Property Description
Land. Legacy. Lifestyle. This incredible retreat was born from a deep-seated love of horses, hunting, and the natural world. Serving as a cherished seasonal refuge, offering a secluded escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this elegant property is now available. Discover the tranquil retreat of Estancia Wiggins, a sprawling sporting estate situated in the serene Lowcountry hamlet of Ehrhardt, South Carolina. The harmonious blend of old-world tradition with modern conveniences reflects the owners' passion for the design and architecture of Argentina. Standing proudly amid 83 +/- acres, this property offers a multitude of opportunities for the sporting equestrian to indulge their passions. Polo, jumping, dressage, combined driving or any Western discipline will be effortless here. The exquisite home is a testament to the owners' unwavering dedication to authentic Argentine design. Every detail has been meticulously curated, from the imported tile floors to the seamless blend of antique and modern furnishings. Whether hosting a grand soirée or seeking a tranquil evening next to one of your four fireplaces, this home balances sophistication with comfort, making it the ultimate destination for luxurious living. No expense was spared in construction or design. The custom cabinetry was skillfully crafted by local artisans, while the rafters and mantles were carefully selected and imported from afar. Meticulous attention to detail is evident in every corner of the house. Cultivated and natural landscaping surrounds the Estancia, offering sweeping views for your viewing and riding pleasure. Seven four-board fenced paddocks, each equipped with Ritchie automatic waterers, are located on the property. For training days, a round pen and multiple ideal areas for schooling await you including a full stick and ball field. Among the numerous outbuildings are the owners' tack room, complete with a luxurious kitchenette; a six-stall rustic Argentine-style polo barn, and a five-run kennel that once housed the owners' private pack of fox hounds. The next jewel in the crown of this property is the main barn. Again, echoes of Argentina are woven into its design along with craftsmanship that pays homage to the property's locale. Custom-milled cypress and stall fronts blend seamlessly into the stucco design, with 4 12x12 stalls. The tack room of the main barn is built from heart pine and cypress wood, salvaged from ''the old Smith House'' that once stood on this property, and has custom-built bookshelves for all your reference material. On the property sits the current owner's art studio. The painter and sculptor has spent countless hours in this refurbished cookhouse, dreaming up and creating some of the works that that dot the property. Nestled in a far corner of the property is the Estancia Wiggins dancehall. Originally created to host outdoor parties or luncheons as guests took aim on the shooting course, modeled after one of Sea Island Resort's prestigious skeet courses, this versatile building is ready and waiting for your personal touches. Estancia Wiggins also has charming, peaceful abode fondly titled ''Fender Cottage.'' This cottage, original to the property, has been lovingly restored to retain its ''Old South'' feel. It boasts a sitting room, a quaint kitchen, two bedrooms, and a well-appointed bathroom, making it an ideal retreat for guests. There are still others, including a caretaker's cottage and private chapel. The current owners have poured their hearts into this property and hope that the next steward of this land will appreciate its rich history and legacy of equestrianism and sporting lifestyle. This idyllic setting is a true haven for anyone who loves the outdoors and the lifestyle it offers. It must be seen to be truly appreciated. A complete set of photos, videos & drone coming soon.

HUD Foreclosures

HUD foreclosures and VA Foreclosures are some of the best homes to buy when price is part of the equation. As with most Americans, price is always a concern. If not buying the same house for less, why not buy more house for the same dollar invested? When looking for a good deal it is hard to do better than the VA or HUD foreclosures market. The simple truth is that there are just more VA and HUD homes on the market, as they represent such a large number of mortgages that are generated each year. This translates into more foreclosures just by the magnitude of difference between all others comparing to the two largest. The two largest also being government owned and operated means that they have less time to wait to make money back on the home. The FHA is especially known for selling HUD homes for less than the average sales price in a given area. FHA foreclosures represent a fraction of HUD but they are still a significant number of homes and both should be considered. VA (Veterans Administration) and HUD (Housing and Urban Development) have different and unique opportunities for the buyer. Both are often forgiven for the local taxes normally associated with the purchase of a home (this is on a county by county basis). Be sure to ask the local title company or escrow company to look into it for you before closing as this is often missed due to their are not used to dealing with the 2 to 3 percent of the market that VA and HUD foreclosures represent.

Foreclosure Listings Increasing

As the market settled after the mortgage meltdown foreclosure listings also settled and fewer homes were on the market with a placard reading “Bank Foreclosure” in big red lettering. This was a good thing for the entire real estate market. Having an abundance of foreclosures brings the entire market down and it makes it harder for home owners, who would like to move, to get the appropriate price for their home as a similar home down the same street was sold for substantially less and the appraiser is using the foreclosure as a comparable sale. This is just one of the problems when there are too many foreclosure listings in any area. Another issue is the television set that sits in everyone’s living room harping about the price of homes based on the number of foreclosures and this constant barrage of negative information makes most people sit on the sidelines waiting for the market to either implode completely or to correct itself. Meanwhile while they wait, others are buying foreclosure listings and making great investments. Whatever the reason, a market can only handle so many foreclosure listings at any given time. The more foreclosures, the lower the market gets and this is a lesson the banks that were foreclosing and selling off realized too late. The market and their investments would have been better off if there had not been a rush to divest themselves of the toxic assets made more toxic by their own actions.
