Patricia Altschul Surprises Fans By Selling Her Iconic Home To A Familiar Face For An Astonishing Price – Discover The Details Of This Multi-Million Dollar Property

Patricia Altschul is no longer the owner of her iconic Charleston house — but the Southern Charm matriarch isn’t packing any moving boxes. 

On Season 10, Episode 4 of Southern Charm, Patricia sat down with Whitney Sudler-Smith in their living room to go over some house-related topics. “Since you now own all of this, I have things for you to be responsible for,” Patricia told her son. 

In a confessional during the January 2 episode, Patricia explained how Whitney came to take over ownership of the house.

“Several years ago, we had a meeting with our lawyers and estate planners and money manager,” she said. “And they said when I kick the bucket, Whitney is gonna have to pay, I don’t know, 46 percent in death duty [inheritance taxes]. Something extraordinary.”

“The house is now worth, I don’t know, $15,000,000 or something,” she continued. “So we decided that Whitney should buy the house from me and put it in his own trust.”
