Residential Land for Sale in Sumter, South Carolina

This 0.98-acre property in Sumter County, South Carolina offers buildable residential potential with paved road access, level wooded terrain, and Agricultural Conservation zoning allowing flexible housing options just minutes from downtown Sumter.

Flexible private financing options available!

The property features paved frontage on W Brewington Road, a county-maintained route providing reliable year-round access. The level, fully wooded terrain creates natural privacy while remaining easy to selectively clear for homesite development. A recently completed survey confirms boundaries and development potential, giving buyers confidence.

Agricultural Conservation zoning permits single-family homes, mobile homes, manufactured homes, and tiny homes with no minimum build size requirements. RVs and camping are allowed for recreational use up to 2 weeks annually, though not for permanent residence. Short-term rentals are permitted, offering future flexibility. Building setbacks require 35 feet front, 12 feet sides, and 50 feet rear. The county minimum is 1 acre, but this lot has been grandfathered in to be buildable.

Public water service is available through City of Sumter--a significant advantage over typical rural properties requiring wells. Duke Energy provides electricity at the street requiring buyer verification of connection costs. Septic installation requires SC DHEC permitting and soil testing, though area soil composition commonly supports conventional septic systems.

Annual property taxes run approximately ~$108.32 with no HOA restrictions or deed covenants limiting property use. The property sits outside city limits providing development flexibility while maintaining access to municipal water service. One residence is permitted on this parcel, which sits outside FEMA flood zones.

Local amenities including schools, grocery stores, and services sit just minutes away, while Swan Lake Iris Gardens, Crystal Lakes Golf Course, and Congaree National Park offer nearby recreational opportunities.

South Carolina's affordable cost of living, mild year-round climate, favorable property ownership environment with low taxes, and flexible building codes make Sumter County attractive for establishing permanent residences or personal getaways.
