Pool Rock Plantation, historic plantation house near Williamsboro, Vance County, North Carolina, United States

Pool Rock Plantation is a house in Vance County, North Carolina, recognized on the National Register of Historic Places. The structure consists of two main sections: an older portion built around 1757 with Federal style features and a newer Italianate addition from around 1855, connected by a two-story hallway with a small office building nearby.

James Mitchell, an immigrant from Lunenburg County, Virginia, built the older rear section in 1757. About 1855 a more ornate Italianate section attributed to builder Jacob W. Holt (1811–1880) was added. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.

The house takes its name from Pool Rock, the granite outcrop on the property that gave the plantation its name. The 1759 wedding of Amy Mitchell and Michael Satterwhite, held in the older section, shows the house served as a family and community gathering place, not only a residence.

Pool Rock Plantation stands near Williamsboro in rural Vance County, reached by country roads off the route between Williamsboro and Henderson. The property is private, so visitors view the two-story frame sections and the one-story hip-roof office from the road; there is no public entrance or tour.

The 1759 wedding of Amy Mitchell and Michael Satterwhite took place inside the house her father James Mitchell had built two years earlier. The ceremony is the earliest recorded event at Pool Rock and ties the building to the Satterwhite family, who remained in the area.
