The Horton Tract
±222 Acres in Laurens County
The Horton Tract offers a combination of timberland investment, recreational appeal, and future growth potential in a highly desirable area of Laurens County, South Carolina. Located on Shady Grove Road just 1.8 miles from Exit 60 on Interstate 26, the property provides excellent access while maintaining the privacy and rural character buyers are increasingly searching for. The paved road frontage allows convenient year-round access, and the tract is located only minutes from the town of Clinton and within roughly 50 minutes of Greenville, Spartanburg, and Columbia.The property consists of approximately 220 acres made up of two separate tax parcels, each with its own access point. This layout creates flexibility for future division, multiple homesites, or maintaining the tract as a single large recreational and investment property. An established interior road system provides access through much of the tract and could easily be expanded for additional trails, hunting access, or future improvements.
The timber component of the property provides both current appeal and future value. Approximately 150 acres are in a well-stocked 8-year-old planted loblolly pine stand showing strong growth and offering excellent long-term timber potential. Another 41 acres consist of an attractive thinned 25-year-old planted loblolly pine stand that adds immediate visual appeal along with current and future timber value. The diversity in timber age classes creates habitat variety and multiple management opportunities for future ownership.
Small hardwood drains wind through the tract and feed into frontage along Indian Creek, adding natural beauty and important wildlife habitat. The property features rolling terrain that gives the land character while remaining highly usable for recreation, timber management, or future homesites. The mix of pine plantations, hardwood bottoms, creek frontage, and open areas creates ideal conditions for deer and turkey hunting. Five established food plots are already in place and can be maintained or expanded to support wildlife management programs.
As demand continues to grow for recreational land and rural properties within driving distance of the Upstate and Midlands, the Horton Tract is well positioned for long-term ownership. Its combination of strong access, timberland value, recreational opportunities, and development flexibility make it well suited for recreation, timber production, large private homesites, or a stable long-term investment in South Carolina land.
