This magnificent historic low country estate was originally a summer plantation home dating from 1855 with later additions. Recently renovated, it maintains the integrity of it's original build: bead board and beamed ceilings, seven fireplaces, molding throughout, wainscoting, restoration and leaded glass, french doors and 10-foot ceilings. The home boasts new baths and a new kitchen with top of the line appliances to be included. Magical grounds with abundant dogwood, oaks, azaleas, magnolias and camellias. Front porch overlooks valley with pond. Gated entry, private drive, irrigation system, invisible fence, outbuilding, rear and side decks, in-ground "horizon" pool and hot tub.
Residing in Walterboro offers the best of both rural and urban living. It is a quintessential small southern town with two national historic districts. There are unique natural resources and nature-based tourism in the adjoining ACE Basin and other woodland areas which make up the majority of Colleton County. At the same time, Walterboro is located for convenient access to commercial, social, and cultural opportunities, and special events offered in a number of larger metropolitan areas and resort communities. Charleston, Hilton Head Island and Savannah, GA., are located within an hour-and-a-half drive. Walterboro provides the best of both worlds while offering an environment with a modest cost of living and the convenience of full municipal services. Fine dining, shopping and cultural offerings are abundant through an active historical society and arts council. Convenient transportation provided by major highways and a county airport.
Throughout the years this property has been the home of such prominent families as those of Jacob Walter (one of the town's first settlers), Reverend Dunwoody (pastor of Bethel Presbyterian Church), Mayor C.A. Savage, and Governor Richard M. Jefferies (serving from March 1942 until January 1943).
