1185 POCO SABO LANE, GREEN POND, SC 29446
Green Pond, SC 29446
Poco Sabo is a classic Lowcountry sporting plantation located in the heart of the renowned ACE Basin. Located 30 miles up the Ashepoo River from beautiful Saint Helena Sound and less than an hour from downtown Charleston, South Carolina Poco Sabo is part of a unique and distinguished community - centered on sporting pursuits and anchored by a deep-rooted conservation ethic. The conservation easement on Poco Sabo is held by the Lowcountry Land Trust. It provides for additional dwellings and reconfiguration, while protecting the overall integrity of the land and allowing uses typical of a Lowcountry plantation.Perfectly sized at 1,656 acres, Poco Sabo boasts nearly three-fourths of a mile of frontage on the picturesque Ashepoo River and one and a half miles of frontage on Beef Creek. Poco Sabo has enjoyed decades of dedicated waterfowl and game management. Today, the plantation offers 140 acres of tidal rice fields and 70 acres of inland impoundments (all expertly maintained), with permits and potential to impound an additional 21 acres inland. Approximately 50 acres of tidal impoundments tucked away along Beef Creek are currently fenced and planted in corn. Greentree reservoirs may also be utilized as natural habitat for wood duck. The most popular species of waterfowl found at Poco Sabo are green-winged teal, wood duck, wigeon and gadwall. Poco Sabo's mature mixed hardwood and pine forests also harbor abundant deer, turkey and other wildlife. A large section of timber located across Bennetts Point Road has sandy soils and high elevationsufficient for pre-season quail release with potential to manage for wild coveys. Twelve acres of fields with faux power lines have been planted for the 2025-2026 dove season. Lying in a freshwater zone of the Ashepoo River and containing several ponds, Poco Sabo enjoys exceptional access to bass, bream and catfish. As for boating, there is currently a landing on Beef Creek which can be used by smaller vessels. There is also the ability to construct a deepwater dock directly on the Ashepoo River. Like many desirable Lowcountry plantation homes, the main house at Poco Sabo was constructed on a bluff, set back from any roads and carefully situated to take advantage of the prevailing breeze. The driveway leading to the residence passes through a grove of ancient live oak trees and is flanked by fenced horse pasture and a pecan orchard. The home is ideally positioned for sunrise views over an old rice impoundment, the vista extending out toward an unbroken ribbon of wetland, forest and sky. On the terrace, one can sit and enjoy the gentle westerly winds; or just steps away is the adjacent azalea garden, whose riotous bloom provides a burst of color every March and April. Built in 1934, the main house at Poco Sabo was designed by the Charleston-based architectural firm of Simons & Lapham, known for their restoration of historic homes in the area - including Charleston's Rainbow Row and Dock Street Theater. Though originally intended as a humble hunting lodge, the house today stands as a grand structure at 6,227 square feet with four en suite bedrooms and two half baths. It is fortified with a standing seam metal roof and beaded shiplap cypress siding. Significant additions include an east and west wing, two sunrooms extending toward the house pond, and a handsome portico over the entrance. Perhaps most importantly, Poco Sabo sets the stage for quintessential Lowcountry entertaining and hospitality. Beginning in the main house with its authentic cypress-paneled billiards room, expansive views from large windows and French doors, gracious formal dining room, intimate library, modern office and more, guests immediately feel a sense of history, comfort and home. Conveniently, there is a primary bedroom downstairs on the east wing and three en suite bedrooms upstairs. The west wing functions as an informal entrance, starting with the large mud roomcharacterized by green-painted beadboard and red brick flooring. It is here that firearms are secured and every type of recreatio
