Agent's Comments

Extremely rare opportunity to purchase a piece of history in the historic village of Pinopolis. The Pineland Village, now known as Pinopolis, was founded circa 1845 as a retreat for Plantation owners to escape Lowcountry nights, thought to cause ''country fever'' (malaria). In the early 1900's, The Percival Ravenel Porcher II House was built for the Porcher Family as a summer house. Dr. Morton Waring and Frederick Porcher built the first homes in the Pineland Village and Dr. Waring practiced medicine in the village but also on the surrounding plantations and served as a doctor in the Civil War. Situated on a beautiful .77 acre corner lot with majestic oak tree laced with spanish moss, this classic Lowcountry home is awaiting its new owner.The property features an exquisite main house plus detached cottage formerly used as the office of Dr.Morton Waring. Gleaming heart pine flooring, multiple fireplaces, soaring 12-foot ceilings, extensive wainscoting and crown molding, solid wood doors- all of the beautiful character historic homes offer. The enclosed front porch is heated & cooled and leads to a central hallway that opens to 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and the dining room which is located in the heart of the home. To the right of the dining room is the den with gorgeous wood walls and ceiling along with built-in bookshelves with gun cabinets. Make your way to the back of the home to find a spacious kitchen , walk-in pantry with laundry room, and breakfast nook that overlooks the lawn. Don't forget to find the hidden, secret passage door in the kitchen pantry floor that allows for quick access to the basement of the home. Another cool and fun feature only found in historic homes. There is an attached 1 car garage and tons of extra storage in the basement. The expansive backyard is full of southern charm and will have you winning yard of the month year after year! Complete with a meticulous lawn, irrigation system, detached carport with storage, lush, mature native landscaping overlooking the Dr. Morton Waring office. Floor to ceiling antiqued wood encompasses the Dr's Office.

There is also a post office which began in 1894 where Elizabeth Ravenel was the former postmaster. The name "Pinopolis" comes from the many pine trees in the area and the peninsula is surrounded by Lake Moultrie. This 60,000 acre lake draws tourists to visit year after year to catch record breaking fish and to enjoy boating, water skiing, camping and more!
