GROVEWOOD PLANTATION  

Grovewood Plantation is located only one hour and forty-five minutes from downtown Charleston and is situated on twenty-two acres of an old pecan orchard and still boasts over 200 trees. This acreage is almost completely surrounded by 400 acres of family property, much of which is under a conservation easement. Located at 1992 Congaree Road in Eastover, Grovewood, circa 1765, is one of a handful of Lower Richland County's grand antebellum plantations to survive Sherman's army's devastation of Columbia, South Carolina in 1865. There are 3,800 square feet, on two floors, of soaring piazzas, high ceilings, intricate mantles, wainscoting and moldings.

This home has wide plank heart-of-pine flooring throughout and retains virtually all of its original plasterwork as well as many of the original glass panes. The four original federal mantles, Greek revival crown molding, three of four Greek revival mantles as well as the wainscoting throughout the house are in an excellent state of preservation. A major restoration project including rewiring, new plumbing, porches front and back completely restored to reflect ones true to the 1835 renovation, exterior painting, and both full baths totally renovated and most of the interior repainted is historically correct colors.
