Listing details for 256 Midway Plantation Dr, Cordesville, SC 29450 : From Mt. Pleasant, Hwy 41 N to Hwy 402 in Huger. Approximately 8 miles on R, Midway Plantation Dr. Remarks: Midway Plantation is a diverse 1275-acre property that blends managed pine forestland with hardwood bottoms, historic inland rice fields, 18th century reserve ponds, clean fields, well-built roads, working facilities, and a rustic, comfortable lodge all just a half hour from Charleston, South Carolina. Located in the heart of the Cooper River Historic district, Midway acts as a critical, natural span between 250,000 acres of Francis Marion National Forest and Bonneau Ferry a state-owned riverfront wildlife mecca. As such, Midway enjoys a steady flow of wildlife and a unique peace and quiet to be so close to a major South Carolina city. As you enter Midway's managed pinewoods, you soon approach Midway Reserve a 150-acre water resource listed in the National Register of Historic Places. This archeological feature, owned by John Ball of Kensington and Hyde Park plantations in 1790, was used along with an intricate canal and dike system in inland rice cultivation. Today, it's value lies in waterfowl, wading bird, and freshwater fish habitat. The rustic 2100 square foot cabin sits on a green lawn overlooking the reserve well within sight and sound of ducks going to roost but subtle enough to keep them undisturbed. Just beyond the cabin and the ponds are a series of grain-planted duck impoundments. The current owners maintain the water control structures and water flow with pumps, well supplements and the old rice reserve system. The result is ample duck shooting with the potential for more. Beyond its water features, the tract unspools into 750 acres of woods that meander between open pine savannahs, hardwood flats, oak bottoms, and managed agricultural food plots and fields. Chufa, sunflowers, corn, and fruit trees are among the plantings. Doves, quail, wild turkey, and deer abound.
