The Opportunity
Greenwood Communities and Resorts is offering a rare opportunity to own all or a piece of the
largest remaining tract on beautiful Lake Wateree in the historic community of Liberty Hill.
The location, size, topography and seemingly endless waterfront make this property a true value
even in today’s market. Hunting and fishing opportunities abound on this property which is
covered in pine and hardwoods except for the occasional food plots.
Tracts A through G each offer optimal acreage for hunting opportunities from approximately
217 to 854 acres and water frontage from approximately 8,135 feet to 13,881 feet. Each tract’s
boundaries mostly follow drains and creeks leaving the ridges and fantastic vistas within the
individual tracts. Most tracts also have their own gated access and internal roads.
Tract F has a dock with a two boat slip and lifts. A pontoon is available and on the lift for showing the waterfront. A six passenger ATV is also available on tract F for more intense exploration
of the property as well.
This property has never been offered at this price or configuration and is listed by Palmetto
Development Services, a wholly owned brokerage service of Greenwood Communities and Resorts. Palmetto Development Services will sell individual tracts as drawn, any combination of
tracts, any other reasonable subdivision or the property as a whole. PDS preference is to progress in sales from the ends to the middle.
A number of dated due diligence documents are available for review however any prospective
buyer should rely on their own due diligence and
confirmation of all information provided in making purchasing decisions.
The entire tract is leased for hunting and is also
gated. For safety reasons and access contact Bob
Haynie at 864-337-1791 for showing appointments or any other assistance or information
needed

Property Description
• ±3,452 acres in Liberty Hill, SC
• ±1,478 acres in Kershaw County
• ±1,974 acres in Lancaster County
• 20 miles from the towns of Camden and Lancaster
• Access is from Wildlife Road, approximately 3.5 miles from
Highway 97. Highway 97 runs south to Camden and north to
Interstate 77 and Charlotte.
• The property was purchased from Crescent Resources in August of 2006 and is formerly known as the Rich Hill Tract. Crescent managed the land as a private hunting retreat. Numerous
“food plots” or open meadows break up the forest canopy. As
a result the land is rich in wildlife. On any given day sightings
might include deer, turkey, beaver, red and gray fox, grey squirrels, fox squirrels, cockaded and pileated woodpecker, osprey,
eagles, several varieties of hawks, geese, ducks – mallards and
woodies – great grey herons, egret, cormorant and many varieties of song birds, including colorful cardinals, goldfinches, summer tanagers, and indigo buntings.
• 14 miles of shoreline on Lake Wateree
• The shoreline is varied and interspersed with high bluffs and
broad beaches. On the northern end of the property sheer rock
walls drop into deep water and large boulders dot the shoreline. The interior is surprisingly rugged and has the feel of high
mountain land. There is over 300 ft. of elevation change from
225’ ASL at the shore to over 550’
ASL on the highest ridge. This allows for dramatic views to the lake
and beyond.

History of Liberty Hill
The village of Liberty Hill consists of primarily mid-19th
century and early 20th century residences, but also has a
post office, small store, community center and a late 19th
c. church. The majority of the residences are located on
large tracts of land, set back from the road.
Liberty Hill visually and historically reflects both the
lifestyle and the architecture of the pre-Civil War period
as well as that of the later turn-of-the century. Remaining
from the 1830s are Cool Spring and the Joseph Cunningham House. The majority of the town’s antebellum buildings, however, were built ca. 1840-1850, when Liberty Hill
was one of the wealthiest communities in the state.
The majority of the project area was used by plantation
owners for agriculture or logging. The lands in the project
Liberty Hill Presbyterian Church
area along Singleton Creek belonged to a wealthy planter,
Joseph Cunningham, referred to as “South Carolina’s first millionaire.” Cunningham was the wealthiest man in Kershaw county, one of the wealthiest in
South Carolina, and holder of one of the largest fortunes in the United States. Cunningham accumulated his fortune from cotton agriculture and owned 800 slaves who operated his spinning
looms, a tannery, cotton gins
and water mills. He shipped his
products in boats on the Wateree River south to Charleston.
A firm in Liverpool, England
had a continuous order for his
cotton, which had an especially
long fiber.
The first large home in Liberty
Hill was built by Mr. Cunningham. The 18th century
residence is often referred to
as the “Governor’s House,”
and is very well preserved.
The Govenor’s Mansion
The possession of the estate
passed from Cunningham’s descendents to Rev. John G. Richards D. D., and then was owned
by his son John G. Richards, Jr., who was governor of South Carolina 1927-1931.

History of Lake Wateree
Lake Wateree was created by Duke Energy in 1919 with the operation of Wateree Hydroelectric
Station. The property encompasses the northern third of Lake Wateree’s east shore. The lake
covers 13,864 acres, 242 miles of shoreline, and is over ½ mile wide at its narrowest section
adjacent to the Greenwood property.
Unspoiled, the lake is known for its fishing –largemouth and striped bass, as well as bream and
catfish – and the water quality. The northern section of the lake sees very light boat traffic and is
largely undeveloped. North of the property, the entire eastern shore will be protected with a conservation easement under the Department of Natural Resources.
Wateree is the last lake on the Catawba-Wateree River basin.
