This land has frontage on Luke Godwin Road which is a paved
state maintained
highway. Taxes are
less than $10.00 per acre, per year.
Clarendon Hall, a private academy is located directly across the
Interstate.
The tract is bordered on the back side by Taw Caw Creek, which is a feed stream into the Santee
basin. Excellent road/trail system thru out the tract.
The
ponds are surrounded by all hardwoods and in a very natural state, I am told that the fishing is good.
Wildlife
is abundant.

Some information of the area: Summerton
is located in the southwestern portion of Clarendon County. Anne Custis Burgess, the composer of our state song, Carolina,
grew up here in the 1870s.
Manning is the
largest town near Summerton. Lake
Moultrie was created, along with Lake Marion, in the early 1940s by the Santee Cooper Project. It covers about 60,000 acres
in Berkeley County. The lake is named for SC governor and Revolutionary War general William Moultrie. Both lakes are famous
for their fish population which has produced several world record winners Both Lake Moultrie
and Lake Marion offer countless opportunities for the adventurous spirit. Bring your speedboat and skis, canoe, jet-ski, or
kayak. Enjoy the lake at your own pace. Or rent a kayak, canoe or low-power boat when you arrive. You can camp at any of the
29 campgrounds or on a pristine island, take a tour boat or guided fishing trip, canoe the backwater swamps or hike trails
through the state parks. There is also a myriad of wildlife species that inhabit the varied landscape of Santee such as the
threatened bald eagle, and occasionally the endangered peregrine falcon. Trails are open for wildlife observation, photography
and hiking. The Visitors Center contains a number of displays describing refuge wildlife and habitats and provides an excellent
opportunity for visitors to become acquainted with the refuge before venturing out. This is highly recommended, especially
for the first time visitor. For the boat enthusiast
you can travel from Lake Marion through the Diversion Canal to Lake Moultrie. At the end of Lake Moultrie lies the 75-foot
high Pinopolis Lock, which lowers boaters down to the Tailrace Canal which takes you to the Cooper River and on to Charleston.
The trip from the confluence of the Congaree and Wateree Rivers to Charleston Harbor is approximately 162 miles. Lake
Marion is the largest lake in the state of South Carolina at 110,000 acres. Marion is connected to its sister lake, Lake Moultrie,
by a canal. These lakes are located in the lowlands of South Carolina north of Charleston. Santee Cooper is now the name of
the utility that owns and operates the lakes for power production. These lakes are legendary for great fishing. The state
record largemouth bass was caught here. Also huge catfish are caught in the Diversion Canal, which connects the two lakes.
Fishing guides are available for both of these lakes. The look of Lake Marion is far different from the upstate lakes. Here
you will see many cypress tree and swampy looking areas. In contrast, you will also see vast expanses of open water. Consequently,
the waves are known to get very high on windy days. In addition to Santee State Park, this lake has many campgrounds, boat
ramps, restaurants, and places for lodging
