In the heart of South Carolina Horse Country, the gated equestrian community of Cottesmore offers an ideal setting to do what makes you happy. Relax on the veranda of your tree-lined estate; ride on miles of open bridle trails; take lessons from a world-class trainer; picnic under the shade of a centuries-old live oak tree; or head downtown for antiquing.
Nestled within the Cottesmore gates, you'll find stunning properties with serene open rolling hills, groves of ancient live oaks, pecan and mulberry trees, and miles of tree-canopied riding trails. With wide open spaces and tranquil landscapes, this private community allows each resident to enjoy the easy-going, yet luxurious lifestyle that high society ladies, southern aristocrats and prominent equestrians have cherished since the 1800's.
It's simple, at Cottesmore you can enjoy horses as little or as much as you like. Embark on a leisurely trail ride; ride with a world-class trainer; feast with friends at a Carolina Cup tailgate; visit the steeplechase museum or soak in the ambiance from your porch swing.
