Overgrown landscape around this gorgeous home. A wooden futon with plenty of fluff left. It grows in the United States from Southern Virginia through Florida and into Texas. A futon remains, blinds still hang from a window, the ceiling fan is practically melted downwards and now it stands waiting and forgetting.įun fact: Spanish Moss is neither moss nor lichen but a flowering plant native to Mexico, the West Indies, South America and several islands.
The home itself looks as though it was lived in at least maybe through the 1990’s. Built in Antebellum architecture which combined Greek Revival, Georgian and Neo-Classical styles typical of the Deep South during the latter 1800’s and early 1900’s. It may not in fact be the most beautiful home in the southern United States but it is very photogenic. Softly colored walls of pink in one room, a rocking chair on the porch where a parent would sit on hot summer evenings, the soft whir of a ceiling fan that is always on. A stunning visage, one could almost see the family who lived here before. Maybe it was a store or a small gas station as it has a large style awning in the front.ĭecadent in its dilapidated look, the nature around it accents this home so well. There is also another building right in front along the US-17 highway that is abandoned too. It is near the Marion National Forest and the Santee Coastal Reserve. With 2600 square feet it was last listed for sale in 2017. Surrounded in a land filled with older plantation style homes, this building was constructed in 1923. Everything swells and expands in the profound summer heat. The deep humidity of the southern coastal air allows for soft and extreme dilapidation seen here. Filled with wonder, a home so beautiful in its decay. Almost hidden down a busy highway, a treasure of an architectural styled home lays in wait. The glorious looking 1920’s mansion is along highway 17 heading south where it intersects with South Santee Road, in the small fishing town of McClellanville, Charleston County, South Carolina.Įmbedded nearby the South Santee River, nestled where thick and deep rooted trees covered in Spanish Moss grow.
