Discover the potential of this rare 8.09-acre residential development opportunity located at 151 Shelton Road in the rapidly growing West Columbia area. Nestled within an established residential setting, this versatile property offers the perfect blend of privacy, convenience, and future investment potential. Whether you envision building a private custom estate surrounded by over 8 acres of wooded land or developing a single-family residential community, this property provides exceptional flexibility. The site is well suited for a small residential development featuring single-family homes with a minimum build size of 1,200 square feet, making it ideal for builders, developers, or investors seeking opportunities in one of the Midlands’ expanding markets. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, schools, major interstates, and the Columbia Metropolitan area, the property offers easy access while still maintaining a peaceful residential atmosphere. With continued growth throughout the West Columbia and Lexington County markets, opportunities for acreage tracts within established residential corridors are becoming increasingly limited. A unique opportunity to create a private retreat or capitalize on the demand for new residential housing in the West Columbia market. Disclaimer: CMLS has not reviewed and, therefore, does not endorse vendors who may appear in listings.
West Metro, located between the Congaree River and I-26, is a residential and commercial West Columbia neighborhood with a riverfront edge and a warehouse-to-workshop streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Meeting Street and State Street corridor, where patios, murals, and small storefronts set a steady, walkable rhythm. Terra draws a loyal following for seasonal plates in a converted industrial space. State Street Trading Co. anchors the daytime scene with coffee and a curated retail mix. The Riverwalk and Amphitheater adds open-air concerts and long views across the water. Housing ranges from mid-century ranches to newer infill near the main corridors.
