52-Acre Black River Tract with Mature Timber and Trails
This 52-acre tract on Brewington Road commands attention the moment you pull onto paved frontage: a level, walkable landscape threaded with established trails and backed by direct frontage on the Black River. The property’s mature timber stands provide both privacy and potential income, while the river’s braided shoreline opens recurring opportunities for fishing, wildlife observation, and quiet boat access for small craft.
Walking the site reveals varied pockets of hardwoods and pines, long interior routes ideal for ATV access, and multiple vantage points looking toward the river. The topography is predominantly level, which simplifies ingress/egress, timber management, and potential placement for a weekend cabin or an off-grid retreat. Because access is via paved Brewington Road, the parcel feels immediately usable from day one for recreational purposes or for a managed timber program.
Located roughly 9 miles from downtown Manning and about 15 miles from Lake Marion, the acreage strikes a balance between solitude and convenience. Local highways connect to Sumter and the wider region, while the nearby Black River corridor is known for good fishing and abundant wildlife—attributes that make the tract especially attractive to hunters, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts.
From an investment perspective, comparable recreational tracts in Clarendon County show steady buyer interest. The current listing price of $304,500 aligns with sales evidence in the area and reflects the combined value of river frontage, timber resources, and immediate road access. Prospective buyers should verify zoning, utility availability, and floodplain status as part of due diligence—those items are pending confirmation.
Whether you’re pursuing a managed timber strategy, creating a private hunting and fishing preserve, or reserving the land for a minimalist riverfront compound, this Brewington Road parcel is a rare undeveloped piece of Clarendon County with practical access and year-round recreational value.
