Old Chelsea South
Description
Old Chelsea South was once part of the Fields family’s historical Chelsea Plantation. This property boasts sweeping live oaks, mature pines, and mixed hardwoods throughout. It offers incredible wildlife habitat diversity and a beautiful landscape. Old Chelsea South has an abundance of wild turkeys and a very healthy, well-managed deer herd. There are also three potential duck impoundments to take advantage of the coastal flyway only a few miles away. It is situated between Bolan Hall Plantation, Chelsea Plantation, Hazzard Creek Plantation, and Okatie Club, and it is only a short ten-minute drive from the town of Okatie and all of its amenities.
Hazzard Creek and its game-rich hardwood creek bottom runs over a half mile along the northern property boundary, providing excellent turkey roosting, deer bedding cover, and an abundance of quality mast-producing hardwoods. The famed Okatie Club runs the entire length of the Western property boundary. The landscape has diverse habitats, including multiple age classes of loblolly pine stands and hardwoods. In addition to potential duck impoundments, four large fields could be planted for doves, turkeys, or deer.
Old Chelsea South is conveniently located only 6 miles from John Paul ll and 14 miles from Cross School, HH Christiaan Academy, and Bluffton High, offering a rare opportunity to be close enough to turn the property into a full-time residence. This property is a blank canvas with improvements, allowing the new owner the freedom to craft their dream home or hunting compound. The current zoning for Old Chelsea South is very liberal, as this property has been fully entitled to an existing development agreement with Jasper County. This would be a rare opportunity for a conservation-minded buyer to capitalize on potential tax incentives by placing an easement on this historic property. The donor can design easements to allow for all historical usages but provide protection from development.
