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.
