Wicklow Hall is a one-of-a-kind retreat tucked in among the plantations along the North Santee River Road in Georgetown County. These include Rochelle, Kinloch, Millbrook, and Annandale; a unique set of historic sporting neighbors protected by conservation easements.
Wicklow has a colorful history. The main house was built in 1835 by Rollins Lowndes and situated on the edge of commercial ricefields. It is a charming Greek revival structure with rarely seen Egyptian revival woodwork. In the early 1900s the Kinloch Gun Club acquired the property, added an additional wing to the house, and used the residence for a temporary club house. In later years Cordes Lucas became owner of the property. Cordes was the manager of Kinloch Plantation and a direct descendent of Jonathan Lucas, the inventor of the rice mill. In recent years the property was owned by a member of the DuPont family who hunt...
Wicklow has a colorful history. The main house was built in 1835 by Rollins Lowndes and situated on the edge of commercial ricefields. It is a charming Greek revival structure with rarely seen Egyptian revival woodwork. In the early 1900s the Kinloch Gun Club acquired the property, added an additional wing to the house, and used the residence for a temporary club house. In later years Cordes Lucas became owner of the property. Cordes was the manager of Kinloch Plantation and a direct descendent of Jonathan Lucas, the inventor of the rice mill. In recent years the property was owned by a member of the DuPont family who hunted with her family next door when they owned Kinloch. Mrs. DuPont loved Wicklow and made many improvements to the property during her tenure.
Today, Wicklows spectacular grounds cover 8.75 acres framed with azaleas, camellias, huge live oaks and pines. The old ricefields behind the house are now wooded. A landscaped pond is adjacent to a long driveway leading to the main house and offers easy access to the guest house, managers residence, garden shed and pump house. The buildings have been recently painted and upgraded in the last four years. There are numerous upgrades to all buildings including a new heating and cooling system in the main house, new water treatment system and fiber optic lines.
Wicklow Hall is well located less than 15 miles from restaurants and marinas in downtown Georgetown and 43 miles to historic Charleston. There are two boat landings just minutes from Wicklow. One is located at the South Carolina DNR Landing on the North Santee River and the South Island Ferry is located on the Inter Coastal Waterway.
This property will appeal to anyone wanting a secluded place in one of the most beautiful pristine areas on the Atlantic Coast.
