The late afternoon sunset reflects over a retention pond February 17, 2012, on the property at Medway Plantation in Goose Creek, S.C. The plantation contains 6728 acres of land and is staffed by 7 full-time employees. Upkeep on the property can run as high as $500,000 a year. In the South Carolina Lowcountry, more than a half-dozen antebellum plantations, which don't change hands often, are for sale.REUTERS/Randall Hill
