About this property

Nature Preserve, Great Property for a Getaway!

NO HUNTING ALLOWED ON THIS PROPERTY.

Over 1,000 private acres of pristine wildlife habitat, miles of biking and running trails, both fresh and salt water fishing, horse stable, amphitheater. A once in a lifetime getaway property with months worth of activities for all ages. Main living room has only TV in house.

Formerly a riverfront rice-cultivation property, the Preserve is located on South Carolina's Hammock Coast near the historic seaport of Georgetown, South Carolina—12 minutes from the KGGE FBO (which can accommodate a Gulfstream), only minutes from the Hammock Coast's award-winning, spectacular, sandy-dunes beaches of DeBordieu Colony, Pawleys Island, Litchfield Beach and Murrells Inlet, and one-hour, 15-minute drive from Charleston, South Carolina.

This once-upon-a-time plantation is at the confluence of two rivers; a meeting place of land and water teeming with wildlife. This unique property is being offered as a vacation rental retreat complete with private gated entrance and a full range of activities for guests. The property covers 1028.6 acres with a cozy 4BR main bunk house that offers an incredible water view with floating dock, together with extraordinary luxury outbuildings.

The Buildings-Main House: The spacious one and one-half story owner's house is situated on the waterfront in a grove of live oaks. The low country style home is spacious and offers comfortable luxury. Fully equipped kitchen, washer/dryer, 4 bathrooms and 4 bedrooms featuring 2 queen suites and 2 upstairs adorable bunk rooms under the eaves with 8 twins. The home is surrounded by nature—and nature only—as far as the eye can see. The house overlooks a 40 acre salt-water impoundment, and is nestled in a centuries-old historic camellia garden and live-oak alley which open to miles and miles of trails through long-leaf pine savannah into ancient cypress bottoms and open fields.

Stable with in-law/groom’s quarters:
The onsite stable which is beautifully designed after Belle Baruch’s own, with six stalls, feed, wash, and tack rooms, “stirrup cup” lounge with bar and fireplace, covered patio with Adirondack chairs, picnic table, and bike parking, groomsmen's quarters, and a roof accented by a clock and bell tower modeled after Hobcaw Barony stables—ring your hikers in for a stirrup cup! The stable boats a one bedroom and one bathroom. The stable overlooks pastures, archery targets, and a stocked fish pond. Guests are welcome to bring horses with additional fee and prior approval.

The Land:
A wonderful feature of Weehaw is the layout of the property. The house, gardens, fields, pastures and all improvements are located in the middle of property surrounded by woods and rice fields. Visitors travel from Weehaw's entrance gates down two miles of a private road to find themselves in a beautiful world of their own. This is truly a very unique experience! Once through the gates you are transported into a nature preserve like no other!

This property offers guests many unique experiences: birding, nature photography, trail biking, hiking, picnicking, stocked freshwater pond with Japanese meditation pavilion and much more.

No smoking and NO PETS.
Maximum Occupancy is 14.

A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING WEEKEND & VENUE!!!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Words cannot begin to describe how amazing Josh & Maggie's wedding turned out at Longleaf Nature Preserve on 4/6/24. I cannot thank Suzanne & Max & all of the staff at TideLife Vacation Rentals & Longleaf. Everyone was beyond accommodating, the lodge was super clean, the grounds were impeccable & the natural scenery & wildlife is unmatched. We enjoyed having the rehearsal dinner at the main lodge which was the perfect space. And...let's talk about the new bridal suite - the bridesmaids were able to have their own space on wedding day to get hair & makeup done, beautiful lighting, make up mirrors, lounging areas, kitchenette for champagne & charcuterie, plus the separate space for bride & groom. The groomsmen got to get ready in the main lodge having a big time (this is where the groomsmen stayed Friday night) - a little corn hole competition is good for the soul - they all really enjoyed it so much! And the outdoor ceremony setting with the moss draped live oaks & waterfront, reception, & weather just could not have been any better. We got so many compliments & everyone loved it. We are so blessed to have such a beautiful space here in Georgetown, South Carolina. Loved it so much! Pictures to follow online!!!:)

Beautiful Property, Main House has not reached full potential.
We were overjoyed to be staying at the property. We had very high expectations and the grounds did not disappoint! The property is beautiful; there is so much to explore. The outbuildings on the property were also gorgeous (stables and gym), they were well done & furnished with modern amenities, current decor and gorgeous bathrooms. The main house was unique and quite large. It had a hunting lodge type of feel. The house was nicely furnished, but we were disappointed with the age that showed in the house. All the bathrooms were in need of renovation (they were subpar compared to the ones in the gym and stables) & the kitchen was tired as well. They all showed their age. The management company was easy to work with & quite responsive. We opted not to have them come fix things like broken toilet paper holders & a fan that didn't work while we were there, but they would have come had we requested. An unusual element of the main house was how much personal stuff the owners leave there. All of the vanities had random things in them, the closet had some clothes, there were a few personal pictures as well as boots, clothes and hats in the mudroom. This is the first time I have experienced this in a vacation rental. I prefer things to be empty, it contributes to an overall feeling of cleanliness & attention to detail to the renter. I really don't feel that this property is as good as it can be just yet, but there is so much potential!! The main house felt like we were staying at friend's vacation house bc it was filled with so many personal things. Some people might not mind this but for us, we prefer a "less is more" approach. We were disappointed that there was no information or binder about the property. Usually we receive detailed info on how to use the different electronics, how to use certain things in the house etc. There were a few basics given but details about the property/grounds were missed! We did ask the grounds keeper a few questions and he was so friendly. Another issue we wanted to bring to light are the discrepancies in the listing vs the actual house. There were alligators in the back pond and middle pond therefore kayaking & paddle boarding (which are listed as options) would be dangerous. 2 of the bedrooms have queen beds, not kings, as listed. Additionally, there was no fire pit nor meditation garden to be found. Also while exploring outside, be careful, we encountered alligators, wild boars & snakes!
