Hightower Road Tract
86 Acres Chester County SC Hunting Land – Food Plots, Pine Timber, Near I-77 & Charlotte
The ±86.04 acre Hightower Road Tract is located just outside the rural community of Fort Lawn in Chester County, South Carolina, offering an outstanding combination of recreational opportunity, timber investment, and convenient access to nearby economic centers. The property lies along Hightower Road just south of SC Highway 9 and features approximately 700 feet of road frontage, providing direct access and excellent visibility. Its location places the tract only about 12 minutes from Interstate 77 in Richburg, approximately 50 minutes from Charlotte, North Carolina, and about one hour from Columbia, South Carolina—making it an ideal weekend retreat or long-term investment property within reach of major metropolitan markets.The property is truly turnkey for the outdoorsman. Six well-established food plots are already in place throughout the tract, creating prime hunting locations and excellent wildlife habitat. An extensive internal road system allows convenient access to nearly every portion of the property, making it easy to navigate by truck, ATV, or side-by-side. The road network also supports ongoing forest management activities and provides convenient access to hunting stands and food plots across the tract.
Timber resources on the property are diverse and well distributed among multiple stand ages, providing both current and future management opportunities. Approximately 28.30 acres are planted in 2-year-old loblolly pine, representing a young, vigorous stand that will continue to grow and add long-term value. Roughly 18.7 acres consist of 12-year-old loblolly pine approaching the stage where future thinning will help improve stand quality and promote sawtimber growth. Approximately 25 acres of 32-year-old loblolly pine offer near-term timber management potential while also providing excellent cover and bedding habitat for wildlife. Additional acreage includes mixed hardwoods located along natural drainages that enhance habitat diversity and help protect water quality.
For hunters and outdoor enthusiasts, this tract offers excellent deer and turkey hunting opportunities. The combination of established food plots, mature pine cover, young plantation habitat, and hardwood corridors creates ideal conditions for wildlife movement and year-round forage. Properties with this level of habitat diversity and established infrastructure are increasingly difficult to find in the region.
In addition to its recreational appeal, the property also benefits from nearby infrastructure. Public water and sewer utilities are located within approximately 300 feet of the property. With the assistance of a qualified engineer and subject to approval by the appropriate municipal or county authorities, there may be potential for future connection to these services, providing additional long-term development or investment considerations.
