Tucked away on nearly 4 acres in South Effingham, this Lowcountry-style home offers a quiet, functional retreat with room to live, work, and explore. A wide front porch welcomes you under mature trees, while a 40-foot screened porch spans the back of the home with peaceful views of a spring-fed pond—perfect for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or casting a fishing line.
Inside, the layout balances comfort and practicality. The kitchen features an apron-front sink, white cabinetry, and an island that opens to casual living space. The main-floor primary suite includes an en suite bath and a spacious walk-in closet. A wood-burning fireplace adds warmth to the living area, and natural light filters in through large windows.
The property is as functional as it is scenic. A rustic party barn sits near the pond, ideal for gatherings or weekend projects. There’s a detached workshop, a 3-bay carport, RV/boat parking, and a fenced dog run. A ready-to-use chicken coop, garden area, and open lawn space provide opportunities for self-sufficiency and outdoor hobbies.
Originally two separate parcels, the 3.68 acres may offer future subdivision options (buyer to verify). Located on a quiet county-maintained road, this property is served by well and septic, with no HOA. Zoned for South Effingham schools, it offers a rare mix of privacy, character, and flexibility just outside city limits.
