Currently listed at $23,000,000 by Luxury Portfolio member Disher, Hamrick & Myers Residential, Inc, Sword Gate House is a Charleston luxury home without compare.

The estate has a pedigree that reaches back more than 200 years, including three decades in the 1800s when it was used as a prestigious private girls’ school, and a time in the early 1900s when the granddaughter of former president Abraham Lincoln purchased Sword Gate House for use as a seasonal residence.

The unique history of the estate and a recent restoration and reworking – which included repairing original plaster and woodwork and addition of modern amenities such as an intercom and integrated entertainment system – are detailed in a Luxury Portfolio magazine article.

Named for the grand gate that signals entrance into the estate, Sword Gate House is a truly significant property in a befitting location within Charleston’s Historic District.
