Sold. Oh my! Rose Hill Mansion, Circa 1858. On 12 acres in South Carolina. $1,839,900

December 11, 2021

The mantels in this house are out of this world! Love the gothic style of this mansion! Rose Hill Mansion was built in 1858. It is located on 12 acres in Bluffton, South Carolina. This gothic style home features a covered porch, original hardwood floors, amazing mantels, grand sweeping staircase, stained glass, wide baseboards, beautiful woodwork and built-ins. This home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and would make an amazing bed and breakfast. There is a guest house on the property and I think I am seeing a covered pool in one picture. The Kirk family began building Rose Hill Mansion shortly before the Civil War. It sat unfinished for decades until John Sturgeon bought it in 1946. Six bedrooms, nine bathrooms and 8,222 square feet. $1,839,900
