William Means just listed Medway Plantation! Medway Plantation is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is rich in history. Dating to 1686, the main house is the oldest masonry structure in South Carolina. It was rebuilt in 1704, had substantial additions made in 1855, and was completely renovated in 1929. Surrounded by approximately 6,728 lush acres that are protected by easements for traditional land uses, this magnificent home includes an impressive array of superior amenities. The main house features a living room graced with 10-foot ceilings, heart-pine flooring, and wainscoting. The dining room offers cypress-paneled walls, and the commercial-grade kitchen includes a pantry. The inviting master suite boasts a fireplace, and the five additional bedrooms, five full and one half baths are comfortable and convenient. Other highlights include four guest houses, three staff houses, indoor and outdoor pools, a boat landing, a lakefront lodge, a 12-stall horse stable, a greenhouse, a double avenue of oaks, and traditional formal gardens. Located on the Back River near Charleston, the property also features 13 lakes and impoundments for recreational fishing and hunting.

I would like to see additional interior photos of Medway to show a potential client.
Thank you,
B.Clark
I will have the listing agent, Robert Hortman, send you additional photos as soon as possible. Thanks!
You forgot to mention that Medway Plantation was owned by Landgrave Thomas Hamilton Smith. He was Governer of South Carolinain in 1693. He is buried in the family grave on the Medway Plantation.
(I know this because Thomas Hamilton Smith was my grandfather many, many greats back. I have the history of my Smith Ancestors and it includes the story of Thomas Hamilton Smith owning the plantion. Mary Anne (Smith)Erlinger
Thanks so much for that extra piece of history.
