Historic Notes:  Paperwork available concerning the history of this place with pictures.  A Cistern still exists outside the back screened porch.  This estate is situated on the Old Kings Highway which was the route taken from Charleston, SC to Camden, SC.  Wateree River is parallel to this road. Due to the estate being at the high point of the bluff, it was given the name 'Pointe Lookout'.   It is located 2 miles from Statesburg, which was once 2 votes shy of becoming the site for the capital city of South Carolina.

Note:  Owner bought this Home in 1987 with 3 acres to start.  She was living in the Camden area at the time.  She did not compare prices of other homes in the area either.  She just fell in love with the house and arranged financing to buy it!  She drove an hour to work & back each day because she loved the place.
She traveled 30 minutes to Camden, SC each Saturday during Fox Hunting Season to foxhunt.  Over the first 5 years, she bought 14 acres adjoining the original estate.  She ‘did without’ to do it that quick, but that still seemed too long.  So she purchased an additional 3 acres adjoining the original property in 3 years.  She again sacrificed in other areas of her life to get this paid off quickly.  Making a total of a little over 20 acres.  After Hurricane Hugo, only interior painting, wallpaper (1990) and flooring in certain rooms (2004) were changed.  She made the effort to keep everything in original condition.  In 2006, she remarried and moved to her present residence in Kershaw County, PowderKegg Wildlife Preserve.  Having retired, she is now offering this beautiful estate to the right prospective owner that appreciates such a wonderful place.


Caution:  Only Pre-qualified allowed
Note:  Due to 'Pointe Lookout' being the home of her young sons during their growing years, Owner needs at least 30 days after closing to move furnishings in order to allow new owner possession of property.   Please note this on any contract to buy!
