401.77 ACRES IN THE ACE BASIN

COLLETON COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA

 

Duharra’s earliest known existence is 1779. It was named by its owner, O'Brien Smith, for his home in Ireland meaning Castle on the Hill. In 1826 there was a post office nearby named Godfrey's Savannah with a tavern named Blue House where it is said that General George Washington dined as he traveled from Duharra Plantation where he spent the night before continuing his trip to Savannah, Georgia.

Today Duharra is part of a plantation which covers over seven thousand acres of the ACE BASIN. A tributary of Cuckolds Creek known Folly Creek, an intermittent stream, separates Duharra from the main body of the larger property. None of the old buildings on Duharra have survived the years although the old home site which is on a hill covered with beautiful live oaks remains. The home site is accessed by a long oak lined drive coming from a dirt road called Oregon.

The land is covered in planted pines with beautiful huge natural pines and hardwoods running along Folly Creek. Deer and turkey are common place and there are wood duck holes along the creek.

This property represents an opportunity for someone to create their own private country place in the ACE BASIN, one of the most beautiful places in the world. The property has substantial timber value and is unencumbered by conservation easements. Valuable tax benefits may be available for a buyer wanting to protect the property from future development. Driving time to Charleston is about one hour.
