The Cummings Estate

17-Acre Country Estate in Hampton County, South Carolina

      Built in the early 1950’s, this 2,738 square foot home is within the town limits of Hampton, South Carolina, but feels like a country estate! The well-maintained home was designed by well-known architect & designer John Truluck, and sits on a gorgeous 3.5 acre well-landscaped yard filled with mature pecan trees, pine trees, fig trees, and two grape vines. A majestic live oak tree provides abundant shade in the back yard.  A large greenhouse sits on the property and provides a fantastic space for those with a green thumb!

      This single-story home has 4 bedrooms and 2 ½ bathrooms. One of the bedrooms would make a perfect office with built-in shelving and desk. The walls and ceiling of the family room and kitchen were constructed from hand-picked, select cypress paneling from the once famous Lightsey sawmill in Miley. There is a formal dining room and a formal living room, both of which would be wonderful for entertaining. These rooms have huge windows allowing lots of natural light.

      The family room and all bedrooms are carpeted. The master bedroom has its own bathroom, and all four bedrooms have abundant closet space. The house has many other closets for additional storage, some of which are walk-in closets.

      There is a carport, a large circular driveway, and paved road frontage. Under the carport you will find a huge pantry, more closet storage, a small tool room, and a half bath. A covered patio out back provides for outdoor entertaining. The slate roof is original to the home.

      The house comes completely furnished and all appliances convey with the sale including a side-by-side refrigerator, dishwasher, washer and dryer, and custom stove with 2 ovens.

      On the back side of the property, behind the greenhouse, is a 10,000 sqft. cement block warehouse that sits on 13.49 acres. Approximately 5,000 sqft of this massive building is enclosed and would make a great workshop and/or storage facility. The lean-to sides run along the entire length of the building on both sides, have cement flooring, and add around 5,000 sqft additional storage space! Both the warehouse and the main house are equipped with 3-phase power. The land surrounding the warehouse has some timber value and provides a buffer and privacy from the adjacent landowners. Deer are abundant and this area offers excellent hunting opportunities!

      A 2020 survey plat shows 17.02 total acres. 2020 property taxes for the house, warehouse, and 12.9 tax acres (owner occupied, homestead exemption) were $1046.00.
