736 Beaver Creek Road

Main home and guest cottage on beautiful 1.5-acre pond and stunning 100-acres. 20 miles south of Columbia and 6 miles east of Swansea in Lexington Co. Entrance off paved county road, approximately one-half mile off SC Hwy 6. Enter property on smooth gravel road then pass through 15-acre field lush with Bahia grass and dotted with mature live oaks. Leaving the field, gravel road changes to asphalt as you pass through old homesite with giant red oaks and massive pines. Also a large garden area here with its own water well and electricity. Next, you enter a mature, managed pine plantation which the owner has maintained like a park with open understory and pine needles carpeting the ground. This is a wildlife sanctuary with plentiful white-tailed deer, wild turkey, fox squirrels and many other species.

There are trails cut throughout the wooded property, for nature walks, horseback or ATV rides. After a scenic, quarter-mile drive through the open pine plantation, you come to a fork in the road. The left fork takes you by a 60 x 40-ft, 5-bay pole building with storeroom and electricity. Continuing the drive, you loop around, down and enter behind the two homes, first passing a large, covered firewood storage building and a 2-bay storage building with large shop/storeroom. You then enter the driveway and parking area for the two homes, all of which is paved with sealed and well-maintained asphalt. If you take the right fork before reaching the pole-building area, you loop around and enter on a hill overlooking the pond. This is a beautiful approach to the pond, expansive yard and two homes. The drive connects with the left fork behind the homes, completing a large, circular loop!

There is also another large, irrigated garden area just uphill from the two homes, equipped with fencing and raised vegetable beds. The main home is approximately 1,400 square feet, all on one level with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, den or study, kitchen, dinette area, and large living room with cathedral ceiling. But perhaps the feature of the main home the owners have enjoyed most over the years is the incredible, spacious 32 x 11-ft screened porch that spans the entire width of the home and looks out over an outside deck and the beautiful pond. The home has central heat and air, and the living room has a large brick fireplace with wood-stove insert for supplemental heat and coziness in winter. As if the main home wasn't enough, the property has a guest home/cottage approximately 100 feet from the main home. The two homes are connected by a beautiful, in-laid brick walkway, and there is a peaceful patio with comfortable seating between the two homes. The guest cottage is approximately 1,000 square feet on two levels.

The ground level includes a 2-bay carport with large storage room. Inside the house is a large, combination bathroom/laundry, kitchenette and open living area with free-standing wood stove. Two bedrooms are upstairs along with a very large, walk-in attic space for storage. This home is perfect as a guest home, mother-in-law suite, caretaker cottage, recreation facility, or could be used to generate significant rental income to help offset the buyer’s investment cost. Both homes are perfectly landscaped with shrubs, flowers and mature trees including dogwoods, crepe myrtles and even a large palmetto tree. The spacious lawn is lush with Charleston grass, and there is even mature, producing plum and fig trees and a grape trellis.
