The Devereux Milburn House is a fine Regency-style home built in 1902. The property is meticulously renovated and tastefully updated. This magnificent 5.9-acre compound was formerly the home of Devereux Milburn, New York attorney and dashing international polo star.

True to its sporting history, the property is within blocks of Aiken's national equestrian competition center, 3 polo fields, a thoroughbred race track, public pickleball and tennis courts, and the prestigious Palmetto Golf. The clay roads lead to a 2200-acre riding preserve.

The elegant estate includes a 9,173-square foot manor house, two guest cottages, a swimming pool and pool house, a 3-bay garage, a green house, and a 9-stall barn with 3 irrigated paddocks and run-in shed.

Architect Julian Peabody designed this residence for Mr. Milburn. It is a striking and imaginative home which carried Peabody's design ability to extraordinary heights. He designed several of Aiken's grandest winter colony homes, but the Milburn house is in many ways the most delightful. And now, the entire estate has received an extensive renovation.
