Brick Ranch on 6.1 Acres — Updated Systems & Storage
This solid brick ranch sits quietly on 6.1 acres just outside Lamar and offers practical, well-maintained country living within a short drive of Florence. The single-story layout includes three bedrooms and 1.5 baths across approximately 1,250 square feet — an efficient footprint that pairs easily with the outdoors-focused lifestyle this lot enables. Recent major updates reduce near-term maintenance: a new roof (2020), central HVAC (2021), and both the water heater and septic system were replaced in 2022. Appliances are newer and will convey with the property.
Rooms flow simply and functionally. Flooring is a mix of carpet and vinyl that’s been maintained for everyday use. The property includes a custom 12' x 16' storage building ideal for lawn equipment or hobby gear, plus a metal carport and ample driveway parking. The house is brick — durable and low-maintenance — and the parcel’s combination of cleared yard and wooded acreage offers privacy, recreation, and room for gardens, animals, or future accessory projects (confirm with county permitting).
This offering is appealing to buyers who want a move-in-ready structure with the upside and flexibility of acreage: keep as-is and occupy, perform modest cosmetic updates to increase resale value, or market to buyers seeking land close to Florence employment and services. The property is comprised of three adjoining parcels, which creates options for dividing or simply preserving privacy — check Darlington County zoning and parcel split rules if considering redevelopment.
Practical advantages include turnkey systems, included appliances, and a competitive list price of $200,000 for a brick ranch on 6+ acres. Showings by appointment — bring clients who want a functional country home with important mechanical work already addressed.

A factual market snapshot around Bay Branch Rd.
Darlington County and the Florence MSA represent one of the more affordable submarkets in eastern South Carolina. Inventory has been moderate; buyers seeking acreage find limited supply, which supports steady demand for well-maintained homes on multiple acres. Median sale prices in the immediate area typically sit below regional urban centers, making this property attractive to buyer groups who need space or want an affordable primary residence near Florence. Expect buyers to respond to the recent system replacements (roof, HVAC, septic), which materially reduce near-term risk and can shorten time on market compared with comparable homes that need mechanical work.
Likely rural residential / agricultural zoning permitting single-family dwellings; property is comprised of multiple adjoining parcels and used as residential acreage.
