About this home

A Rare Lowcountry Sporting Estate Where History, Nature & the Outdoors Come Together. Step beyond the ordinary and into a timeless piece of the Lowcountry. Set on nearly 9 acres in Yemassee, South Carolina, this exceptional 1880 classic Southern equestrian estate offers a lifestyle rooted in land, wildlife, horses, and the great outdoors. Currently operating as a working farm, the property is surrounded by the beauty and history that make the Lowcountry so special. A long, picturesque drive winds beneath a canopy of hundreds-of-years-old live oaks draped in Spanish moss, creating a truly unforgettable arrival. The 3-bedroom, 3-full-bath main residence was thoughtfully remodeled in 2001 and retains the character of a classic Southern home, including impressive 11-foot ceilings. The outdoor spaces are designed for gathering, entertaining, and enjoying the natural setting. An open brick patio features a wood-burning fireplace and grilling area, while the saltwater pool and pool house provide the perfect setting for long summer afternoons. The pool house includes both a full bathroom and shower for added convenience. For the equestrian or outdoorsman, the property offers an exceptional collection of improvements and possibilities. Horse pastures and stables complement a working shed equipped with a workshop, bathroom, processing shed, walk-in coolers, and industrial ice makers. Whether your passion is horses, hunting, fishing, farming, entertaining, or simply having room to roam, this property provides a rare opportunity to embrace the Lowcountry lifestyle at its fullest. Privacy and proximity to protected land are among the property's most remarkable features. The estate borders approximately 5,800 acres of Wildlife Management Area on two sides, formerly part of the historic Buckfield Plantation, with Richfield Plantation directly across the way. The property sits approximately 100 feet above sea level and offers a unique setting surrounded by expansive natural lands and abundant wildlife. Outdoor adventure is just minutes away. The Combahee River and a public boat landing are approximately 10 minutes from the property, while the Webb Wildlife Center, Hamilton Ridge, and Palachucola Wildlife Management Areas--together encompassing approximately 20,000 acres of protected lands--are about 30 minutes away. Historic Old Sheldon Church is also nearby, adding another layer of Lowcountry history to this remarkable setting. While wonderfully removed from the pace of town, the estate remains conveniently positioned approximately 30 minutes from Beaufort, 45 minutes from Bluffton, 50 minutes from Savannah, and about an hour from Charleston. This is more than a home--it is a rare opportunity to own a piece of the Lowcountry where history, land, wildlife, equestrian living, and outdoor adventure come together. A private sporting retreat, working farm, family compound, or simply a place to slow down and enjoy the land, this Yemassee estate offers a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find.
