About this home

Income-Producing Equestrian Compound & Dual-Residence Estate A rare, commanding offering in Aiken’s Historic Horse District, Byerley Farm is the only horse farm sharing a direct fence line with Bruce’s Field—home to Aiken’s premier Grand Prix and hunter/jumper competitions. Often celebrated as “Aiken’s Grand Prix Village Farm,” this premier estate effortlessly rivals the exclusive layouts of Wellington’s renowned equestrian enclaves. Two Distinct Residences & Infrastructure Spanning approximately 8.25 total acres across two versatile parcels, this compound offers unmatched flexibility for an owner-operator, luxury investor, or developer, boasting two separate residences and 8 sprawling paddocks. • The Primary Historic Parcel (3.01 Acres): Features a high-capacity, income-producing 42-stall training barn, 2 paddocks, and a 1,144 sq. ft. 2-bedroom guest cottage—perfect for a trainer's residence, guest house, or rental. Ideal for hunter/jumper, dressage, eventing, or Thoroughbred operations. • The Adjoining Development Parcel (5.24 Acres, Zoned RD): Home to a 2,456 sq. ft. brick primary residence, 6 additional paddocks (8 total across the entirety), and that coveted, shared boundary with Bruce's Field. This parcel offers exceptional scope for an owner-occupant estate, premium staff housing, or future luxury development. Rich in Thoroughbred & Polo Royalty Steeped in racing history, this storied ground was once the training home of Hall of Fame trainer Mack Miller. The meticulously manicured grounds still feature the original camellia planted in honor of Sea Hero, Paul Mellon’s legendary Kentucky Derby winner. Originally part of the historic Whitney family polo fields, the farm’s pedigree includes development by Charles Engelhard (Cragwood Stables), leasing by Paul Mellon (Rokeby Stables), ownership by Mr. and Mrs. Robert McNair (Stonerside Farm), Darley under Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, and a flawless, top-tier restoration by the current owner in 2022. Located just moments from the Aiken Polo Grounds, the Aiken Training Track, and the miles of protected riding trails in Hitchcock Woods, this property effortlessly anchors historic legacy with massive income potential. Versatile Purchase Options: • The Entire 8.25-Acre Combined Compound: $5,475,000 (Newly Priced for Immediate Action) • The Historic Barn Parcel: 3.01 acres, 42-stall barn, 2 paddocks, & 2-bedroom cottage – $2,575,000 • The Residential & Development Parcel: 5.24 acres (RD zoning), brick residence, & 6 paddocks – $3,850,000 A highly motivated, turn-key opportunity in the absolute epicenter of Aiken’s equestrian corridor.
