133.4 Acres of Land for Sale in Sunset, South Carolina

Introducing an extraordinary 133-acre private foothills estate in western Pickens County, located just two miles south of scenic Highway 11 and adjoining more than 2,500 acres of protected Poe Creek State Forest. Framed by sweeping views of multiple mountain ridges, including Sassafras Mountain, along with approximately 20 acres of rolling open pasture, a well-established trail system through mature hardwoods, multiple year-round creeks, and exceptional opportunities for outdoor recreation and hunting. Equestrian enthusiasts can enjoy riding not only this property but convenient access to the adjoining 2500 acres of state forest land with numerous old logging roads. At the heart of the property, a charming 1,500+ square foot historic farmhouse and stone cottage, dating to the late 1800s and renovated in 1955, remains fully functional with all utilities, high-speed internet, and a private well with an emergency hand pump, making it an ideal residence, weekend retreat, or hunting lodge.

For the discerning sportsman, the estate offers a remarkable wildlife habitat where deer, turkey, bear, and boar flourish amid diverse terrain enhanced by the adjoining state forest. Existing deer stands are strategically positioned to capture commanding views across hardwood slopes, bluffs, and creek bottoms, while an on-site shooting range further enriches the property’s appeal as a premier private sporting retreat.

Previously operated as a nursery and hydroponic farm, the property is further enhanced by four 30' x 96' Atlas Snow Arch greenhouses/high tunnels, one of which features an active hydroponic NFT system and dutch bucket system. Additional improvements include a detached enclosed two-bay garage, a two bay barn with covered shelter, and a 2012 Kubota 50 HP tractor with bush hog and multiple land management implements. Together, these assets present a compelling turnkey opportunity for those seeking a sophisticated blend of recreation, agriculture, and estate stewardship.

Set on land designated as state-significant farmland, the farm also features an established blueberry orchard with 50 mature producing Pink Lemonade plants and more than 100 young varieties, as well as a fenced creek bottomland garden area served by a second deep well. These agricultural assets create outstanding potential for market farming, specialty crops, or self-sustaining country living.

The terrain is both diverse and picturesque, offering numerous potential homesites across elevated ridges, wooded settings, open pastureland, creekside clearings, and mountain-view overlooks including views. With dual wells and multiple year-round creeks, water resources are plentiful and well distributed across the property.

Offered as a rare legacy property in the storied Eastatoe Valley, this exceptional acreage seamlessly unites premier hunting and recreation, agricultural sophistication, and the enduring elegance of foothills living. Ideally positioned near Lake Keowee, Lake Jocassee, Jocassee Gorges, and the many destinations of the Upstate, the estate is perfectly suited for a private family compound, an exclusive sporting retreat, a distinguished working farm, or a multi-generational recreational haven.
