There are houses you admire for their finishes, and there are houses that make you picture what life might actually look like there. 25 Plantation Drive in Manning, South Carolina, is very much the latter.
Set along the water in the gated community of Wyboo Plantation, this four-bedroom, three-bath home offers something buyers around Lake Marion are often searching for: a comfortable, beautifully updated home paired with a lifestyle that makes the most of where you live.
Listed by Don Paquette with The Litchfield Company | Christie's International Real Estate, 25 Plantation Drive overlooks South Lake and includes access to a shared boat slip connecting you to Lake Marion. Add in a thoughtfully remodeled interior, a generous backyard, golf nearby, and sunsets over the water, and you have a property that feels distinctly at home in this part of South Carolina.
A Home Made for Lake Country Living
Life around Lake Marion has its own rhythm.
Mornings can begin quietly on the porch with a cup of coffee. Afternoons might mean heading out on the boat, playing a round of golf, or simply enjoying the backyard. And when evening settles in, there is something particularly special about watching the sun go down over the water.
That setting is one of the defining features of 25 Plantation Drive.
The home sits on approximately 0.65 acres overlooking South Lake, with a shared boat slip providing access to Lake Marion. For boaters, anglers, or anyone who simply enjoys being near the water, that connection is a considerable part of the property's appeal.
The backyard offers plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors without feeling overly formal. Newer landscaping and sod add to the curb appeal, while the renovated screened porch and rear deck provide natural gathering places for everything from quiet mornings to supper with friends.
It is easy to imagine a pitcher of sweet tea on the porch, something on the grill, and nowhere in particular you need to be.
Completely Remodeled With Comfort in Mind
Built in 2001, the brick home offers 2,401 square feet with four bedrooms and three full bathrooms, but much of what buyers see today is the result of extensive renovations completed in recent years.
A substantial remodel in 2023 touched nearly every part of the home. The kitchen was completely renovated, both first-floor bathrooms were remodeled, and a third bathroom was added upstairs. New flooring was installed throughout, walls and ceilings were refinished, interior doors were replaced with solid wood doors, and new appliances were added.
The finished room above the garage was also remodeled and given its own HVAC system, creating useful additional space that can adapt to the needs of its next owner.
Throughout the home, details such as the gas-log fireplace, built-in wall, tankless water heater, vaulted and smooth ceilings, kitchen island, and walk-in closets add both character and everyday convenience.
The result is a home that feels established without feeling dated.
The Kind of Kitchen People Gather Around
In a Southern home, the kitchen has a way of becoming the center of things whether you intend for it to or not.
At 25 Plantation Drive, the renovated kitchen fits comfortably into that role. With an island, updated appliances, and a fresh redesign completed as part of the 2023 renovation, it provides a welcoming space for both everyday meals and entertaining.
The adjoining living spaces carry that same sense of comfort. A gas-log fireplace anchors the great room, while the home's open, airy features and natural light help create spaces that feel relaxed rather than overly formal.
It is polished enough for company, but comfortable enough for Tuesday night supper—which may be the better test of a good house anyway.
Don't Overlook the Porch
If you have spent much time in South Carolina, you already know the porch deserves its own mention.
The screened porch at 25 Plantation Drive was completely renovated in 2024 with a tiled floor, while the rear deck received new Trex decking. Together, they extend the living space outdoors and make the most of the home's waterfront setting.
Screened porches are particularly well suited to lake living. They give you a comfortable place to enjoy a summer rainstorm, a mild fall afternoon, or those long South Carolina evenings when the light seems to linger just a little longer.
And here, the view makes it even better.
Life in Wyboo Plantation
Of course, buying a home in Wyboo Plantation is about more than the house itself.
This gated Manning community has long appealed to buyers looking for a quieter lifestyle with recreation close at hand. The Players Course winds through the community, with golf memberships available, while Wyboo Golf Club is located just across from the main entrance.
Community amenities offer even more ways to spend the day, including a community center with a library, fitness room, pool room, card room, large gathering hall and kitchen. Residents also have access to pickleball and tennis courts, a playground, horseshoe pits, kayak launch, and kayak storage.
That combination of water, golf, recreation, and community is a large part of what makes the Wyboo area distinctive.
You can spend the morning on the golf course, the afternoon on Lake Marion, and still be home in time to watch the sunset from your own backyard.
Updates That Go Beyond the Pretty Things
Renovations are always appealing, but some of the most valuable improvements to a home are the ones that don't necessarily make the prettiest photographs.
In addition to its cosmetic updates, 25 Plantation Drive has benefited from several significant improvements in recent years. The upstairs HVAC system was installed in 2023, while the main HVAC system was replaced in 2025. The gas-log fireplace was installed in 2023, and the roof dates to 2017.
For buyers, those updates add an important practical element to a home that has already received considerable attention inside and out.
Why Buyers Are Drawn to the Lake Marion Area
Lake Marion is the largest lake in South Carolina, and for generations it has been a destination for fishing, boating, recreation, and slower weekends spent near the water.
For those who live here full time, though, it is simply part of everyday life.
Manning and the surrounding Clarendon County communities offer buyers an opportunity to enjoy that lake-country setting without giving up the conveniences needed for daily living. It's a part of South Carolina where neighbors still wave, golf carts aren't an unusual sight, and a day on the water doesn't have to require a vacation.
Properties such as 25 Plantation Drive bring several of those qualities together in one place: waterfront living, boating access, golf, a gated community, and a home that has already undergone extensive renovations.
Come See 25 Plantation Drive
A property can look beautiful in photographs, but waterfront homes are often best understood in person. You need to see how the house sits on the land, step onto the porch, look toward the water, and get a feel for the community around it.
25 Plantation Drive in Manning, SC offers four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, approximately 2,401 square feet, a 0.65-acre waterfront lot, and a shared boat slip with access to Lake Marion—all within Wyboo Plantation.
