About 25 acres are covered by mixed, mature hardwood forest. This includes the steepest parts of the land with very strong slopes and some gullied areas. These slopes are dominated by oaks, hickory and American beech. Rodens Creek is a large stream with a sandy, gravely bottom that runs the northeast property line for about a quarter mile. The hardwood bottomland along the creek is wide in places. Another broad bottomland is found extending toward the middle of the tract just north of the powerline right-of-way. Yellow poplar, sweetgum, and river birch shade these level bottomlands. Trees are widely spaced, and much of the ground is covered by grasses.

Soils are mostly sandy loam or sandy clay loam and are productive for timber and wildlife openings. Topography is strongly rolling over most of the tract. Some ridge tops and bottomland areas lay gently and would be useful for large wildlife openings. About 50 acres are classed as useful farmland (USDA soil classes for prime farmland). However, these better soils are found in fairly narrow areas along the highest parts of the tract. Thus, a series of openings could be practical but not a single large field. See attached USDA farmland classification map.

Soil maps indicate that septic perc potential is good for the most accessible parts of the property. Topography is gentle near the paved road. A powerline runs along Mt. Pleasant Church Road to serve houses to the north. TruVista has a fiberoptic internet line along the road. There are no public waterlines nearby. The immediate neighborhood is mostly wooded tracts and houses are widely scattered in the area. No houses are within sight of the property along the road frontage. One residence can be seen from the western property line.

The land is accessed from Mt. Pleasant Church Road (State Road 54). The town of Chester is a 15-minute drive away and offers restaurants, doctors, churches, and groceries. There are local favorites like Broad River Mercantile and Nova Donuts Caf, and chains like Ace Hardware and Tractor Supply. The little town of Lockhart is only a stone’s throw away. The tract is about 5 miles from Lockhart, 12 miles from Chester, 37 miles from Spartanburg, 30 miles from Rock Hill, and 60 miles from Charlotte. All distances are approximate road miles to the center of town.

The property is timberland with no improvements and does not have an address. It is on Mt. Pleasant Church Road (GPS = State Rd 54, Chester, SC 29706) about 1,000 feet from its junction with Hwy 9. County tax map # 018-00-00-040-000.
