History of Dunes West
Wagner Creek, Toomer Creek, and the Wando River surround the area now known as Dunes West. The street names Col. Vanderhorst Circle and Pignatelli Crescent give a nod to the rich history of this land.
Established in 1696 as a land grant of 1,000 acres to the Bellinger family, originally from Westmoreland, England, the undeveloped land was sold to Major Alexander Parris in 1704. Parris sold the property to Captain John Vanderhorst, Joseph Vanderhorst, and Thomas Lynch in 1712. Captain Vanderhorst share was inherited by Arnoldus Vanderhorst who later left the land to Colonel Arnoldus Vanderhorst II who also owned much of Kiawah Island. Lexington Plantation, as it became known as in 1827, primarily produced bricks, but rice and cotton were also farmed on the property. The land continued to change hands several times.
At the end of the Civil War, the plantation home was in ruins, believed to be burned by Union soldiers. In 1930, America’s wealthiest woman, Henrietta Hartford, bought the plantation and built a 32-room home where the original estate once stood. She planted an avenue of oaks which is still there. Hartford hired Frederick Law Olmsted to design her garden. Olmsted is known for designing Central Park, the Biltmore Estate grounds, the area surrounding the US Capitol building in DC among other well known urban parks. Hartford later married the much younger Italian Prince Guido Pignatelli in 1937 and became Princess Henrietta Pignatelli.
In 1947 the land was later sold to OL
