TURKEY BRANCH

488 ACRES

CALHOUN COUNTY, SC 

Location:This wonderfully diverse timber and recreational opportunity lies less than 30 miles south of South Carolina’s state capital Columbia, SC, 18 miles north of Orangeburg and 14 miles west of Calhoun County’s seat, St Matthews and only 7 miles from I-26. The property fronts over two miles along Dearborn Road (paved) and Sturkie Road (dirt) in a quiet yet not remote part of Calhoun County 

Description:The majority of this wonderfully rolling land is wooded with merchantable pine and hardwood timber. Approximately one third of the property is planted in various ages and varieties of merchantable pine plantation. Included in the balance of the wooded acreage are natural pine/hardwood mix areas and hardwood areas with tremendous hardwoods along the drain areas. There is some 50 acres of cultivated land some of which is planted in peanuts for crop year 2010. Turkey Branch forms most of the southern boundary. This area is heavily wooded and has a 10-15 acre beaver pond along the property line. The southernmost line of Turkey Branch runs into a large pond at the property line knows as Hair or Layseth Millpond locally. A smaller pond located within the interior of the property is approximately 2 acres in size but needs some improvement. Cowpen Swamp loaded with large hardwood timber runs through the property with tremendous 75 ft. bluffs along the eastern rim of this area. This area provides the opportunity for the construction of a large lake with tremendous depth in places.    

Comments:What a great property for investment close to the Interstate and Columbia, SC. The property is a “natural” for wildlife and timber production. Extensive road frontage would make the property easy to divide as the future dictates. Merchantable timber provides immediate or future income streams. A large lake constructed near the property’s center would provide recreation and sunset vistas along a tremendous bluff overlooking the lake. Plenty of hunting is available with virtually no management needed.
