Wooded Half-Acre with Koi Pond and Three Boat Ramps to Lake Strom Thurmond Nearby — $149,900

The koi pond is the thing you notice first. It sits behind the house, visible from the covered back porch, and it changes what this property feels like. You are not just looking at trees. You are looking at something someone tended. The lot is 0.58 acres, wooded, with a view of Chigger Ridge II pond in addition to the koi pond on the property itself. Two water views on under two-thirds of an acre.

The house is two bedrooms, one bath, recently renovated and fully furnished. No square footage listed, so go in with open eyes on that. What the listing tells you is that it comes ready to use, which matters if you are thinking about rental income or just want to show up with your stuff and be done.

There are two garages. An attached garage and a separate detached garage with workshop space. For a property this size at this price, that is a lot of covered space for vehicles, tools, boats, whatever you are hauling in. There is also a covered front porch and the covered back porch over the koi pond, plus a fire pit area. The property runs on its own well and septic.

Location is halfway between Abbeville and McCormick, off Highway 28, in a community called Chigger Ridge. Three boat ramps to Lake Strom Thurmond are within two miles. Lake Russell and Calhoun Falls are 16 miles out. The listing mentions the community backs up to National Forest land. High-speed internet is available, which matters if you plan to rent it short-term or work remotely.

Augusta is 42 miles. Abbeville and McCormick are both 14 miles. This is rural but connected enough to function. If you want a fishing and hunting base with Airbnb upside, the pieces are here. If you want a quiet place to own outright, that works too.
