7356 Johnson Shortcut Road Conway, SC 29527

We all say our animals live better than we do, but what if you could have both? On 25.61 acres of rolling fields in Conway, South Carolina, this exceptional equestrian estate offers the rare balance of refined living and serious horse infrastructure. Welcome to a property designed not just for life after work, but for a way of life that is your escape.
The 2,357 sq ft ranch home is thoughtfully positioned to overlook the pastures, allowing daily rhythms of farm life to become part of the view. The backyard is fully fenced and allows a safe haven for children and smaller pets. Inside, an open floor plan invites effortless entertaining and relaxed living. The kitchen is anchored by a full Thermador appliance suite, including a 5-burner gas cooktop, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator, all serviced by a 200 gallon propane tank. These high end appliances are complemented by quartz countertops, two generous pantries, a large island, and a custom built-in banquette. Open to the living area, this is the kind of gathering space that becomes the heart of the home.
The primary suite is a private retreat with tranquil barn views, dual vanities, custom cabinetry, and a beautiful custom shower. Two additional bedrooms share a bath, one featuring a custom walk-in closet. Practical luxury continues throughout with an oversized 1,147 sq ft epoxy-finished garage with custom storage systems, a 235 sq ft additional storage room, attic storage above, and 30 AMP 220-volt outlets. A separate 1,280 sq ft detached garage/workshop, whole-house Generac generator, tankless propane water heater, 2024 roof and HVAC system, and a full security system ensure both comfort, practicality, and preparedness.
Equestrians will recognize the quality immediately. The 66 x 72 timber-framed barn was designed for airflow and efficiency, featuring six 14x14 stalls with European fronts and dutch doors, 12 automatic waterers and 12 drum fans (both inside and out to accommodate future run outs), a concrete center aisle, and a 14x14 wash stall with hot and cold water. Plans and materials are available should you desire to add run outs from the dutch doors at each stall. The climate-controlled tack room includes butcher block grain prep counters, an oversized sink, rough in for a future bathroom, and a loft above for storage. There is also a 20x20 timber-framed hay shed for safe and clean storage of your hay deliveries. No need was left out of the planning for this state of the art barn!
Six established pastures are fenced with Centaur HTP® and Hot Rail HTP® systems set on pressure-treated posts, and planted in Tiff 9 and Coastal Bermuda grass. Frost-free hydrants with water shutoffs give you peace of mind in the changing seasons, and five 12x24 run-in sheds provide additional shelter under their metal roofs. For the versatility you need with horses, these pastures range in size from 1/2 acre to 3 acres. A 70 x 215 riding arena, prepared by Clint Bertelan for final footing, and a perimeter riding trail around the property create immediate usability, and plans for a future covered arena are also available. The front 3-acre field presents further opportunity to expand riding space, increase pasture, or potentially subdivide off for income or to create a family estate.
Location completes the offering. Positioned within reach of the Southeast's premier show circuits — Tryon, Aiken, Camden, and Southern Pines — and just 30 minutes to the renowned Parelli Natural Horsemanship Training Facility, this property connects you to both competitive excellence and lifelong horsemanship education.
With no HOA, no covenants or restrictions, and no flood required, this is an uncommon opportunity to establish your own equestrian headquarters in coastal South Carolina. If you are looking for an address that matches your ambition, schedule your private tour today!
