Rip Raps Plantation, Historic plantation building in Sumter County, United States.

Rip Raps Plantation is a two-story frame residence featuring twin facades in Greek Revival style, each with a full-width columned porch supported by six paneled piers. The main house sits on a property with several outbuildings that make up the complete historic complex.

The land was granted to Peter Mellette in the 1750s and later bought by James McBride Dabbs's great-grandfather; the frame house dates from 1858. Dabbs (1896–1970), an author and civil rights advocate, lived there, and the property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. It passed to his wife Edith Mitchell Dabbs, then to their son Richard W. Dabbs (1945–2022), and in 2022 to his children Samuel, Sophie and Nathan Dabbs.

Four original outbuildings remain on the property, including a log smokehouse and carriage house that reflect traditional Southern construction practices. These structures offer insight into the daily operations and workings of a historic plantation estate.

The property is privately owned and not open to the public; the house and outbuildings stand on the grounds of a working estate near Sumter. Visitors should not enter without the owners' consent, and researchers should write ahead to the Dabbs family before planning a trip.

The main residence features symmetrical design with identical front and rear facades, an uncommon approach in plantation homes of that period. This mirror-image styling creates an unusual architectural feature that distinguishes the house from other Southern estates of the same era.
