Brigadier General Peter Horry was a South Carolina planter who joined Francis “Swamp Fox” Marion in a campaign of guerilla warfare against British troops during the Revolutionary War. He fought at the Battle of Fort Moultrie and commanded a light horse regiment at the Battle of Quinby Bridge. After the war, he retired to his spectacular plantation, Dover, and served in South Carolina’s Senate and House of Representatives. Located on South Carolina’s Winyah Bay, the historic property has now been listed for sale at $14.75 million.
The 7,910-square-foot home features intricate wooden moldings, a Vermont slate roof, and an exquisite two-story entry hall. Five bedrooms are joined by impressive entertaining spaces, including an expansive kitchen and a dining room enhanced by built-in china cabinetry, plus a handsome gun room, a temperature-controlled wine cellar, and a widow’s walk that offers birds-eye views of Dover and out to the Winyah Bay.
