About 11241 Powell Road

This property announces itself at the edge of Oaks Plantation: a five-acre cedar-sided ranch that borders a 2,400-acre nature preserve and carries Blarney Creek along its rear boundary. The single-story, 2,400 sq ft home (built 1990) was configured for comfortable daily living and for entertaining — a 10-foot foyer leads into the living room with a working fireplace, and a large four-seasons garden room expands the living footprint and frames views of the partially wooded yard.

Interior appointments are straightforward and well-maintained: two bedrooms, two full baths, a dedicated dining room, pantry, separate laundry room, and a kitchen refreshed with new appliances. Recent mechanical upgrades include a full HVAC replacement with digital thermostats and all-new ductwork completed in 2025. The property’s long-term weather protection was addressed in 2017 with a new metal roof carrying a lifetime warranty.

The acreage reads as both purposeful and flexible. A 60-foot barn/garage/stable — concrete foundation, matching metal roof, and on-site power and water — provides obvious storage and workshop capability and space for equipment, vehicles or livestock. Several cabins in varying stages of finish add potential for guest housing, short-term rental income, or conversion into studio/workshop space. A private, graded 1,200-foot driveway surfaced with rock terminates at the house and barn, assuring privacy and all-weather access via a deeded 40-foot right-of-way.

Outdoor life here is the headline: the Oaks Plantation preserve is immediate, Santee River Boat Landing is one mile away, and the coastline is reachable by boat in roughly 15 minutes. The parcel sits at approximately 19 feet above sea level and is a practical rural base — utilities include well water, septic, propane heating and central cooling, and electric availability. Zoning is Forest Agriculture (FA), supporting single-family, agriculture and forestry uses. For buyers seeking a nature retreat, hobby farm, creative compound or a turnkey base for river access, 11241 Powell Road presents a rare combination of finished home, durable outbuildings and immediate preserve frontage.

Neighborhood & Location

This tract sits in southern Georgetown County where rural lanes meet large preserved woodlands. Neighbors are a mix of residential and agricultural parcels, and the Oaks Plantation Nature Preserve provides a feeling of wide open, protected landscape and abundant wildlife. Outdoor recreation dominates daily life here: river access for boating and fishing is nearby, while coastal beaches, historic downtown Georgetown and Pawleys Island remain an easy drive for dining and shopping. The area favors privacy, low-density living and a lifestyle oriented around nature and the water.

Market Insights

Georgetown County’s market for five-acre-plus properties is thin but steady; large-acreage homes near significant conservation land are scarce, which supports stronger pricing for parcels that combine livable improvements with recreational access. Public records and local sale comps are limited — nearby land sales in 2023 show undeveloped 4–5 acre tracts trading between roughly $69K and $80K, and a small residence on a 4-acre lot sold in 2018 for $115K — highlighting how improved estates command a substantial premium. Valuation modelling for this parcel estimates fair market value between $950,000 and $1,050,000 (midpoint $1,000,000), reflecting the combination of a 2,400 sq ft home, multiple auxiliary structures and preserve adjacency.

Because inventory for comparable rural estates is low, sellers with thoughtfully upgraded properties often encounter qualified buyers seeking privacy and outdoor amenities. Conversely, buyers should anticipate a longer search cycle for comparable alternatives, perform thorough due diligence on septic/well systems and additional structures, and consider financing nuances common to rural homes (programs like USDA or specialty rural lending may be appropriate). In short: this is a niche market where unique amenities drive value — limited supply favors sellers, but careful inspection and comparables-driven negotiation remain essential for buyers.
