Beautiful Historic Home in 'horse country'!  Let me know if you run across anyone interested in Beaufort or Hilton Head as a 2nd home.  Many of our buyers are coming from Aiken and surrounding areas.

Kara, great pictures and thanks for sharing the history behind the house.  The packing part - to pack peaches is really interesting.
