Mulberry

Mulberry Plantation is one of Berkeley County’s oldest and most iconic sites dating back to a land grant to Sir John Colleton in 1679.  In 1996, the Trust signed its very first conservation easement on South Mulberry! The main house (a.k.a. the “castle”) dates back to 1714 and is surrounded by majestic live oaks on a high bluff along the West Branch of the Cooper River. The South Mulberry house also overlooks the Cooper River being situated just beyond the property’s historic rice fields. The easements on Mulberry protect the property’s historic, scenic and natural resources in an area under intense threat of development.
