HollyOaks on the Marsh

Description

HollyOaks on the Marsh hosts 10 custom, luxury weddings per year along with limited corporate events and private parties. The Manor Home was built in 1941, and HollyOaks remains privately owned by people, not corporations. The owners enjoy hosting select clientele who appreciate the beauty and history of the Low Country. They seek to bring all people together in love and radiate joy.

The current owners purchased the estate in March 2018, and since that time, the entire home has been completely renovated. The crystal Swarovski chandelier in the formal dining room adds an opulent sparkle to dinner parties. Gorgeous finishes such as designer wallpaper, paint, and carpets have brought a modern touch while respectfully giving nod to the past. Custom furniture and furnishings create a grand but comfortable atmosphere.

The gardens have been reclaimed from the surrounding forest, bringing the heirloom camellia and azalea gardens back to full bloom. There are over 50 camellias on the estate. The abundant Live Oaks, the State Tree of Georgia, with gently swaying moss are admired far and wide. There are estimated to be over two dozen of them, and they are inspected annually by a professional arborist, many estimated to be over 200 years old with several being over 450 years old.

Lawns are carefully tended as well. The land management aspect of running an estate is important to the health of the gardens as well as the comfort of the resident family and guests. Insects are controlled with regular professional spraying regardless of season. Gardeners oversee the trimming and mowing, edging and blowing. Finally, professional lawn experts fertilize to keep the grass healthy and free from insects and pests.

​The estate is continuing to build into a working farm behind the scenes. Barns are currently being renovated for structural safety and beautification. The horses love the peaceful and pastoral paddocks, and the chickens produce the most delicious and healthy eggs from their organic care. There are plans for the additions of several other animal species so expect an ever evolving scene.
​We invite you to experience HollyOaks on the Marsh and enjoy our piece of paradise for your event.
