I was the first person to purchase property here in 1995 in what is known as Moultrie Plantation. This is a private property community with its own private dirt road. The plantation is rich in Civil War history and people still find arrowhead 's, Civil war buttons and other Civil War related items on the dirt roads where the soldiers marched through the plantation. It is a quiet, peaceful neighborhood where owners enjoy the country life.

Whippoorwill Farms SC is a 40 acre, regenerative working farm, where our main income comes from the sale of our meat, egg and vegetable products direct to consumer at local farmers markets, through our subscription service and at local restaurants!
We love opening up our farm for people to experience what farm life is like in a beautiful, wooded setting.
After moving our farm here to this land in October of 2019, we began the slow process of regenerating the land through the use of heritage animal species and permaculture. We have made a lot of progress on our property since then, and we continue daily to work to regenerate our little slice of land!
Walk our property and the see hundreds of pigs, thousands of chickens (we have the most chickens between March-December), cows and our two horses, Whiskey and Willow. Our livestock roam amongst the trees and forage in their natural environment. If you love nature and regenerative agriculture, you'll love exploring our farm and all we have to offer!

Looking for originality? You found it. Why buy a home when you can build a fairy-tale?
Hi, I'm Curt. My wife Ani, son Fitch, and I are average, everyday nonconformists who have been running an experiment.
We'd noticed as we evolved that we felt generally unfulfilled by the direction society had gone. That our biology and our brain's wiring just didn't naturally mesh when forced to blend with the masses. We had come to learn that we are far from alone, and that made us feel a little less weird.
Still, we thought the answer called for more, maybe even drastic action if we could muster the courage. We were thinking a full retreat and redesign, but had very little resources.
Can a family use their own minds and hands, with some grit, to handcraft a home and life that felt right? That they didn't even want to vacation from? I don't know, but we decided to try. We still are. Have we done it? You be the judge.
In 2019 right before the pandemic, we left our Miami handcrafted furniture business to pursue this new goal. A project in practicality and passion. We set out to build an inspiring experience in simple, eco-friendly living and find a harmony between the helpful aspects of the modern world and the good parts of the old, that maybe society should have held tight to. We wanted to play with this idea...all while keeping it classy ;-)
At Heirloom Hamlet, you will see us designing unique, functional cottages, using solar energy, composting organics, sewing and reaping, in a way that is fair to our environment. We're bread baking, pasta making, timber milling, woodworking, clay-forming and metal pounding. The goal is to evolve into a small world of self-reliance and harmony with nature.
Through good design, our goal is to show just how "normal" slow, simple living can feel. We all have personal priorities, and those will vary greatly. But within that, we can all include ways of being respectfully mindful to the earth and to our neighbors.
Visiting with us, we sure hope our guests don't expect to find a corporate approach to life here, that they can appreciate our perspectives and some of our old-fashioned ways. Our presentation at Heirloom Hamlet has been purposefully designed to be a refreshing hideaway from the norm.
Please Note: Because our land is adjacent to a forest and features a natural,
undeveloped landscape—including local wildlife, insects, and natural terrain—we want to ensure everyone understands their responsibilities for staying here, before booking.
Personal Responsibility: You take full and complete responsibility for yourself, your guests, your vehicle(s), and your leashed pet(s) in every way while on the premises.
Insurance: You are solely responsible for carrying my own personal, vehicle, and pet insurance to whatever degree you deem necessary.
Release of Liability: You agree not to hold the property owners responsible in any way for any accident, injury, loss, damage, or incident of any kind that may occur to yourself, your guests, your property, your vehicle, or your pets while on the land.
Lawful Conduct: This acknowledgement applies to all non-criminal matters and standard risks associated with occupying a natural, outdoor environment.

Ian's background is in art, public education, and exploring the outdoors. Growing up in the Lowcountry of South Carolina allowed for endless opportunities to explore and foster an appreciation for the outdoors. It is the peace and tranquility of the wetlands, and the time spent with family and friends in these unique ecosystems, that always brought me comfort and wonder. It was in June of 2019 that dreams of having my name attached to land became a reality. Since the contract was signed; family, friends, and I have been developing the property and programming classes and adventures to share with those who seek them. We have developed several unique sites to share with you and will continue to improve as we foster our partnership with the land and share its bounty.

Hidden gem! The most luxurious camp site to unwind under the stars. This is camping in style. A gazebo with plush couch and pillows a fan and streaming tv Roku free live tv too. Open air shower and beautiful air condition 5 star bathroom and laundry. Sitting in Adirondack chairs in front of a fire with stars above and a water fountain below and through the palm trees. Not to mention the hot tub. I travel for work and it was a great spot 40 minutes from downtown Charleston SC. Only 2 RV/camp site and an amazing cabin. The owner has made this place to remember and a place I will continue to come back to as often as my work allows. I don’t like sharing especially if I have found a special place to unwind, relax a 5 star resort but I just could not keep this place to myself. Thank you Dustin I will continue to come back all year long. Maybe even bring a co-worker next time.

We love staying here. This is the second time staying here in our 35 ft travel trailer. The hosts are very responsive and kind.
It was a nice area for our 2 golden retrievers to be off leash (though their time outdoors was limited due to the heat and humidity).
We were able to get to everything we wanted to do very quickly including the Spanish Moss Trail, Hunting Island, Cypress Wetlands, Penn Center, Sands Beach, many trips to Historic Beaufort, and a day trip to Bluffton.
We had a great week and would definitely stay here again if we return to the area.

The hosts were amazing! Very friendly, welcoming and especially supportive of my dog Reece. Montana showed me my spot and all of the necessary equipment and accessories!! The shore was really hot which was surprising (don’t sleep on that outdoor show)! I think Reece enjoyed this spot more than I did! I love the idea that the property was fully enclosed which allowed Reece the freedom to roam the entire property!!! I visited several places in the area and I must this place has a lot of hidden gems and interesting history. If you book this property you will not be disappointed! Hurry and book because if you don’t, I will!!!
