Old Kinloch Road, Georgetown, SC 29440 - Georgetown County

At the heart of South Carolinas renowned Santee Delta lies the 5,801-acre Kinloch Plantation. Comprising 14 rice plantations along the Eastern Seaboard's largest river delta, Kinloch is surrounded by a tapestry of prestigious waterfowl hunting estates and vast acreages of preserved state and federal land. Here, a unique convergence of salt and freshwater conspires with the land to create a sportsman's Eden, where tens of thousands of migrating ducks touch down each winter. Come spring, schools of spawning shad leave the ocean to swim upriver, an ancient ritual unmarred by time.

Rich in history, Kinloch boasts a restored 18th-century rice mill (listed on the National Register) and an authentic 15-room hunting lodge. The lodge was built in 1923, features murals painted by famed waterfowl artist Richard Bishop, and stands where the original plantation house once was. An oak and magnolia allee leads to the historic site, surrounded by moss-laden live oaks and flowering azaleas, and overlooks a picturesque 25-acre lake. The property is populated by two guest cottages, a manager's house, a foreman's house, a cooking shed, a sporting clay course, offices, and various farm buildings.

Encompassing 2,400 acres of meticulously managed waterfowl impoundments, 2,700 acres of lush marshlands and islands, and 700 acres of verdant upland, Kinloch offers an outdoor recreational platform like no other. The plantation, known for its exceptional duck hunting, also harbors flourishing turkey and deer populations within a mosaic of fields and woodland. There's a reason why the families of Eugene duPont and Ted Turner have enjoyed and stewarded this remarkable property on the banks of the North Santee for a combined total of nearly 100 years.

Located just 10 miles from the Georgetown airport, 28 miles from the beaches of Pawleys Island, and a mere 50 miles from the historic charm of downtown Charleston, Kinloch is the ideal retreat for family and friends, a combination of unparalleled wildness and seclusion, with easy access by plane or car. Rich in culture and ecological diversity, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of acres of protected lands and waters, the Santee Delta offers a rare East Coast landscape of conservation and tranquility.
