Land. Legacy. Lifestyle. This incredible retreat was born from a deep-seated love of horses, hunting, and the natural world. Serving as a cherished seasonal refuge, offering a secluded escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this elegant property is now available. Discover the tranquil retreat of Estancia Wiggins, a sprawling sporting estate situated in the serene Lowcountry hamlet of Ehrhardt, South Carolina. The harmonious blend of old-world tradition with modern conveniences reflects the owners' passion for the design and architecture of Argentina. Standing proudly amid 83 +/- acres, this property offers a multitude of opportunities for the sporting equestrian to indulge their passions. Polo, jumping, dressage, combined driving or any Western discipline will be effortless here. The exquisite home is a testament to the owners' unwavering dedication to authentic Argentine design. Every detail has been meticulously curated, from the imported tile floors to the seamless blend of antique and modern furnishings. Whether hosting a grand soirée or seeking a tranquil evening next to one of your four fireplaces, this home balances sophistication with comfort, making it the ultimate destination for luxurious living. No expense was spared in construction or design. The custom cabinetry was skillfully crafted by local artisans, while the rafters and mantles were carefully selected and imported from afar. Meticulous attention to detail is evident in every corner of the house. Cultivated and natural landscaping surrounds the Estancia, offering sweeping views for your viewing and riding pleasure. Seven four-board fenced paddocks, each equipped with Ritchie automatic waterers, are located on the property. For training days, a round pen and multiple ideal areas for schooling await you including a full stick and ball field. Among the numerous outbuildings are the owners' tack room, complete with a luxurious kitchenette; a six-stall rustic Argentine-style polo barn, and a five-run kennel that once housed the owners' private pack of fox hounds. The next jewel in the crown of this property is the main barn. Again, echoes of Argentina are woven into its design along with craftsmanship that pays homage to the property's locale. Custom-milled cypress and stall fronts blend seamlessly into the stucco design, with 4 12x12 stalls. The tack room of the main barn is built from heart pine and cypress wood, salvaged from ''the old Smith House'' that once stood on this property, and has custom-built bookshelves for all your reference material. On the property sits the current owner's art studio. The painter and sculptor has spent countless hours in this refurbished cookhouse, dreaming up and creating some of the works that that dot the property. Nestled in a far corner of the property is the Estancia Wiggins dancehall. Originally created to host outdoor parties or luncheons as guests took aim on the shooting course, modeled after one of Sea Island Resort's prestigious skeet courses, this versatile building is ready and waiting for your personal touches. Estancia Wiggins also has charming, peaceful abode fondly titled ''Fender Cottage.'' This cottage, original to the property, has been lovingly restored to retain its ''Old South'' feel. It boasts a sitting room, a quaint kitchen, two bedrooms, and a well-appointed bathroom, making it an ideal retreat for guests. There are still others, including a caretaker's cottage and private chapel. The current owners have poured their hearts into this property and hope that the next steward of this land will appreciate its rich history and legacy of equestrianism and sporting lifestyle. This idyllic setting is a true haven for anyone who loves the outdoors and the lifestyle it offers. It must be seen to be truly appreciated. A complete set of photos, videos & drone coming soon.
