Saint Matthews Church, Sumter, SC 29153

Description

Sumter County TMS 265-00-02-032 is a split-use Midlands tract: about half tillable farmland and half woods. The open ground is the working row cropland. The wooded half is cover, timber, and a private hunt edge, with a natural pocket for a homesite looking across the fields. You get rural quiet without being cut off. Sumter is the county seat, about 45 minutes east of Columbia on US 76/378 and a short hop west of I-95. Shaw Air Force Base anchors the local economy. Groceries, farm supply, Prisma Health Tuomey, and county offices are a single errand loop.The landmark stop is Swan Lake Iris Gardens—the only U.S. public park with all eight swan species and heavy Japanese iris plantings, free to walk. Poinsett State Park and Manchester State Forest cover hiking, fishing, paddling, and the Palmetto Trail. Downtown holds the Opera House, Sumter County Museum, boutiques, and Sumter Original Brewery. Sumter Mall and the Broad Street corridor handle Belk, everyday retail, and chains; The Hamptons and local cafés cover a nicer dinner.Confirm acreage, zoning, soils, floodplain, and road frontage on the assessor card before you price it. What the land already shows is simple: farm one side, hunt the other, and still reach town before dark.
