Agapae Oaks
Pristine Oaks and Orchards
Agapae Oaks embraces 150 dreamy acres of pristine marshlands, ponds and countless palmettos, cedars, pecans and moss-laden oaks. The spacious property centers around a prestigious and charming historic main house (c. 1790). Couples and their families and friends sprawl out among the roomy living and dining rooms, kitchen and den. Lodging is available for up to 20 guests, making Agapae the perfect weekend celebration destination.
Photographers swoon for the estate's spiral staircase connecting the expansive first and second floor hallways and the stately Southern home's gracious porch, classic white paneling and striking turquoise shutters framing symmetrical windows. Couples explore the grounds, floating over marshes and among rows of mature live oaks, a pecan orchard and numerous ponds. Ceremony locations include stunning waterfront meadow settings to intimate gatherings beneath mature Spanish moss-laden oaks.
An idyllic live-oak-lined driveway leads along an aged pecan orchard and freshwater ponds, wooded areas and fields while a dock leads out into the marsh in front of the main house. A barn, tabby silo and two smaller houses make for additional creative photo backdrops. Design a gorgeous covered or uncovered reception in front of the mansion or flowing out onto the grounds. Plenty of space for event tents and cocktail lounge decor abounds and pets are welcomed at Agapae Oaks.

Things To Do

Civil War sites and iconic plantations, Fort Sumter boat tours and horse-drawn carriage rides clacking down cobblestone streets offer a taste of the past while mile after mile of soft white-sand coastline delivers five beautiful beach enclaves, yachting, fishing and acclaimed golf courses. A walk down King Street unveils locally owned and high-end boutiques and the Saturday morning Marion Square farmers market is the place for local produce and artisan crafts.
