Robwood, circa 1837, a treasured local landmark, known for its architecture and rich legacy; offers an exceptionally restored & livable historic home on 99.14 acres equipped with stables, arenas & pasture for equestrian, sporting and or agricultural pursuits. Robwood is one of the few remaining antebellum structures in Allendale County, South Carolina and is recognized on the National Register of Historic Places. Driving into Robwood, the low country ambiance of majestic oaks with Spanish moss and mature cedars sets the stage for this captivating historic home sited beyond them. A full renovation in 2019 retained much of the original floor plan and details while repurposing rooms and adding modern amenities for easy everyday living & entertaining. The interior highlights the home's early days with 13 ft. ceilings, wide plank pine walls & flooring, and wide center halls on each level. The thoughtful design now offers a lovely living room, sensational kitchen & keeping room, a main level primary suite with his & her baths and closets + new classic finishes including handsome pecky cypress beamed ceilings, shiplap walls and fabulous new built-ins including a dining alcove, boot bench and dog bath. The superb kitchen features beautiful natural light with well positioned windows, classic white cabinetry, quartz and walnut counters, a 6-burner gas cooktop, pot-filler, ice maker, double ovens & the most charming pantry established in an old porch space. The original center hall staircase leads to private sleeping quarters upstairs with two generous bedrooms, 2 new baths & a shared, super-size walk-in closet. The ground level offers 2 additional bedrooms, a room-sized bath, combined spacious kitchen/dining room and storage. The ground floor living is ideal for longer-term guests or as an in-law suite. Step outside to the lush back lawn to find an original carriage house, smoke house & grill / lounge area for fun evenings enjoying big sky sunsets over the pastures. Sited separately on the far side of the rear drive is a 20-stall center-aisle barn, built in 1997. This barn features 12 x 12 stalls, wash rack, fly system, tack room, half bath & shop/feed room with washer/dryer. A separate 10-stall shed row barn currently is used for storage. The facility includes 2 round pens and a 120 ft x 120 ft covered arena, lighted and irrigated for year-round use. These training facilities can be adapted for any equestrian discipline. Nearby are 4 sizable paddocks for turn-out and lovely pasture beyond for livestock. For those interested in livestock, the pasture has been home to as many as 400 head of yearlings. To top it off, you will love the versatility of the historic barn that has been renovated for multiple purposes -- gym, game room, workshop & office! This building has 2 mini-splits to keep you comfortable year-round. A generous parking court just outside the historic barn is the perfect place to keep your extra truck, RV or boat for a day trip or weekend on the coast.
