Have you been in the market for a historic, waterfront estate in South Carolina that boasts an extensive amount of land, privacy, gardens, caretaker homes, game house, dog kennels and even your own stable and livestock?

One has now just hit the market for $39,500,000.

The dreamy Lowcountry property is now officially on the market and boasts a lengthy history and an extensive amount of features for its future purchaser.

The historic property can be found in Yemassee at 1415 Gregorie Neck Road.

“Rarely does a plantation property possess so many superlatives. And rarely is it turnkey,” begins the Yemassee estate’s property description.

The listing is seemingly a paradise for those searching for a tranquil, private, quiet life that encompasses your own definition of living life in the South Carolina Lowcountry.

The property includes 4,409 acres, 8 miles of waterfront and marsh front land, extensive old growth forest, fishing ponds and tidal impoundments, a deep water dock on the Tulifinny, private and beautiful gardens and grounds as well as a circa 1930 stately brick mansion with sweeping river vistas, combining undisturbed tranquility with easy access, a release for the estate details.

The six-bedroom main house has been meticulously renovated and stands on a high bluff of live oaks that share as much history as the property itself, as well as panoramic views.

The main home also features a grand entrance portico on the landward side and a spacious sunroom, which spans the riverside. Additionally, each bedroom and gathering space is oriented to the water for optimal views.

Downriver, yet still within view of the main house, lies a game house that was built by the current owners. The building is complete with its own full kitchen, gun room and library. Its great room displays a vaulted ceiling, handcrafted from giant beams, and a towering stone fireplace in its center that is open on both sides.

Upriver lie two separate caretaker houses, which are just beyond the serpentine garden walls.

Also on the property sits an eight-stable horse barn attached to 15 acres of three-board fenced pasture, as well as a 16-vehicle climate-controlled garage and private dog kennels.

Over the last 30 years, the sprawling Yemassee estate has been a private recreational retreat under the long-time care of philanthropists Bob and Alyce Jepson of Savannah, Georgia.

“The owners see this as a good time in life to offer the property up for sale.” explains Charles G. Lane, Broker-in-Charge of Charleston-based Holcombe, Fair & Lane.

“They are offering it with furniture, décor, equipment, livestock, etc. - basically everything besides personal items and family heirlooms. It has been well-managed and is truly a once-in-a-lifetime offering,” Lane said.

As for the property’s extensive history, Gregorie Neck got its name from Alexander Gregorie, who purchased the plantation from a Mrs. DeVeaux in 1798.

Gregorie Neck was once of strategic importance due to its proximity to the Charleston-Savannah Railroad, as disrupting the vital Confederate supply line was the Union objective that launched the Battle of Tulifinny.

In 1927, New York financier Bayard Dominick bought Gregorie Neck from the Garbades, who were a local Jasper County family. Dominick then hired Henry Garbade to supervise the plantation and architect Willis Irvin to design the house, constantly improving the property and adding to its acreage, the estate’s historical summary, which was compiled by author Virginia Beach, states.
