You are considering a 21½ acre (8.7 hectares) farm property located near the village of Hilda, South Carolina in Barnwell County, 60 miles (97 km.) south of the capital city of Columbia, SC, 53 miles (85 km.) east of Augusta, GA, and 100 miles (161 km.) northwest of Charleston SC. This is well-drained and open flat land with installed water well and electric power, presently under partial cultivation of field peas. In recent years, this farm has grown the well-regarded Barnwell watermelon (in fact, Barnwell proudly proclaims itself the "watermelon capital of the world.") Beyond farming, this parcel would make an outstanding recreational property, a hobby farm for horses, or an estate building site. The property is bounded on two sides by pine and oak trees.

South Carolina ("The Palmetto State") is one of the warm, hospitable, and most historic of southern American states. Its inland region -- in which this property is located -- is free of the hurricanes which batter Florida and threaten the Gulf and South Atlantic coasts for certain months of the year.

Barnwell County comprises 548 sq. miles (1419 km.2) of land. It is quite rural and uncrowded in character. With an approximate population of 25,000, its population has remained stable in the last several years. Demographically, there are about 9,000 households in the county, with 55% of the population listed as Caucasian, 43% as African-American, and 2% other heritages. The home-ownership rate for county residents, at 75½%, is a bit higher than the statewide average. (An interesting sidelight: Barnwell and its surrounding counties are home to various communities of Mennonites).

Whether you're in Minneapolis, Stockholm, or Moscow; London or Lisbon, Anchorage or Tokyo; Johannesburg or Dubai; Montevideo or Hong Kong ... here is a gem of South Carolina rural real estate for your serious consideration. A wonderful Winter or all-year refuge for you and your family. Listed at US $73,310 (€58224, £39053), a most attractive price for American rural land. [For non-Americans: your name on the title of this farm offers many advantages of U.S. property ownership. One is facilitated travel into the US for recurrent part-time residents or investors. Check with your attorney or the US Embassy for details.] You'll be tempted by the relaxed rural South Carolina lifestyle (yet easily accessible to sophisticated Charleston and other charming southern cities) to spend more than just your warm Winters here.
