Historic Martin Farm – A 181-Acre Equestrian Estate in Newberry, SC

Property Description:

Welcome to Martin Farm, a magnificent 181-acre estate steeped in history and nestled in the heart of Historic Newberry, South Carolina. This captivating property, established in 1903, features a charming farmhouse that beautifully preserves its original character, from the heartwood pine floors to the tongue-and-groove ceilings, all of which provide a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The farmhouse offers an impressive main level that includes a grand foyer, a spacious dining room, a cozy parlor, a comfortable family room, and a luxurious primary suite. Upstairs, you’ll find four additional bedrooms, providing ample space for family or guests. Additionally, a delightful sunroom and a 2-bedroom apartment with a private entrance were added in 2005, making this property even more versatile. The apartment could serve as a perfect guest suite or a rental income opportunity.

The estate is equine-ready, featuring fenced pastures ideal for horses, a 12-stall barn with a full hayloft, and plenty of open space for various livestock activities. While the barn requires some structural updates, it still offers great potential for use as an equestrian center or for other agricultural purposes.

Strategically located with over 1700 feet of frontage on Hwy 395 and approximately 1380 feet on Glenn St. Ext., the property offers easy access with multiple ingress and egress points. This makes it an excellent choice for subdivision, allowing for the creation of a family compound or future parcel sales if desired.

15 acres of pasture, ideal for grazing or agricultural use

46 acres of 10-year-old loblolly pine, offering both aesthetic beauty and potential income from timber harvesting
A 2.25-acre abandoned pasture within the mixed hardwood stand, which presents a premium site for a dove field.

This diverse landscape of hardwood bottoms, pastures, and both young and mature pines offers an excellent habitat for wildlife, including whitetail deer and wild turkey. Whether you are an avid hunter or simply appreciate the natural beauty of the outdoors, this property offers countless opportunities for recreation and wildlife viewing.
