Nestled between North Augusta and Edgefield with a landscape that feels straight out of the North Carolina mountains, this exceptional 130 acre estate offers unmatched privacy, natural beauty, and character. A long gravel road winds through the property, framed by hardwoods, gentle hills, and partially fenced, leading to two ideal homestead sites perfect for future residences, a family compound, or a luxury retreat. The crown jewel of the land is an expansive eight-acre pond stocked with fish and bordered by abundant wildlife, including trophy deer and wild turkey, making this an extraordinary destination for sportsmen and nature lovers. Overlooking the water sits a rare, fully restored original train caboose, thoughtfully converted into a charming retreat complete with a bed, couch, and TV - a unique feature that adds history, soul, and endless possibilities for guest accommodations or a signature focal point for a high-end lodge. With its serene atmosphere, rich wildlife, and direct border on Stevens Creek, the property offers endless potential, whether envisioned as a hunting lodge, a private estate, a secluded getaway, or a generational legacy property. Quiet, scenic, and completely secluded, this is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a breathtaking piece of the South Carolina countryside.
Directions: From North Augusta or Edgefield, take Highway 25 toward Edgefield/Clarks Hill and turn onto Bettis Academy Road; continue straight until it becomes Modoc Highway (SC-23), then follow SC-23 toward Modoc and turn onto Red Hill Road. Continue a short distance and make a final turn onto Escape Road, where the property will be on your right.
