Description

Circle Creek Farm is the definition of a trophy property. This is like buying a Warhol, a Picasso, a Chagall. It is a true masterpiece. Featuring a 16,000-square-foot custom home, world class equestrian amenities, featuring three riding arenas and a 12-stall barn inspired by old world Europe, Circle Creek Estate is an equestrian paradise. This magnificent home, set on 54 acres against the foothills of South Carolinas Blue Ridge Mountains, is now on the market for $22 million making it the highest priced residential listing in South Carolina. The cost to recreate this property today, would be north of $30 million. Circle Creek features fully bespoke construction, thoughtful touches, and every amenity a luxury homeowner could want. Built in 2013 to resemble an English Manor, the home features six bedrooms, seven full bathrooms and four powder rooms; soaring 25-foot-high ceilings in many rooms; custom stone mantels and fireplaces throughout the home; and amenities including a home theater, outdoor kitchen, network-controlled lighting and security systems, a lower-level pub, and an elevator. The estate is being sold completely turnkey, with all furniture, artwork and equipment included in the sale. The attention to detail at Circle Creek is evident in the eclectic combination of materials sourced from around the world, including a streetlamp from Central Park, stone planters from the Great Wall of China, and reclaimed cobblestones from a street in Pittsburgh. The home features a roof made of blue slate originally harvested from Pennsylvanias Chapman Quarry, which began operations in the 1850s. The homes interior is inspired by the English manors of the Cotswold District, with nods to the owners passion for the equestrian life found in design touches throughout. On the main level, the great room is surrounded by arched doors that open to a terrace and courtyard. Enormous cast-limestone fireplaces flank either side their chimneys reaching into the barrel-vaulted ceiling punctuated by curved wooden beams. The chefs kitchen has an elegant farmhouse feel, with a coffered ceiling and vent hood made from Longleaf pine beams salvaged from the historic Clifton Mill in Spartanburg. Travertine stone countertops, along with a custom Lacanche range and a Sub-Zero refrigerator, create the perfect space for the most discerning chef. An adjacent butler's pantry offers abundant storage, a Sub-Zero freezer, additional sink and dishwasher and laundry facilities. A chic wet bar is tucked between the kitchen and great room. The primary wing is also on the main level and features an ensuite bath with a fireplace and soaking jacuzzi tub. Two walk-in closets, a private gym and steam room round out a few of the amenities of the living quarters. The second floor acts as the guest level and offers two bedrooms with ensuite baths on one end of the residence and two apartment suites with private entrances on the other end. The homes lower level evokes the feeling of an Old World European pub, featuring reclaimed wooden beams from barns across Kentucky, leather furniture and a temperature-controlled wine cellar. A large state of the art theater also resides on the lower level. Equestrians will appreciate the three large arenas one for warming up, one for dressage and a 200' x 70' covered arena for jumping. The covered ring is irrigated and features a mirrored wall and an adjacent storage area. The 12-stall horse barn, was constructed using reclaimed timbers from a mill along with an old barn.
