Property Overview

The 6,845-acre Springfield Plantation is well situated within minutes of Kingstree, South Carolina, 75 miles from historic Charleston and 60 miles from South Carolina's coast and beaches.

This offering provides a unique opportunity to own one of the last remaining plantations in South Carolina. Springfield Plantation is a premier recreational property. Everything you would need is included from the furnished plantation home and guest cottages to the jeeps and UTV's equipped for hunting. It is truly a remarkable get-away. Upland stands of mature pine and hardwood trees offer a host of wildlife management opportunities. Turkeys, deer, and upland small game are plentiful. However, while not currently managed for bobwhite quail, the site is very conducive for quail management. Most of the old fields have been planted to loblolly pine with wildlife openings dispersed throughout. The loblolly pine plantations offer an excellent source of income through timber harvesting.
