Arcadia Plantation, originally known as Prospect Hill Plantation, is a historic plantation home located near Georgetown, Georgetown County, South Carolina. The main portion of the house was built about 1794, as a two-story clapboard structure set upon a raised brick basement in the late-Georgian style. Two flanking wings were added in the early-20th century. A series of terraced gardens extend from the front of the house toward the Waccamaw River. Also on the property is a large two-story guest house (c. 1910), tennis courts, a bowling alley, stables, five tenant houses and a frame church. The property also contains two cemeteries and other plantation-related outbuildings.[2][3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]
