Poco Sabo Plantation is a historic plantation, a hunting preserve, a private home, and a wildlife refuge in South Carolina's coastal plain.  Situated on the Ashepoo River in Colleton County and comprising approximately 1640 acres, Poco Sabo is a place of recreation, modern land management, and nature conservation.  The plantation contains a great variety of plant and animal habitats, well-regulated historic rice-fields, a pecan orchard, cultivated agricultural fields and managed forests.

The plantation is one of the original components of the Ashepoo-Combahee-Edisto (ACE) Basin, an innovative conservation program managed by The Nature Conservancy, Ducks Unlimited, various land trust, and corporate and private landowners.  This consortium works to preserve this refuge from the stresses and dangers of life in the twenty-first century.  Encompassing nearly 350,000 acres, the ACE Basin is the largest estuarine wildlife preserve on the Atlantic coast.
