1348 Muller Rd, Blythewood, SC 29016

Property Description

Circa 1788, the historic Muller House is a rare opportunity to own a remarkable piece of Blythewood history. Built by the Haighwood/Hagood family, early settlers of the area, this four-room upcountry farmhouse stands on the highest elevation in Richland County and was once part of an approximately 1,450-acre farmstead. Rich in history and craftsmanship, the home showcases original heart pine floors, hand-hewn windowsills, carved mantels, and traditional joinery crafted by enslaved artisans. The original kitchen remains preserved in what is now the pantry and bar, while original hardwood flooring continues throughout the piano room and upstairs. The dining room retains its distinctive original green paint, complemented by cone flower motifs that pay homage to the property's landscape and heritage. A thoughtfully restored staircase, completed in 2025 with reclaimed wood and iron accents, blends modern craftsmanship with the home's historic character. The property's agricultural legacy spans generations, evolving from a cotton farm to grain, dairy, and cattle operations. A nearby cottage, now used as a game room, once served as the county's largest milk store, reflecting the farm's significance in the region. In 1908, Lee Muller and Lottie Lavinia Coyner Muller acquired the property, expanded the home and grounds, and established a lasting family legacy that continues in the surrounding road bearing their name. Later, Dr. Bill Moore cared for the property for 25 years, adding equestrian facilities, a large barn, and an apartment above the barn while honoring its rural heritage. Today, the Muller House continues to be cherished as a place where historic preservation and everyday living come together. From its architectural details and agricultural roots to its enduring connection to the Blythewood community, this extraordinary property offers a distinctive opportunity to carry its legacy into the next chapter.
