1970 Cross Swamp Road, Lodge

Blue Wing Properties is proud to introduce Walnut Hill, a finished sporting farm in Colleton County in the quiet community of Cross Swamp. Complete with a fully-renovated three-bedroom cabin (one is a bunkroom that sleeps six), this farm has about everything you'd want in a turn-key place to enjoy with family, entertain, and pursue a variety of quality wildlife.The cabin sits on its own gated parcel with a driveway leading to tree-shaded parking. Recently upfitted with new siding, cabinets, appliances and more, the floor plan is open and attractive, and the bedroom setup is ideal. An elevated back patio overlooks a tranquil tree-shaded bream and bass pond with a covered boat shed, and the front door of the cabin looks out toward a fully high-fenced, proven dove field surrounded by two age classes of pines, upland and bottomland hardwoods, and a fenced garden complete with chicken coop. The larger section of the farm starts at a large, rustic, renovated barn that serves among other things as equipment storage, party, ballgame and cooking hangout. Roads from there lead first around an intricately build flooded timber, spring-fed pond that offers miles of bass casting on foot or boat, tremendous duck habitat (with nesting and migratory birds). The water feature opens to upland roads, fields lined with sawtooth oaks, a nice pole shed, dove fields, a quail course, and a beautiful pond-view hill dotted with black walnut trees - once a fine old homesite. Along the way, a huge hardwood flat with ample white oak stands runs the property's eastern border, creating a linear turkey roost and plenty of deer food. Big whitetail and mature gobbler numbers and quality have only improved under the new owner. The tract hunts well, with edges, funnels, "grandkid" stands, and tucked-away bow hunting spots. The rood looping across the northern boundary through a large pine stand connects with a new plant/flood duck impoundment entering its second shooting year. Last season saw excellent numbers and some great shoots that included bags of green winged teal, woodies, gadwall, ringers, and a surprise drake redhead. Walnut Hill is a rare find in South Carolina's Lowcountry - a completely turn-key family property with high-quality wildlife pursuits that can be enjoyed year-round. Just over an hour from Charleston, this farm is just close enough to jump in the truck and go, and just far enough away to enjoy a completely different world.
