Black Creek Farm is located in Darlington County just outside the quaint and historic town of Hartsville, SC. This property is as diverse as it is unique and features nearly 2 miles of frontage on Black Creek and a historic Mill Pond. Within its roughly 530 acres- this property consists of mature bottomland hardwoods, nutrient rich ag-fields, mature upland pine stands, and scattered oaks throughout. There is an impoundment just off Black Creek that was once pasture. Today it functions as a pad pond and provides a good wild food source for duck enthusiasts. The fields are naturally lined with mass producing oaks as well as browse lines from Whitetail Deer. The bottomland hardwood feature of Black Creek swamp is filled with ancient Cypress, Tupelo, and Ash trees making it a serene destination to set up for a turkey. This portion of Black Creek swamp is below Lake Robinson but headwaters to Lake Prestwood. For the wing shooter multiple fields would set up well for a dove field and upland pine stands could be managed as bird woods for a potential pre-season quail release. The opportunities are endless.
The nearly 40-acre blackwater mill pond once served as a community venue in nature many years ago. Beaverdam Creek flows in and throughout the mill pond, creating a consistent water source to keep the pond level. The water control structure is maintained and in fantastic shape, essentially being rebuilt in May of 2024 insuring future years of enjoyment.
This property features a rich history of land stewardship, mature and diverse forests, blackwater features, and an infinite opportunity to recreate in nature. Whether you desire to fish in a pond beneath towering cypress trees, nestle at the base of a tupelo tree to wait on a turkey, or simply just enjoy being immersed in nature, this property caters to all.
Black Creek Farm is perpetually protected by a conservation easement held by Pee Dee Land Trust.
