You can buy your own SC wildlife preserve for $2.3M. Here’s where, what it has to offer

A 625-acre wildlife sanctuary along the Black River in Williamsburg County is for sale for $2,378,000.

There’s no house on the property. In fact, the only structures are the stands placed throughout for sport.

There are plenty of acres of pine trees and mature hardwood as well as 65 acres of fields and bedding habitat, river bottomland and over a mile of river frontage, as well as a mile on Thorntree Branch.

A conservation easement is held by the Pee Dee Land Trust, but cabins, ponds and waterfowl impoundments would be allowed.

“It’s the ideal blend of preservation and usability for buyers seeking a true legacy retreat,” National Land Realty said in its listing.

The property, known as Thorntree Preserve – Black River, is located on Highway 521 in Salters, an unincorporated community with about 3,000 people.

The real estate listing says it has multiple food plots, maintained roads and deer, turkey, and duck habitat.

The easement “ensures its ecological integrity for generations to come, while still allowing recreational use, timber management, and the development of future structures, ponds, or waterfowl impoundments,” the listing said.

The timber has brought long-term revenue and portfolio stability, the listing said.

It is a mile from the historic Cooper’s Country Store, which customers describe as stepping into a time machine, offering BBQ, neighbors and wood floors.

One customer asked if you didn’t go to Coopers, did you even visit the South?

The property is 10 minutes from Kingstree, and 1 hour and 30 minutes from Charleston.
