Overview
Midway Plantation is a historic southern plantation built in 1785 by Revolutionary War Colonel Thomson as a wedding present for his son William Russell Thomson. Named for the location ''midway'' between Colonel Thomson's plantation and the Bride's family plantation, the property encompasses 37.4 acres and is surrounded by luscious gardens of grand oaks, camellias, magnolias, pecans and pines. The main house was modified in the mid 1850's and again in 1879. The present house is a two-story antebellum frame building with both Greek Revival and Federal influences. Listed on the National Register of Historic places, the home features a front facade of a pediment and two-tiered portico with four Tuscan columns on both levels, 6/6 windows along the sides, 3 chimneys and 5700SF, 4 bedroom4.5 bathrooms. The original wood paneling is accented by wonderfully high ceilings, original hardwood floors, fine moldings and 6 fireplaces. The ""Cook House"" has been transformed into a charming 2BR/2BA (1000SF) guest house while still preserving its historic character with more gorgeous wood paneling, exposed beams, beautiful floors, 2 original fireplaces and a huge wrap around porch.The grounds also include a 5000 SF climate-controlled barn that was designed and currently used to house a classic car collection. It also has an office, shop and full bathroom facilities. On top of this, there is a 7000 SF equipment and vehicle barn, an inground pool and Loggia, a new 850 ft well and a sophisticated inground irrigation system. Everything was constructed to match the style and design features of the main house. Together the two barns will fit a total of 40 vehicles!Located midway (about an hour) from Charleston and Columbia, this amazing property has so many options. Horse lover? The grounds are beautiful and it would be very easy to add fencing for pastures and a riding ring. The main barn is huge and luxurious (fully insulated and heated/cooled) and could easily accommodate up to 9 14'x14' stalls plus a wash rack, tack room and bathroom facilities. The equipment barn (with insulated walls) could also be easily converted into a second barn with more stalls and still room for all of your equipment.
