The grand two-story plantation home of Mr. & Mrs. Allen Stevens once stood at this site on the Medway River. All that remain are a few outbuildings. I’m not sure when the house was built. I got the impression from the present owner, Allen Fillingame, that the site was never a working plantation in the historic sense and wasn’t even built until the late 1950s.

From just inside the arched entryway there’s a nice view of the Medway River.

A beached boat, as well as a sunken barge, rest just off the property.

The entrance was quite elaborate, among the most ornamental on the coast.

The two enclosed terraces were once filled with oleander, surely a fantastic site when they were in full bloom.

The view of the river harkens to a time of much grander properties, more akin to those on the Mississippi River than the Georgia coast.

The front steps are all that remain of the main house.

A tractor is the only thing parked in the garage today.

A very nice kennel is located on the property, as well.

A brick smokehouse is also still standing.

This simple frame structure served as the plantation’s guest house.

Also on the property is a Cold War-era fallout/bomb shelter.

I was unable to go inside, as it was quite wet.
