Browns Branch
Rolling Hills in Western Cherokee
Browns Branch Tract is characterized by rolling hills and vigorous young pine trees. The land lies south of Goucher Green Bethel Road in the White Plains area of western Cherokee County, about a mile from the Spartanburg County line.
About 44 acres are forested with loblolly pine planted in 2021 and now in their sixth growing season. These young trees are healthy and growing fast. The upper end of Browns Branch is a small stream that crosses the back side of the land. Some steep slopes overlook the little stream. Older pines, mixed with a few hardwoods, stand in patches that collectively cover approximately 12 acres. A steel tower power line crosses the property about two-thirds of the way back from the paved road, occupying a right-of-way that spans about 5 acres.
Soils are mostly sandy loam and are productive for timber and wildlife openings. Where slopes allow, soils would be productive for larger fields and pastures if desired. Topography is rolling over most of the land. Some of the most level parts of the tract are in the area cleared for powerline right-of-way. The neighborhood is rural, with houses scattered along the road and wooded tracts between.
The property has an entrance along Goucher Green Bethel Road with about 50 feet of frontage. A power line, a fiber-optic line, and a public water line run near the paved road. Soil maps indicate that septic perc potential is good in places, including the area with the best topography nearest the paved road. A driveway of about 1,000 to 1,200 feet would be required to reach a building site within the tract. Most of this distance is already an established woods road and much of it is graveled.
The amenities of Spartanburg are about 20 to 30 minutes away. The tract is about 5 miles from Pacolet, 11 miles from Gaffney, 15 miles from Spartanburg, and 48 miles from Greenville. All distances are approximate road miles to the center of town.
