13.25 Wooded Acres Near Chapin and Spring Hill High School

Description

Unique wooded land with residential potential, convenient to I-26 Chapin Exit and Spring Hill High School, in a well-established neighborhood of multi-acre lots near the Broad River.

This location is on the fringe of Columbia suburban growth, about 13± miles up I-26, northwest of Columbiana Centre and the new Baptist Park Ridge Hospital which are near Irmo.

Richland County zoning, a new land use plan and land use history provide this neighborhood with residential parcel sizes that mostly exceed 4± acres along paved road frontages, with larger parcels for forestry, recreational and conservation uses being located near the Broad River.   Public roads meander through the area and are not highly likely to be expanded in the future due to low population density.

Despite the rural character, you don't have to go too far to meet most of your food, shopping and health care needs, all of which which can be found near Chapin, Ballentine and Irmo.

 "Downtown" Chapin is 5.3 miles away (newly upgraded Chapin Exit #91 on I-26 is 3.6 miles away.  Irmo is served by 3 exits on I-26 that are 11 to 13 miles away.

The newly upgraded Peak (to north) & Ballentine/White Rock (to south) exit #97 on I-26 at US Hwy. #176 is about 6.5± driving miles; travel 2.5± miles further on US #176 and you have arrived at the WalMart shopping center, Tractor Supply Company and numerous restaurants and other businesses.

This property has a history of pine forest management for more than 40 years, and the trees have been thinned twice.  A long time ago, the area was used for subsistence farming and some wide terraces were created.

Good quality, multi-acre sites (7.39 acres and 11.52 acres), with relatively new, good quality houses border each side of this parcel.

While this acreage could be used to make a very good single residential site, similar land nearby, with similar zoning and land use conditions has been divided into house lots that are 4 to 6+ acres in size.  Division into smaller house sites likely requires county and highway permitting based on surveying, approval of location of driveways and septic tests.
