About the property

Energy-Smart 3BR Ranch with Paid-Off Solar and Screened Porches

The most immediately striking feature of 5307 Shorthorn Way is its paid-off solar system with an eight-hour power storage capability — a rare homeowner benefit that reduces monthly costs and keeps the lights on during outages. Step inside this well-maintained 2019 ranch and the single-level layout reveals 1,776 square feet of comfortable, updated living: wide hardwood floors, plantation shutters, and an upgraded kitchen featuring granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. Flow from the kitchen to an expanded patio deck and a screened back porch that adds usable outdoor living regardless of the weather.

Details that matter were added with intention: tiled front and back porches, enhanced irrigation for the landscaped yard, and a fenced backyard that provides privacy and safe play space. The interior shows crisp, contemporary finishes — thoughtful trim work, neutral paint, and an easy-care footprint that suits families, downsizers, and long-term investors alike. The two-car attached garage plus driveway parking keep everyday life simple.

Living here puts you inside The Farm at Timberlake lifestyle: two community pools, a fitness room, an indoor pickleball court, playgrounds, and a large freshwater lake for fishing. Proximity to Surfside Beach (about 5 miles) and the Murrells Inlet MarshWalk (approx. 6 miles) gives you quick access to the coast, local dining, and weekend recreation while the Market Common lies a short drive away for shopping and cultural options.

From an ownership perspective this home combines energy efficiency and modern upgrades with a strong neighborhood track record. Built in 2019 and maintained in excellent condition, it represents a low-maintenance choice with attractive utility savings thanks to solar. Whether you’re seeking a family residence in a top-rated St. James school district community or a rental-ready asset with solid demand, this ranch delivers practicality, comfort, and location. Buyers should verify HOA guidelines and schedule inspections for roof and HVAC, but the tangible upgrades and paid-off solar make this property stand out in today’s market.

Editorial market perspective

The local market around The Farm at Timberlake is effectively balanced but leans toward a seller’s advantage for well-presented single-family homes. Inventory sits at roughly 2.5 months — low enough to keep competition healthy for quality listings — and average days on market is near 35 days. Median sale prices in the area are around $450,000 with year-over-year appreciation modest at about 5% and five-year appreciation near 25%. Recent comps within the community sold in the $370K–$405K range but properties with upgrades and premium lots have pushed into the $450K–$490K bracket; our valuation midpoint for this home is $470,000.

Single-family homes in The Farm attract families and investors because of the community amenities, strong St. James schools, and proximity to beaches. Rental demand is solid — estimated monthly rent for comparable homes is about $2,200, yielding a gross rental return near 5.6% — which can appeal to investors seeking consistent cash flow. For buyer-strategists: low inventory and community desirability make this a good time to buy if you want a home with turnkey systems (paid solar, upgraded outdoor living) that will hold value and reduce operating costs. Buyers should still verify system ages and HOA restrictions during due diligence.
