Longwood Plantation

     For over three centuries, an unusual round hill in the Lowcountry of South Carolina has carried the name "Pompion Hill." The spectacular view it provides of the sparkling waters of the East Branch of the Cooper River captured the hearts of a wealthy French Huguenot and his family in the 1600s. Today, Pompion Hill is part of Longwood Plantation, and remains much the same as when Pierre de St. Julien de Malacare fell in love with the pristine property. Surrounded by verdant pastures and abundant wildlife, Pompion Hill overlooks its impressive neighbor Pompion Hill Chapel which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

     Today, Longwood Plantation embraces and preserves the rich history of Pompion Hill, while providing the opportunity for you to celebrate your important weddings and events. The 300 acre historic plantation, with glistening ponds and moss laden live oaks, is also a working polo estate with a regulation polo field.
