Welcome to High Hampton

 
After remaining untouched for centuries, the Cashiers Valley was first settled in the 1820s. Wade Hampton III first moved to the area after purchasing property from the family of one of the earliest settlers in 1855. Hampton used the Valley as his summer home for many years, including during his service as Governor of South Carolina, United States Senator, and U. S. Railroad Commissioner.
 
After Hampton’s passing in 1902, his niece Caroline Halsted and husband William moved to the estate. Dr. Halsted was the premiere surgeon in the country and used the valley as a place to rest and relax. They named the estate High Hampton, in honor of Caroline’s uncle. Upon Halsted’s passing, their heirs sold the estate to a group led by E. Lyndon McKee. An industrialist and entrepreneur, McKee transformed the estate into a summer resort.
 
High Hampton Inn & Country Club, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, has operated since 1922 as a rustic and elegant mountain inn. This 1,400-acre estate includes an Inn and an 18-hole George W. Cobb-designed golf course. In 2017 the McKee family sold High Hampton to Daniel Communities on behalf of Arlington Family Offices. In 2020, the new owners along with the Beall family (co-founders of Blackberry Farm and Blackberry Mountain), the historic property and golf course closed for renovations and the property reopened in late spring of 2021.
