    Story from Jam Press (Historic Estate Sale) Pictured: Outside the sprawling estate's main house. Inside sprawling historic estate belonging to war hero – up for grabs at $14.7M A sprawling historic estate featuring a guest home, private theatre and woodland walkways has gone on the market at an eye-watering $14.75 million. The property, which dates back to the early 1800s, originally belonged to a prominent figure in the Revolutionary War. Brigadier General Peter Horry teamed up with Francis “Swamp Fox” Marion, a military officer, against the British troops between 1775 and 1783. After the war, he retired to the estate, which was sadly destroyed by fire and later reconstructed in the early 1900s by Cornelia Sage. Cornelia, who was the director of the Albright Art Museum, New York, US, became the first woman to serve in this position of a major art museum in the country. She was also known for her history of deconstructing and reconstructing historic homes, while carefully maintaining the original materials and workmanship. In 1949, her new home was complete and now, the property is ready for pastures new to mark the next chapter of history. Across 7,910 sq ft, there’re five bedrooms, an expansive kitchen and dining room, as well as a preserved gun room. There are also additional buildings, such as an office, guesthouse, private theatre and sauna. Red panelled walls encompass the entrance hallway, creating a striking contrast between the heavily patterned rugs and oak wood furnishings. Different pieces of historic artwork adorn the walls, as well as having the original archways preserved. In the gun room, four leather chairs are positioned adjacent to one another, with a fireplace the main feature of the space. Across the walls, glass-door cabinets display the historic weaponry, as well as books above and below providing information on time gone by.

    An awe-inspiring historic estate, complete with a guest home, private theatre, and enchanting woodland walkways, has made its grand entrance into the market at a staggering price of $14.75 million.

    Hailing from the early 1800s, this exquisite property was once the cherished abode of a distinguished figure from the Revolutionary War, Brigadier General Peter Horry. He valiantly joined forces with the famed Francis “Swamp Fox” Marion, engaging in a spirited battle against British troops from 1775 to 1783.

    After the war, General Horry chose to retire to this very estate, but tragedy struck when it was engulfed by fire. However, the indomitable spirit of preservation prevailed, and in the early 1900s, Cornelia Sage, the visionary director of the Albright Art Museum in New York, embarked on the reconstruction of this historical gem. Cornelia was a trailblazer, serving as the first woman to hold such a prestigious position at a major art museum in the United States. Renowned for her expertise in deconstructing and reconstructing historic homes while preserving their original essence, she brought new life to the estate in 1949.

    Spanning an impressive 7,910 sq ft, the estate boasts five splendid bedrooms, a generously proportioned kitchen and dining room, as well as a meticulously preserved gun room.

    The property also includes additional buildings, such as an office, guesthouse, private theatre, and even a sauna, catering to every desire.

    Stepping into the entrance hallway, visitors are greeted by striking red panelled walls, artfully contrasting with the intricate patterned rugs and oak wood furnishings. Throughout the estate, historic artwork graces the walls, and original archways have been meticulously preserved.

    The gun room, adorned with four leather chairs positioned around a welcoming fireplace, serves as a tribute to the estate’s rich history, displaying antique weaponry in elegant glass-door cabinets.

    One of the entertainment rooms sets a serene ambiance with an impressive mural of mountains and trees, perfect for relaxation and rejuvenation.

    The dining room, with its elegant shades of blue, purple, and pink, can accommodate eight guests, promising delightful gatherings.

    Ascending the three-storey staircase, the walls bear witness to more historic artwork, accompanied by an exquisite chandelier hanging from above.

    The master bedroom befits a true hero, featuring a grand four-poster bed, central fireplace, cozy seating area, and a wooden davenport for contemplative letter-writing.

    Other bedrooms echo the theme of richly patterned flooring and tastefully appointed furnishings, inviting comfort and warmth.

    Outside, a screened porch beckons, offering ample outdoor furniture for leisurely conversations on balmy summer nights.

    The estate’s splendor extends to a private theatre, where eight seats face a wall-to-wall screen, ideal for entertaining guests with captivating documentaries or historical dramas.

    Boasting 1.25 miles of shoreline frontage and a charming widow’s walk, the estate presents breathtaking vistas over Dover and the Winyah Bay, South Carolina, US.

    Trails meander through the grounds, connecting pavilions, pergolas, fountains, and a fire pit to a brand-new dock.

    Privacy is paramount, with the estate’s entrance concealed behind gates, ensuring tranquility for residents one mile down from the main road.

    This 957-acre haven, a true testament to preservation and restoration, has earned international recognition for its pristine natural beauty, encompassing cypress swamps, hardwood forests, and wildlife plots.

    Situated a mere six miles from Georgetown, the estate offers convenient access to the nearest airport and the captivating coastal region.
