Lot #7 Winnie Hole Lane Unit #7, Richburg, SC 29729

Property Description

Beautiful 6.5 acre lot in a peaceful location near the end of a quiet paved road. The property is a nature lover’s dream with a nice gently sloping topography ending at the back border with over 700 feet of creek frontage on a pretty, clear, spring-fed tributary of Barbers Creek. Valuable black walnut trees (mature $3000+ each) are dispersed throughout property. The property has been approved for agricultural exemption for property taxes with taxes of approx. $20/year until home is built. Recent improvements are the paving of the road and boundaries staked by a surveyor. There is a septic permit for a 3 BR home available and a power pole is already on the property. Mobile homes are okay with some covenants in place to protect the natural beauty. Great location with easy access to I-77. Convenient to Chester, Rock Hill, Charlotte and Columbia. Although not 100% verified, there is some interesting history of the property when it was part of Civil War Captain Osmond Barber’s plantation: Osmond reportedly helped escort Confederate President Jefferson Davis flee Richmond after General Lee’s surrender. It was rumored that Captain Barber may have absconded with a portion of the Confederate treasury as the group traveled through Chester County. At a time when most plantation owners were lucky to even keep what land they had, Captain Barber increased his holdings from 500 acres to over 15,000. Who knows what might be buried on that property!
