Robwood Plantation is one of the few remaining antebellum structures in Allendale County and is recognized on the National Register of Historic Places as the "Colding-Walker House". A quick excerpt from the register: "This house represents the evolution of a typical lowcountry planter's dwelling from a simple one-story, lateral gable house to a stately residence embellished with Victorian detailing. The building retains much of its historic fabric and is a fine example of Folk Victorian style architecture. Several frame outbuildings are also located on the property including a carriage house, smoke house and barn."
As you pull into Robwood, you're greeted by ancient large live oaks draped in Spanish moss and old historic cedars, wrapped in front and around this charming historic home. The home was fully renovated in 2019 and was meticulously and thoughtfully done. This home features modern amenities for easy living & entertaining, yet still shines its history throughout. It features 13 foot ceilings, wide plank old heart pine walls & flooring, and wide center halls on each level. There's a beautiful custom kitchen with top notch stainless appliances, new classic finishes including pecky cypress beamed ceilings, shiplap walls and new built-ins including a dining alcove, boot bench and dog bath. The home features 3 levels, the primary two being the upper levels, and the ground floor could be ideal for guests or an in-law suite. Additional features include a 2024 new architectural shingle roof, whole house generator, 2 private deep water wells, 4 gas log fireplaces, 1 ventless pellet stove fireplace & access to high-speed internet.
The outdoor living is just as good as the indoor features here, with a large private yard and nice fire pit patio lounging area beside the old carriage and smoke houses, ideal for beautiful sunsets over the pastures. The historic barn has been uniquely renovated for multiple uses and features a gym area, game room / bar area, workshop & office. This building is air conditioned with two mini-splits. The larger barn next door features 12 x 12 stalls, wash rack, fly system, tack room, half bath & shop/feed room with washer/dryer. A separate 10 stall shed row barn is in place as well and currently used for storage. Just down from the barn there's 2 round pens and a 120 ft x 120 ft covered arena, lighted and irrigated for all year use. There are four nice paddocks for turn-out and beyond the front pasture is larger pasture for livestock. The pasture has been home to as many as 400 head of yearlings.
The land here is beautiful rolling pasture, with some mature hardwood drain and beautiful live oaks and other trees for plenty of shaded area as well. There's a nice sized grain and hay storage building on the back side of the property as well, with its own separate entrance. There's plenty of highway frontage and dual road frontage here as well as large acreage fenced area. There's water piped and run in multiple locations across the property as well as power. If additional property or a caretaker house or even a storage warehouse type of area is needed, that's an option that can be considered here as well.
The property's location is remote but also an easy drive to many other cities, at around an hour to Aiken or Augusta and about 1.5 hours or less to coastal cities like Beaufort, Bluffton, Hilton Head Island and Savannah, GA.
