I thought Manigault, the publisher of The N&C in Charleston bought a large portion of Annandale. Mr. Reeves was good to me over the yrs. I got to hunt there.

COLUMBIA, SC — The University of South Carolina agreed Friday to sell a 1,500-acre Lowcountry coastal plantation for $4 million.
The buyer's name was not released immediately. The buyer is still inspecting the property, USC trustees chairman Gene Warr said. USC has leased the nearly 200-year-old plantation founded by rice planter William Lucas for years after it the school stopped using it for insect research.
The school asked for at least $4 million when the plantation was put out for sale again in May. USC paid about $1 million for the property in the 1970s.
University trustees agreed to sell the plantation straddles Georgetown and Charleston counties along the South Santee River and includes a 8,665-square-foot plantation home and a 2,546-square-foot cottage.
Marsh and wetlands make up two-thirds of the property.
Plantation renters have included hunters and filmmakers shooting a Kevin Costner movie.
But upkeep of the historic site was expensive. USC has estimated the plantation’s annual maintenance costs at more than $100,000.
After troubles in finding new renters, USC trustees agreed a year ago to sell the plantation.
University leadership agreed that sale proceeds would be set aside for another land purchase.

That place looks awesome. I would rarely leave, especially if I had a deepwater dock for my boat (obviously if you buy this place, you buy a sweet boat to keep on the river).
No kidding.
State agencies are notorious for bare bones minimum maintenance. Wish I had the money to keep her up.
I know who was looking at it. I heard he bought it but im not 100% sure. just heresay
I hope they know what they will have to do to get that place back right. Pretty much all of the impoundments needing rebuilding 5-10 years ago. Nice place for sure, but it is going to take some serious cash to get it in the shape it deserves.
