Tucked behind a gated entrance on five fully fenced acres in Beech Island, South Carolina, 173 McElmurray Road presents a rare opportunity to own a substantially renovated property now priced well below its recent appraised value. With approximately 3,000 square feet, six bedrooms, three updated bathrooms, and an extensive permitted renovation, this move-in-ready property combines modern comfort, significant infrastructure, and the privacy of country living, all with no HOA. The recently completed renovation added approximately 1,500 square feet while modernizing nearly every major component of the home. Significant investments include a professionally remodeled 44' x 40' horse barn, a 24KW solar energy system paired with a 24KW Generac whole-home generator, a 500-gallon propane tank, EV charger, full RV hookup with septic connection, and a 300-foot private well, creating an exceptional combination of comfort, resilience, and long-term value. As you travel down the private driveway, five cleared and fully fenced acres unfold before you with open pasture, endless skies, and the privacy that's becoming increasingly difficult to find. Imagine horses grazing, children playing barefoot, or peaceful evenings beneath the stars. Conveniently located near North Augusta, Aiken, and Augusta, the property offers easy access to shopping, dining, medical facilities, Fort Gordon, Savannah River Site (SRS), Augusta University, premier golf, Aiken's renowned equestrian community, and the Masters Tournament. Inside, nearly 3,000 square feet offers six bedrooms and three beautifully updated bathrooms. Luxury vinyl plank flooring, custom closets, abundant natural light, and an open floor plan create inviting spaces for everyday living, entertaining, multigenerational living, homeschooling, or remote work. The kitchen features quartz countertops, new appliances, and generous workspace. Every major improvement has already been completed, including the roof, HVAC, electrical, propane tankless water heater, crawl space improvements, vapor barrier, relocated ductwork, underground drainage, and a transferable termite bond with all affected wood professionally replaced during renovation. Designed for self-sufficiency, the property combines private well water, solar power, whole-home backup generator, propane storage, EV charging, and RV hookups without sacrificing modern comfort. Whether you're searching for an equestrian estate, horse property, hobby farm, mini farm, homestead, or private family retreat, this property offers exceptional flexibility. The expansive 60-foot rear patio overlooks the pasture, while the professionally remodeled horse barn features three stalls, abundant storage, and its own electric meter, offering outstanding potential for a future barndominium, guest house, workshop, studio, or income-producing rental, subject to local approvals. There's also ample room for a custom pool, gazebo, or outdoor kitchen. With six bedrooms, five private acres, equestrian amenities, RV hookups, no HOA, and close proximity to North Augusta, Aiken, and Augusta, the property is well suited for luxury short-term rentals, executive retreats, equestrian guests, or premium Masters Tournament accommodations. Few properties offer this level of recent investment, infrastructure, and versatility. Whether your vision is a luxury horse property, private family compound, homestead, executive retreat, or income-producing Masters Tournament investment, 173 McElmurray Road delivers a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find and even harder to replicate.
