Lot 8 Kemper Rd., Nichols, Marion

Room to breathe on this 2.31-acre home site on paved Kemper Rd, just 2 miles north of Nichols. If you have been dreaming of a hobby farm, this is a great place to start. There is enough room to spread out, keep chickens or a couple of horses, plant a big garden, and still have space between you and the neighbors. Manufactured homes are welcome, along with site-built homes. It is an open, cleared farm field with good sun, so it is ready for a house, a big garden, a few animals or a shop. The land is nearly flat and sits outside the flood zone. Soils across the area are mostly well-drained Brogdon and Goldsboro sands, which bodes well for septic. Utilities will be public water and septic. Out here you trade the hustle and bustle of beach traffic for quiet country roads, open sky and evenings on the porch. You are still about 15 minutes from Mullins, 25 minutes from Marion and about an hour from Myrtle Beach when you want a day at the coast.
