Home Details for 3 Old Town Ave

This is not just land--this is a rare Lowcountry legacy waterfront estate. Encompassing 25.54 acres just south of Georgetown, SC, on Turkey Creek off the Sampit River, this exceptional property offers deepwater access, a designated homesite, and long-term conservation protection in a setting that balances privacy, recreation, and future residential potential. A 100-foot dock with approximately 6-8 feet of water at low tide and a concrete boat ramp provide convenient boating access, including an approximate 15-minute run to downtown Georgetown. An existing 1,000 square foot metal boat building offers 600 square feet of finished heated and cooled space, providing immediate utility and flexibility for waterfront enjoyment.This 25.54-acre waterfront property is located on Turkey Creek, a tributary of the Sampit River, and is encumbered by a perpetual conservation easement held by the North American Land Trust. The easement preserves the majority of the acreage while allowing for one designated home site for a single-family residence, along with the continued use of the existing boat facilities. The property is bordered on the north and south by conserved lands, with Turkey Creek forming a natural boundary along the western side and Old Town Ave providing access on the east side, creating a private and protected setting without isolation. Subdivision and additional development are restricted, ensuring the long-term integrity and character of the land. Water access is a defining feature of the property. The dock was extended in recent years to approximately 100 feet and provides an estimated 6-8 feet of water at low tide, suitable for a variety of watercraft. A recently constructed and maintainable concrete boat ramp allows for convenient launching. From the dock, downtown Georgetown is approximately 15 minutes away by boat, offering easy access to the Sampit River and surrounding coastal waterways. This provides the ability to venture farther into open water for extended boating and exploration, presenting convenient access to both inshore and offshore fishing and opportunities for a wide range of coastal species. An existing 1,000 square foot metal boat building adds immediate utility and flexibility, offering just under 600 square feet of finished heated and cooled space that includes a living area, kitchen, pantry, bedroom, closet, and full bathroom, along with two roll-up utility bays and a covered lean-to area. The building is constructed on a slab and, like the designated homesite, is located outside the flood zone. Significant infrastructure is already in place, including 400-amp electrical service at the designated homesite, 60-amp service to the boat building, and 100-amp service near the boat landing, with all utilities installed underground. A private shallow well with an insulated well house supplies water to the boat building, garden areas, and the boat landing. Additional improvements enhance both function and livability, including an established garden area of approximately 1,000 square feet with irrigation served by multiple isolation valves that allow independent flow control to individual planting rows, a portion of which is configured as raised beds. The garden is enclosed by wildlife-exclusion fencing. A firepit area provides a natural gathering space, and cleared dirt road access runs throughout the property, connecting the public road to the boat building and the designated homesite. The conservation easement permits hunting, fishing, forestry management with approval, and passive recreational use, making the property suitable for a range of Lowcountry lifestylesfrom a private boating retreat to a future waterfront residence set within a permanently protected landscape. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial waterfront holding where conservation, access, infrastructure, and thoughtful improvements are already in place, offering a legacy-quality property that is increasingly difficult to replicate.
