The Flats Tract

Farm Description

The Flats Tract is an incomparable investment-grade property in eastern Fairfield County. Few properties can match the timber investment potential, conservation opportunities and recreational possibilities afforded by this 280-Acre natural masterpiece, and even fewer can do so within a 40-minute drive of Columbia, Sc.

The obvious pearl of the Flats Tract is the nearly 6,000 feet of frontage on the Dutchmans Creek. But look closely and you'll notice that the property's topography is just as unique. Rarely in the hills of the piedmont do you have the opportunity to disappear into the flat distance of a forest. The Flats Tract offers that and so much more. Old pastures have long given way to natural hardwoods but maintain their grasses in the shade. Mature pines and mature hardwoods provide the mature investor and hunter with a perfect media to hone their skills in stewardship. Almost 80 acres of beautiful natural hardwoods adorn Dutchmans Creek and combine with the carefully managed pines to host deer, turkey and quail. Wildlife is plentiful and largely undisturbed, making chance encounters frequent and enjoyably unpredictable. Almost 140 acres of 35-45-Year-Old merchantable pine plantations provide valuable upland habitat and immediate liquidity.

With a location that is both private and practical, the Flats Tract lies just 8 miles north of Ridgeway. Camden is a pleasant 25-mile drive. Columbia is 40 minutes away and you can reach Charlotte in just over an hour.
