Lot Description
Southern Oaks Plantation
Unique Private Farm and Historic Family Mansion
Just off Hwy. 9 and Hwy. 38 on Beauty Spot Road in Bennettsville SC
Historic Plantation with approximately 6,700 square feet. Circa 1810.
During the Civil War and to evade Gen. Sherman's destructive march on the South, the mansion was actually dismantled piece by piece & rebuilt on its current location. Southern Oaks is known for being the first home in Marlboro County to have the modern convenience of a telephone and is registered on the historic South Carolina Cotton Trail. The home features gorgeous woodwork inside and out. Hardwood floors, pocket doors and mantle places. Extensive grounds and outbuildings with approximately 9.8 acres of land. Pecan, Oak & Black walnut trees line the entrance drive. Southern Oaks is formerly known locally and abroad as Southern Oaks Restaurant. It offers a fully commercial stainless steel kitchen and operational dining rooms on the first floor. Dining rooms have retained all of their original character and could easily be converted back to living space without any renovations. The former owners maintained their living quarters upstairs with separate kitchen and accommodations. Southern Oaks would make a wonderful Bed and Breakfast, Restaurant or a Grand Private Residence.
