KIRKFIELD - Hunting and Equestrian Eastate

Kirkfield is a part of the plantation neighborhood on the Combahee River in the ACE Basin. The Basin is one of the largest undeveloped estuaries on the Atlantic coast and teems with wildlife. It is in a major migratory bird flyway and offers superb hunting, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, photography and many other outdoor activities. Kirkfield is on River Road, a beautiful 9-mile stretch through historic plantations and the US National Wildlife Refuge. Plantations along the road include Nemours, Parkers Ferry, Bonny Hall, Hobonney, Temotely, Old Combahee and Auldbrass. The property is surrounded by thousands of protected acres managed for wildlife including the 9000-acre Nemoirs Plantation and the 5000-acre Ace Basin National Wilife Refuge owned by the US Fish and Wildlife Service.

Waterfowl Impoundments:

Historic Rice impoundments have been completely renovated with an advisory plan provided by Ducks Unlimited. The improvements included a rehabilitation of all dikes, new trunks and water control structures, clearing canals & ditches and installation of a high-volumes pump with dedicated electric line. Additionally, the original water flow from the Combahee river was restored by removing a damn on the canal from the adjoining federal duck refuge. There are several custom-built duck blinds which can be moved throughout the impoundments and are large enough for three hunters each.

Woodlands contain habitat for deer and turkeys and managed for released quail hunting.

There are 65 acres in the duck impoundments. The balance of the property is in upland hunting lands, horse facilities and pasture, and the house grounds.

The property is protected by a conservation easement with The Wetlands America Trust/Ducks Unlimited.

Kirkfield is 51 miles from Charleston, 60 miles from Hilton head, 56 miles from Savannah and 20 miles from
