Secessionville Manor, one of the greatest historical estates in Charleston is on the market for the first time in almost thirty years. Within twenty minutes of downtown Charleston one enters the estate onto a private drive that passes by massive Oaks over 300 years old. Secessionville Manor was built in the 1820's and has been beautifully maintained by the current owners. The Manor house was used as a hospital for wounded soldiers during the Civil War. The incredible views from the east porch overlook marshes and the Morris Island Lighthouse. This estate is on deep water with dock (being rebuilt ). There is a guest house with two bedrooms, staff/security quarters, a pool, an orchid greenhouse, and some of the most beautiful gardens and grounds in Charleston. The Manor House which is not only grand but gorgeous, has four bedrooms with multiple baths. Secessionville Manor has been the scene of countless social events during the last thirty years. This estate is a must see for the Buyer seeking privacy, beauty, and a property of significant historical importance.
