Bellefield Plantation Complex
The Bellefield House Complex is about 1.25 mi (2.0 km) south of the main entrance. The house was design by Murgatroyd and Ogden of New York and built in 1936 with Lafaye and Lafaye of Columbia providing specifications. It is a two-story frame house with four single-story wings and a brick service wing to the rear. The house has a gabled roof. The house is built on a raised terrace with live oaks and pines. The chief landscape architect was Umberto Innocenti of New York and New Jersey.
The Bellefield Garage, also design by Murgatroyd and Ogden, had parking for four vehicles, a laundry, and two rooms for servants. The Bellefield Stable, which was considered essential by Belle, was designed by John D. W. Churchill of New York and built in 1937. The kennel for hunting dogs and the fowl coop are nearby.
The Bellefield Gatekeeper's House is about 0.3 mi (0.5 km) north of the Bellefield Complex. The Stable Cottage is about 0.15 mi (0.2 km) north of the stable. The Vereen house is about 0.3 mi (0.5 km) south of the Bellefield House on the site of the original Bellefield Plantation. The old Bellefield Kitchen Garden is near the Vereen House. The Hobcaw Barony Gate Cottage, design by Marie Glinn of New York, was built at the entry from Highway 17.
