TBD Lento Road, Varnville, SC 29944

Portress Tract

Portress Tract - Spanning approximately 62 acres in a quiet, well-defined setting, this property offers a rare blend of history, usability, and natural beauty. The property was originally part of a grant to Jacob Griner in 1840 and inherited by his daughter Rebecca Griner Portress, wife of CSA Captain George W. Portress, and is being offered for sale outside of the family for the first time in 166 years. A former homesite dating back to the 1860s speaks to the historic nature of the land, while frontage on both SC Highway 3 and Lento Road provides excellent access and flexibility for future use. The landscape features a strong mix of upland acreage that gently transitions down to a scenic creek running the entire length of the back boundary. With road frontage on two sides, a creek forming the rear boundary, and a large adjoining landowner, the property is uniquely positioned to offer both privacy and a sense of permanence. Improvements include two established homesites, an existing food plot, and a well-maintained internal road system that allows easy access throughout the tract from either road frontage. Scattered across the property are beautiful old-growth sycamore and live oaks, adding both aesthetic appeal and a timeless Lowcountry feel. From the property, drive times are under an hour to Savannah, GA, Beaufort, SC, Bluffton, SC, and Hilton Head Island, and under two hours to Augusta, GA and Columbia, SC, offering convenient access to some of the region's most sought-after destinations while maintaining a private, rural setting. Whether you are looking to build, recreate, or invest in a legacy tract, this property offers the foundation to do so. Minimal restrictions are in place and will be shared upon request. Showings are by appointment only and must be accompanied by the listing agent.
