Description

Listed on the National Register of Historic Landmarks, this plantation house sits amid steep hills and thick vegetation. The rustic plantation became the Lawaetz family homestead in the late 1800s and has changed little since that time.

Family heir Irene Lawaetz gives tours of the home and grounds. Various hiking trails are found on the grounds, and several species of birds can be spotted.
