The property is zoned FA (Forest Agriculture) under Horry County's Zoning Ordinance, supporting a broad array of permitted uses including agriculture, forestry operations, low-density residential homes (with minimum lot sizes ideal for spacious estates), and limited accessory commercial, social, cultural, recreational, and religious activities (up to 4,500 sq ft for certain structures). This flexible rural zoning provides an excellent foundation for diverse development opportunities, such as farming, timber management, equestrian estates, private preserves, hunting tracts, family compounds with horses and livestock--or, with appropriate approvals and synergies, larger-scale recreational ventures. A key highlight is the property's prime position directly bordering Horry County's proposed Rural Civic Center (a multi-purpose civic arena and equestrian complex). This significant county-led project--situated near Highway 501, SC-22, and Hardwick Road in the Conway area--has advanced into schematic design as of late 2025, with future phases anticipated to include an expo hall, competition arena, grandstand, horse stalls, RV camping, equestrian trails, walking paths, and more. The facility is poised to draw substantial regional events (horse shows, fairs, concerts, agricultural exhibitions, and other gatherings), boosting tourism, economic activity, and surrounding property values. Spanning approximately 446 acres of versatile, adjoining land, the parcel offers exceptional synergy potential with the upcoming public amenity. This adjacency positions it ideally for complementary development, such as a private campground to capitalize on event-driven demand--envisioning up to 419 RV sites and 132 cabins (subject to county approvals, site planning, and any required rezoning, conditional use permits, or special exceptions under FA zoning guidelines). Such a campground could serve as overflow or premium private accommodations for visitors to the Civic Center's RV facilities, horse events, fairs, and tourism traffic, creating a high-traffic recreational hub while preserving the area's natural seclusion. This expansive holding delivers privacy, abundant natural space, and strong long-term appreciation potential as Horry County's rural infrastructure grows. Perfect for visionary investors, developers seeking campground or mixed-use recreational projects, farmers, equestrian operators, or those building a legacy estate with significant upside in an emerging high-demand corridor.
