Mansfield
Plantation 893.4 Acres
Georgetown County, South Carolina

(SOLD)
Mansfield Plantation is a
National Historic Landmark consisting of 893.4 acres of "antebellum
authenticity" located on Black River near Georgetown. It was
early in the 1800's that rice plantations near Georgetown began to flourish
and created some of the wealthiest colonists in the country. Over 100
slaves worked at Mansfield and many lived in the slave village that still
stands today. Mansfield Plantation's main residence was constructed
during this time and is situated overlooking the rice fields at the end of a
stunning oak-lined driveway.
After the War Between the States
many of the plantations in the "low country" fell into disarray
and by the early 1900's were purchased by wealthy northerners who used them
as hunting retreats. In 1930 Mansfield Plantation was purchased by
businessman, Colonel Robert L. Montgomery, of Ardossan, Pennsylvania.
Col. Montgomery improved the plantation by renovating the main house, adding
beautiful brick bridges along the main driveway, a stable for their horses,
a laundry house, and three charming guest cottages. In 1970 the
plantation was purchased by Wilbur Smith of Columbia, South Carolina from
Mrs. Montgomery. The Smith family often traveled from their Columbia
home to Mansfield inviting friends to share holidays and hunting
excursions. Mansfield is presently owned and cared for by Sally Smith,
who inherited the property from her father in 1995.
Property Description
Mansfield Plantation consists of
893.4 acres located on the west side of the Black River, just a few miles
inland from the Atlantic Ocean. The topography is level or gently
rolling. The plantation fronts a paved road 3.5 miles north of the
historic seaport of Georgetown. After entering the plantation one
travels through a gorgeous long leaf pine and hardwood forest for over 1.5
miles to an oak lined section that extends past the old slave village, the
stables and pastures and on to the main house and guest cottages that
overlook the rice fields. The setting is spectacular. Scenes of Mel
Gibson's movie "The Patriot" were filmed here.
Improvements
The main house, built in the
early 1800's, is a one story frame structure of understated elegance.
It contains hardwood floors, 12 ft. ceilings, entrance hall, living room,
large dining room, sitting room, one bedroom, two baths, a modern kitchen
and sunroom. Elaborately carved woodwork is found throughout.
The old-brick guest cottages have a total of eight bedrooms and eight baths
and are situated in formal gardens near the main house.
Other improvements include a
paved boat landing, stable, fenced pasture, equipment sheds and storage
areas. Other historic structures include a slave village, a small
church, and the county's only remaining winnowing house, where rice kernels
were separated from the chaff.

2685.5 (approximately)
(SOLD)
One of the most
pristine natural settings on the Eastern Seaboard, South
Carolina's Santee River Delta is laced with meandering creeks,
marshes, rivers, and picturesque islands renowned for their
unspoiled beauty and bountiful wildlife. Rich in history,
the region is beautifully preserved with coastal plantation
properties dating back to the 18th century, when the marshlands
were enclosed with dikes and cultivated as the nation's principle
rice-growing area.
Part of Annandale
Plantation, this magnificent property embraces 2,685.5 acres
surrounded by plantation neighbors including Rive Hope, Kinloch,
Pine Grove, Rochelle, and Estherville. A splendid bounty of
pristine marshlands, rice fields, and uplands, the acreage spans
more than two and a half miles of shoreline on the Intracoastal
Waterway, with a deepwater dock provided. Annandale
is one of the most well-known duck hunting plantations in the country and
also offers excellent fishing, crabbing, and shrimping. Presently
improved with a main lodge, a caretaker's house, and two guest residences,
the magnificent property enjoys serene splendor in the South Carolina Low
Country. Within close proximity of historic Georgetown and the Atlantic
Ocean, this rare offering represents an exceptional investment opportunity. Location: Annadale

the east by the Intracoastal Waterway, across which lies the nature preserve
of Cat Island. To the south lie the Santee River Delta and the Santee
Gun Club, now owned by the State of South Carolina. The Georgetown
County Airport, accommodating private aircraft, is within 15 minute drive. Property:
A total of
2,685.5-acre includes 779.5+/- acres of marsh, 1,147+/- acres of
impounded rice fields, 759+/- acres of uplands. The
marshland is located primarily on Minim Island, a locale offering
excellent hunting, fishing, and crabbing and excavated
periodically for Indian artifacts. Annandale is one of the
few plantations in the area that was able to reclaim a large
portion of its original rice fields, prior to 1970s legislation
that gave the state ownership of coastal navigable waters below
the high water mark. Since the early 1900s, the rice fields
have been used primarily for duck shooting. In recent years
the duck fields have been leased to a hunting club for
approximately $100,000 per year, with about 30 blinds scattered
around the rice fields. The plantation spans more than 2 1/2
miles of frontage on the Intracoastal Waterway, providing a
deepwater Dock on Minum Creek offering safe harbor for large
sailing vessels and motor yachts, with 12' draft at low
tide. The uplands comprise natural hardwood, ancient live
oaks and pine forests, open fields and pasture, and a freshwater
pond. Game including deer, turkey, dove, and quail abounds.
