage, and a termite bond with all affected wood professionally replaced during renovation. What truly sets this property apart is the level of independence and peace of mind it offers. A 300-foot private well provides fresh private water access without reliance on municipal systems, while the 24KW solar panel system, 24KW Generac generator, 500-gallon propane tank, EV charger, full RV hookup with septic connection, and integrated backup systems create a home designed for resilience, comfort, and self-sufficiency. Whether during storms, outages, or simply day-to-day living, this property was built to keep life running smoothly. Step outside onto the expansive 16x60 rear patio and imagine slow evenings watching sunsets roll across the pasture while the kids play and the barn lights glow in the distance. The fully remodeled barn features three stalls, additional storage, and its own power meter, creating the opportunity for a future barndominium, guest quarters, entertaining space, or income-producing retreat. There is also ample room to add a custom pool, gazebo, outdoor kitchen, or expanded entertaining area, allowing the next owner to continue shaping the property into a true private estate. Beyond the beauty and functionality, the property also offers incredible short-term rental and investment potential. With space, privacy, infrastructure, and proximity to Augusta, this home presents an exceptional opportunity for Airbnb income and strong returns during Masters Week and other high-demand events throughout the year. More than just a renovated home on acreage, 173 McElmurray Road offers a lifestyle rooted in freedom, comfort, privacy, and the feeling of finally having room to breathe.
