Myrtle Beach SC Gated Communities Real Estate

Weehaw Plantation aka Longleaf Nature Preserve unfolds across roughly 1,028± acres of riverfront Lowcountry wilderness—a rare private domain of longleaf pine savanna, centuries-old camellia gardens and historic ricefield landscapes just minutes to Georgetown’s waterfront. The main residence (c. 1990; ~2,833 sq ft per public record) sits under grand live oaks with long water views over a 40-acre salt water impoundment, steps from a floating dock. A network of miles of biking/hiking trails, freshwater and saltwater fishing spots, an outdoor amphitheater, and a beautifully designed stable with guest/groom’s quarters make the property equal parts retreat and sporting estate. Within the broader Weehaw landscape stands the Weehaw Rice Mill Chimney, one of just seven extant rice-mill chimneys in Georgetown County and listed on the National Register of Historic Places—an enduring reminder that Weehaw was among the area’s earliest successful tidal rice plantations. Private, immersive, and alive with wildlife, this is Lowcountry living at estate scale—yet close to Pawleys Island and the historic seaport of Georgetown. Approx. 1,028.6 acres with gated entry and a 2-mile private drive to the homesite; extensive trails through longleaf pine, cypress bottoms and open fields. Main house offers 4 BR / 4 BA and is sited beneath live oaks with expansive water views and a floating dock on the impoundment. Stable complex modeled after Hobcaw Barony’s stables, with stalls, tack/wash rooms, fireplace, full kitchen and covered patio and guest/groom’s quarters; pastures and a stocked pond nearby. Additional structures include Spa Cottage, Greenhouse, Maintenance shop and large metal storage building painted green to blend seamlessly into the landscape. Amenities across the preserve: amphitheater for star-gazing or events, both fresh & saltwater fishing, birding and nature photography, plus picnic areas and a meditation pavilion by a stocked freshwater pond. Located within Georgetown’s famed river confluence corridor (Black, Great Pee Dee, Waccamaw & Sampit), with beaches, marinas and dining minutes away; Charleston less than 75 minutes. Less than 15 minutes to the Georgetown Airport allows for private jet access. The preserve setting offers true privacy and a “world-of-your-own” feel once inside the gate; wildlife viewing is exceptional and day-to-day life or hosting flows easily between porches, lawns and trails. Trails, equestrian facilities and water access enable four-season recreation without leaving the property. Private showings by qualified appointment only.
