Hortman has lived and worked on the property for 34 years and oversees the day-to-day operations and maintenance of the plantation. Medway Plantation has 6728 total acres of land with 50 miles of maintained roads. The main building was built in 1686 and is the oldest brick structure in South Carolina. In the South Carolina Lowcountry, more than a half-dozen antebellum plantations, which don't change hands often, are for sale. REUTERS/Randall Hill
