The Orton Plantation house is an example of Classical Revival and Greek Revival architecture. The Plantation Gardens is a historic landscape designed around the 1735 mansion and colonial rice fields.

Some of the movies that feature scenes from Orton Plantation include Lolita, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, Hounddog, and A Walk to Remember. Television series that have filmed scenes at Orton Plantation include One Tree Hill, Dawson's Creek, and Matlock

Due to a change in ownership, Orton Plantation Gardens closed to the public in 2010 to begin renovations of the plantation home, gardens, and the necessary repair and restoration of the colonial rice fields. Owner, Louis Bacon, is currently supporting the restoration of Orton Plantations original long-leaf pine forest which will provide critical habitat for threatened species such as the red-cockaded woodpecker and many others,
