This meticulously restored example of pre-modern construction was originally the homestead of the Rhoades Timber Plantation built in the 1870s using heavy timber (longleaf pine and cypress)and peg and nail construction. The interior is composed of the same high quality, hand hewn timber, there is no drywall in this house. This home offers all of the beauty and serenity of country living, without the burden of extensive acreage to pay for and maintain. It is surrounded by an intensely managed wildlife preserve that consists of over 2,000 acres with the opportunity to become a member and pursue all of your outdoor passions. Otherwise, it acts as a great insulator from the outside world. The current owner has spent the past 5 years restoring this home in a manner that is period correct and has also added a master retreat to offer a level of comfort that isn't available in most homes of this age. The property is located within 90 minutes of Charleston, Columbia, Savannah and Beaufort, and is only 12 miles from the town of Bamberg. If square footage is important - MEASURE!!
