About this home
Turnkey beef cattle ranch in the heart of the Lowcountry. Just over 200 contiguousacres across three adjoining parcels, this property offers an exceptional combination ofestablished farm infrastructure, silvopasture, timber, hunting, recreation, and private-estate potential. Formerly operated as Lightning Rock Land & Cattle, the farmsupported a successful direct-to-consumer beef cattle operation for the past five yearsand also raised horses, goats, chickens, ducks, and honeybees.The property has just over 50 acres fenced enclosing four individual paddocks, withgated primary and secondary entrances and fencing extending along the improvedaccess road. A separate clearing of approximately 3 acres was originally planned as thefuture homesite. The homesite includes a deep-well, underground electrical service trenched from Smoak Road, a covered 30' x 48' pole-barn/carport-style structure, and an RV site where the owners lived for three years. A permit to construct an underground onsite waste water system for a four bedroom house was approved in 2022; buyers should independently verify homesite and septic suitability. Originally a timber tract, extensive improvements include approximately 3,000 feet of
underground water piping with multiple spigots, livestock fencing and gates, maintained firebreaks, and significant improvements to the Smoak Road entrance and drive. The robust cattle handling corral is built with 6-ft All-American Panels, an Arrowquip squeeze
chute, and Gallagher scale. Extra panels are used for the cattle holding pen and horse round pen. Miles of established trails provide convenient side-by-side access throughout the property and make it easy to explore and maintain the land. The farm has been thoughtfully transformed through regenerative practices including
rotational grazing, no-till planting, prescribed burning, multi-species grazing, and silvopasture--the integration of livestock within wooded areas. The timber offers generational income- from mature, thinned stands with pole pines to young pines nearing first thinning. Mature hardwoods are scattered throughout the property, adding
to the farm's agricultural, recreational, and long-term land-use appeal. This property is not simply recreational acreage--it is a fully-functioning farm. Although the business itself is not being sold, the infrastructure already in place provides a significant head start for a new owner interested in continuing a cattle operation, diversified farm, or similar agricultural use. The owners have maintained extensive records documenting the farm's transformation, including six years of soil data, planting and lime applications, prescribed burns, and other land-management practices. They have also developed valuable relationships within the cattle, forestry, silvopasture, processing, and agricultural communities and are willing to share relevant information and resources with a serious buyer. The nearest USDA cattle butcher is located less
than an hour away, while a USDA cattle, pig, lamb, chicken, and duck butcher is just under two hours away. The property has participated in University and non-profit agencies' agricultural and regenerative-farming cost-share programs; continued participation or eligibility would be subject to each program's requirements and
approval. An outdoor enthusiast can escape from Charleston traffic in less than an hour. The varied habitat of open pasture, silvopasture, planted pines, mature woods, wetlands, and a natural creek supports an abundance of wildlife, including deer, turkey, rabbits, and ducks. Miles of trails, existing deer blinds and extensive acreage create excellent opportunities for hunting, wildlife observation, ATV riding, and year-round recreation.
The active beehives further reflect the property's healthy and diverse natural environment. A creek crosses the northern portion of the property and adds to the natural beauty and wildlife habitat. The owners' residence on more than 13 acres is located diagonally
across Barracada Road from the northern portion of the farm and will be offered through a separate residential listing. The home and its acreage may be purchased together with the farm, creating an extraordinary property totaling just under 220 acres. There is
currently no direct vehicular connection between the residence and the farm due to the creek. Please refer to the separate residential listing for complete details and pricing. Whether you want to continue a regenerative cattle or diversified farming operation,
create a horse farm or homestead, establish a private hunting and recreational retreat, or build a secluded country estate, this property is unlike anything else on the market in the Lowcountry. Select farm equipment--including an excavator, skid steer, 50-horsepower tractor and implements--may be available through separate negotiation but
does not convey with the real estate. The property is being sold as three adjoining parcels totaling just over 200 acres. Acreage, boundaries, permitted uses, septic suitability, program eligibility and all other information important to the buyer should be independently verified....
