Timber investment and recreational acreage minutes from Broad River
115 acres
Lot
What sets the Buckhead Road Tract apart is its scale and the quality of the stand: 115 contiguous acres of primarily planted pine—about nine years old—laid out with an internal road system that makes the property immediately accessible for management, hunting, or recreational use. The pine rows are complemented by residual upland hardwoods lining natural drains, creating cover and travel corridors for wildlife and adding diversity across gently varied topography. Extensive frontage along Buckhead Road gives convenient entry points and excellent visibility for a rural tract.
This is a working piece of land ready for a timber-management plan, recreational pursuits, or a private country homestead. The RD-1 (Rural Development) zoning supports forestry, agriculture, single-family residential use and recreation, offering multiple threads of value: timber growth, hunting and outdoor activities, and the flexibility to site a cabin or primary residence subject to permitting and utilities. The listing price of $517,500 equals roughly $4,500 per acre; county records show a prior recorded sale in 2022 at $228,000 and a county-assessed land value of $38,400 (2024). Annual property tax for 2024 was $19.
From a lifestyle perspective, the property balances privacy with access. Broad River is roughly 2 miles away for fishing and boating; Sumter National Forest and wider trail networks are within about 10 miles, and Lake Monticello sits near 15 miles for additional water recreation. Winnsboro (groceries, dining, services) is a 20-minute drive, while Columbia is about 45–50 minutes and Charlotte roughly 1 hour 15 minutes—close enough for city amenities without losing the rural setting.
Practical next steps for buyers: a professional timber cruise to quantify standing volume and value, verification of utility availability/capacity, and an environmental review for wetlands or protected habitats. The property is vacant with no structures; the existing internal roads and the mix of pine and hardwood draws make it an attractive candidate for investors, hunters, or families seeking a long-term timber asset with recreational payoff. This tract is being marketed as a multi-purpose investment—timber growth today, recreational use now, and development potential under RD-1 zoning for the future.
This part of Fairfield County is characterized by rolling timberland, hardwood drains and a patchwork of small farms and residential tracts. Life here is rural and outdoor-focused: neighbors value hunting, fishing, and the quiet of country living. Winnsboro serves as the closest service hub—groceries, hardware, restaurants and local events—while Columbia and Charlotte are reachable for larger employers, specialist healthcare, and air travel. Proximity to Broad River and Sumter National Forest makes the area popular with buyers seeking recreational access without long drives.
Fairfield County’s rural land market has shown steady interest from buyers seeking timber investments and recreational acreage. While granular metrics such as median sale price and inventory months for large tracts are not published locally, local trend notes and the property’s own transaction history point to appreciation: a recorded sale in 2022 at $228,000 contrasts with the current list price of $517,500, reflecting rising demand for timber and recreational parcels. Supply of well-managed, road-accessible timber tracts of this size is limited in the immediate area, which tends to compress marketing timeframes when properties are priced in line with timber and location value.
For this property type—timberland and recreational land—buyers should expect a market that currently favors sellers who present verified timber data and clear access. Days-on-market and inventory levels for large rural tracts are variable and not always publicly reported; therefore, presenting a timber cruise, clear boundary lines, and a documented access plan will materially increase buyer confidence. Given the tract’s proximity to Broad River and Sumter National Forest, recreational demand also supports value. Interested parties should perform a timber cruise and due diligence on utilities, wetlands, and zoning to capitalize on present market momentum.
