Its open floor plan and beautiful surroundings make entertaining a joy. High ceilings, Heart Pine floors throughout, exquisite custom trim work with 8' wood interior doors and a gourmet kitchen are just a few characteristics that make this home exceptional. The cook in the family will be pleased with the amount of storage you'll find within the custom cabinetry and large walk-through butler pantry. The grand 10'x5' island with classic Carrera Marble will likely serve as the heart of the home - naturally gathering family and friends. Other highlights of this gorgeous kitchen are the stainless steel appliances and farmhouse style sink, a 6 burner gas cook-top, large custom range hood, Old Carolina brick back-splash and double pull-out spice drawers. In the evenings, plan to sip sweet ice tea on your grand Southern veranda overlooking the manicured courtyard. Life is good at Clay Hill Farm.
The spacious living room is anchored by a handsome wood-burning fireplace that will fill the room with warmth during the cool holidays. Old Carolina brick was also used for the fireplace to complement the back-splash in the kitchen. Just off of the main living space is a room that can be used as you wish. This would make a wonderful study or could even serve as an additional bedroom with a small amount of modification. The mudroom will assist you well with the built-in racks and spacious storage benches created with boot height in mind. The first-floor master bedroom includes a spacious 17'x7' closet with built-in shelving. Relax in your oversized free-standing clawfoot tub with a glass of wine after a long day or wind down in the walk-in shower with Carrera marble tile floors. On the main floor, you'll also find a large dining room, foyer, laundry room just off the master bath and powder room. The second floor includes a guest bedroom with double closets, a large loft, that could easily convert to an additional bedroom, a full bathroom and ample attic storage space.
The barn will make the perfect gathering place for hunts, holidays and other family and friend functions. The living quarters include a wrap-around porch, full kitchen, living room with satellite tv, full bathroom and bedroom with walk-in closet. The two-car garage is equipped with workbenches and washer/dryer hookups. There is plenty of covered storage for tractors and equipment as well as enough room to store a 60' boat or RV. You'll also find a convenient processing kitchen built with harvesting game in mind and includes stainless steel tables, hot/cold water and walk-in cooler equipped with CoolBot technology for safekeeping or curing.
Clay Hill Farm is a stopping point for waterfowl in the winter months as it has been a sanctuary for years. The dike and waterfowl impoundment system include a newly installed 6", high flow, deep well powered by its own 3 phase power for flooding at your command. (A $40,000 improvement). The impoundment has room for many acres of expansion and the abundance of other wildlife including deer, dove and turkey make this place ideal for the outdoorsman. Year after year, the property has been managed and produces quality mature deer. Access the entire property through the extensive road network.
