Brown & Company is pleased to offer “BuckRidge Farm” an excellent 62.82 acre recreational tract located in Ridgeway, South Carolina. This property is a true turn-key sportsman’s tract and is already prepared for your next hunting adventure. This property has been designed with hunting in-mind, however, it also offers several perfect locations that would be suitable for a new home. Paved road frontage, a successful perk test on record and power on-site set the table for a mini-farm or rural retreat. The large field and multiple smaller food plots are established and are easily accessible on managed interior roads and network of ATV trails. The field and food plots have been maintained, planted and fertilized in recent years to help create a lush habitat for wildlife. The remainder of the property consists of a rolling topography typical for the area, with a scenic hilltop overlooking hardwood bottoms and a creek that meanders through the tract. This property is situated conveniently from I-77 (Exits 32, 34 & 41) and is centrally located between Blythewood, Lugoff, Lake Wateree and Ridgeway. The broker/auctioneer is also the owner and is waiving the commission/buyer’s premium for this sale (unless the buyer enlists a buyer’s agent, in which a 3% buyer’s premium will apply). Whether you’re looking for that next big buck, a rural homesite, or both - this tract has it all. Contact Russ Brown for more information, (803) 718-0911 or to schedule a visit
