Here's Where You Can Visit The House From Outer Banks
Want to live like a Kook? Fans of Netflix's "Outer Banks" are familiar with Sarah Cameron's stately Tanneyhill estate, located in a high-class neighborhood of the fictional Kildare County along North Carolina's Outer Banks. The 18th-century mansion used in the show is actually located in Charleston, South Carolina's historic neighborhood of Wagener Terrace. The estate is currently a multi-purpose event venue that sits on 14 acres along the picturesque Ashley River. According to AnyHome, the property was purchased by Patrick Properties in 2007 for approximately $6.5 million. Since then, the Patrick family has restored the estate into an enchanting event space with a current estimated worth of at least $12 million.
Known as Lowndes Grove, or The Grove, the original manor was destroyed following the British invasion of the Revolutionary War through Charleston, and the current structure was likely rebuilt around 1786. Distinguished on the National Register for Historic Places according to the estate's official website, the Georgian-style home consists of six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, with 6,800 square feet of living space. There's also a four-bedroom carriage house and a modern-looking three-bedroom groundskeeper's cottage that was included later. With many different owners over the years, including politician William Lowndes, the land has an extensive history, from the past, present, and even Hollywood, per South Carolina Plantations.
