210 Acres in Saint Matthews, SC - $1,598,000
Aeolian Hill is an impressive 210 acre estate located about 60 minutes from Charleston, SC and 30 minutes from Columbia, SC. This exquisite property was named by the owner after the Greek god of wind, Aeolus, due to the pleasant breezes which often blow across the estate.
