Camelot Farms on St. Helena Island has announced that it has been purchased by Fripp Island Golf and Beach Resort and plans to add it to the list of amenities offered to resort guests and residents, and has issued a release via their Facebook page on Friday, May 5th.
After acquiring Fripp Island Golf & Beach Resort this January, Seascape Hospitality Group is pleased to announce the acquisition of Camelot Farms Equestrian Center, located on St Helena Island. Founders Joe Guerra and Adam Fuller led the acquisition on behalf of Seascape Hospitality Group and will manage the operations of the property moving forward through their management company.
The 58 acre Equestrian Center was purchased for $1.9 million, according to the listing on the Jon Kohler & Associates website.
Camelot Farms Equestrian Center’s services and riding excursions will be a fantastic new amenity for Fripp Island Resort visitors and residents, while remaining open to the public.
Mark and Anne Kennedy founded Camelot Farms Equestrian Center in 1999 after relocating from Atlanta, Georgia. The 62-acre horse farm with 54 horses is the finest equestrian facility in the area, bordering the marshes of the Atlantic Ocean.
Camelot Farms Equestrian Center is located on Saint Helena Island, between Dataw and Fripp Islands, only five miles from Hunting Island State Park. Like much of the Lowcountry, Saint Helena is an island full of history, beauty, and culture. We wish to promote and maintain this beautiful, agricultural way of life. The timeless beauty of winding roads draped with moss-covered trees makes a perfect setting, and Camelot Farms has been the scene of choice in many film and television productions.
Camelot Farms currently offers indoor and outdoor boarding, rider training, and trail rides – either on the plantation trail or down the beautiful coastline along the Saint Helena Sound. The coastline excursion is the only beach ride offered year-round in the greater area. All of Camelot’s trail rides provide a unique recreation opportunity for horse lovers, history buffs, and nature lovers alike. Featuring a wide variety of family and kid-friendly programming, Camelot Farms is an exciting addition to the robust services offered by Seascape Hospitality Group. Future plans for the Equestrian Center include upgrades to the barn and boarding facilities, enhancements to the property, and expanded educational and family programming.
“We’re excited to add Camelot Farms to strengthen our list of amenities offered here at Fripp Island Resort, while still being able to service the Beaufort area public,” said Fripp Island Resort General Manager Tom Frost.
“We are honored that Anne and Mark chose us to maintain their legacy on Saint Helena at Camelot Farms and are looking forward to an exciting future.”
