About the property

Updated Ranch on 4 Acres with Major Systems Replaced

The first thing you notice at 444 L J Rd is the scale of the parcel — a full four acres of level land with frontage on L J Rd, offering space, privacy, and quiet country views without sacrificing access to nearby towns. This single-story ranch sits comfortably mid-lot, framed by a new shingled roof and fresh vinyl siding installed during a recent, comprehensive renovation. The combination of acreage and updated exterior systems makes this a rare find for buyers seeking immediate usability and future options for gardening, small-scale agriculture, or room to add an outbuilding.

Inside, the home’s 1,674 square feet are arranged for easy everyday living. The layout delivers three bedrooms and two full baths, now grounded with new vinyl plank flooring that runs through the main living areas. Major systems were replaced prior to listing: an engineered foundation was installed, the HVAC and ductwork were fully updated, crawl-space insulation added, and a new septic system brings important peace-of-mind. With central AC and central electric heat, the house is set up for comfortable year-round living while reducing near-term maintenance needs.

Practical features are everywhere — a two-car attached garage plus driveway parking for several vehicles, public water service, and a rural zoning classification (FA) that allows single-family residential and multiple agricultural uses. The property’s level topography and utility access simplify the logistics of future improvements or hobby farming projects. For families, the address falls within the Aynor School District; local ratings show strong performance at the elementary and high school levels.

Location blends rural calm with convenience: downtown Aynor sits about three miles away, Conway is roughly seven miles, and major connectors (Highways 501 and 22) make the Grand Strand and Myrtle Beach reachable for weekend outings. Listed at $349,000 (approximately $208 per square foot), the home sits competitively within a market that has seen strong year-over-year appreciation. Whether you’re buying for a move-in-ready home with acreage or positioning for future upside, this updated ranch delivers a low-maintenance, versatile platform in a quietly growing pocket of Horry County. Schedule a showing to walk the land and experience how the recent renovations translate to everyday comfort and long-term value.

Editorial market perspective

Galivants Ferry and the surrounding corridor sit at an interesting inflection: strong appreciation paired with a measured sales tempo. As of February 2025 the local median sale price rose 59.1% year-over-year, signaling significant demand or constrained inventory relative to the previous year. At the same time, average days on market in the area run about 122 days — longer than rapid urban markets but consistent with rural properties that attract the right buyer rather than multiple bids immediately. Single-family homes, particularly updated move-in-ready ranches on acreage, tend to hold strong buyer interest here because of limited comparable large-lot inventory and attractive school district ratings (notably Aynor Elementary and High School).

For buyers, the environment means opportunity: homes in good condition with recent system replacements can close more efficiently and avoid protracted negotiation over repairs. For sellers, realistic pricing and visible upgrades remain essential given the moderately paced absorption (122 DOM). Comparable sales within one mile suggest a fair market range around $330K–$370K for similar properties; this listing’s $349K price is aligned with those indicators and reflects the recent foundation, roof, HVAC, and septic investments. Overall, this is a market where due diligence on lot boundaries and system documentation pays off — well-maintained properties continue to outperform when presented cleanly to the market.
