Private Gated Paradise With Riverfront Serenity

River Oaks Plantation features two miles of frontage on the historic Combahee River. River Oaks is a private gated two hundred seventeen acre paradise, the perfect location for the outdoor lover and sportsman!

This unique deep water property has a Grand Main house with a great hall perfect for entertaining. The Carolina room has a beautiful view of a covered dock with a gated canal leading to the Combahee River. The guest house is perfect for family and friends! The many features of River Oaks include... A large screened cook shed overlooking the gated canal, a road system throughout the property, a second dock overlooking the Combahee and exterior gate, two enclosed deer condominiums perfect for hunting or wildlife observation, a two thousand four hundred square foot equipment shed, and a rifle range.

River Oaks is located in the ACE BASIN which features the Ashepoo, Combahee and Edisto Rivers and is one of the largest undeveloped estuaries along the Atlantic Coast. Premium opportunities for turkey and deer hunters, and great fishing from either of the two docks on a gated canal leading to the Combahee. The canal and five ponds on the property serve as premier habitats for aquatic birds year-round, and as resting places for migratory ducks. Although Public Landing has a boat launching ramp, the present owner has been launching his Jon boat from the graveled road leading to his private boathouse and nearby dock. A second dock in River Oaks is located on the canal down a private RTV trail which terminates into a peninsula ideal for sunset cocktails or wine and cheese appetizers at sunset. The Combahee and exterior river gate are visible from the second dock. Two enclosed elevated deer condominiums are located amid shooting lanes in the back of the property. Portable heaters have enabled the present owner to hunt regardless of how cold the weather may be. There is a well-developed road system throughout the property to enable hunting and sightseeing. The area of River Oaks adjacent to the Combahee is a mix of wetlands, hardwoods, wetland vegetation, swamp, cypress trees, and planted pine. A one hundred thirty-five yard rifle and pistol range is on this property with a heavily built commercial bullet bunker to eliminate potential lead contaminationand provide safer space to zero riflesand practice shooting.
