Incredible Goodwill Plantation
;void(null))
Surrounded by over 3,600 acres of preservation land, Goodwill Estate is a 736-acre gated haven located in Eastover, South Carolina, just east of Columbia. It is surrounded by Wateree River Heritage Wildlife Preserve, offering a vast perimeter of preserved land, ensuring unparalleled privacy and access to outdoor and native wildlife opportunities. Nestled amidst sprawling greenery and majestic pines, the estate evokes a sense of serenity and grandeur.
Steeped in history, Goodwill Estate dates to 1750 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. From its agricultural beginnings, Goodwill evolved to a milling operation in the late 19th century, and a hunting and fishing preserve in the early 20th century. Along the way, PT Barnum bought the estate for his granddaughter, and it became a shelter for his circus animals.
This property has so many amazing features, please be sure to watch the video and access the property flipbook for details. The Explore Goodwill Plantation link will allow you to view individual photos and videos of the various homes, historical features, water features, and development opportunities.
