1850s Plantation In Berkeley County On The Market For $1.4 Million

BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C.–If you’ve ever wanted to own a piece of Berkeley County history, now you can–if you can afford it.

According to the realty website Trulia.com, Gippy Plantation in Moncks Corner is currently on the market. It was listed on the site approximately two weeks ago.

The 6,528 square foot plantation sits on nearly five acres of land and comes equipped with seven bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms and a guest cottage.

The asking price for the property is $1.4 million with an estimated mortgage of nearly $7,000 a month.

The Antebellum home is reportedly in the process of being put on the National Historic Registry.

In 1982, Gippy was selected for the filming of several scenes for the movie Lords of Discipline.

The plantation’s name is said to come from an old runaway slave who hid in “Gippy Swamp” in a hollow tree.

Realtors for the property say the home was recently restored.
