Mackay Point Plantation, 6000 acres, was sold to two
partners of a private equity firm. This was a Janney family property, like
Gregorie Neck Plantation. After purchasing the property, the owners undertook a
complete rebuilding of all structures including the main house, a river house,
stables, kennels, manager’s house and a number of guest cottages. The Huffines
Company introduced the owners to the Lowcountry Open Land Trust, and helped
negotiate a conservation easement that protects the property from development
in perpetuity. The Huffines Company’s Managing Member founded the first Board
of the Lowcountry Open Land Trust, and today the trust has protected over 80,000
acres in 13 counties. Today, Mackay Point Plantation is one of the Huffines
Company’s management accounts.
