Zante Plantation was a historic plantation house located near Fort Motte, Calhoun County, South Carolina. It was built about 1815, and is a 2+12-story frame structure with Federal details. It has a stucco-over-brick foundation approximately 7 feet (2.1 m) high. Both front and rear facades have one-story porches. Several original outbuildings remain on the property. Zante has been the home of several prominent South Carolinians, its history reaching as far back as the late-18th century.[2][3]

It was in severe disrepair due to neglect and vandalism and was demolished in 2016. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[1]
