Smithfield Plantation – Prime Hunting Tract in Marion County, SC Welcome to Smithfield Plantation, a beautifully laid-out hunting property located less than 5 miles from downtown Marion. This tract sits just off the Hwy 501 Bypass, providing convenient paved access while delivering a true escape into productive wildlife habitat. The diverse landscape features an ideal mix of habitats that support abundant game. High-elevation former farmland transitions into mature pine stands, while hardwood sloughs and bottomland areas create natural travel corridors and bedding cover. Spring Branch forms the southern boundary, featuring an existing beaver pond that offers excellent duck hunting opportunities along with a reliable water source. Over 35 acres were historically in row crops (now in pines), offering well-drained upland areas throughout the property. An established network of ditches and trails provides excellent internal access for management and hunting. Recent light timber work completed in September created several new wildlife openings: a 5-acre dove field, a site for 2.5-acre duck impoundment, and a 1-acre food plot — ready for immediate use this season. The property is currently being upfitted with a one-acre pond, septic system, water, and RV hookups, adding tremendous convenience and versatility for camping, extended stays, or future development. The property is surrounded by exceptional cover and food sources. Hundreds of acres of active row-crop farmland border the tract to the north and south, while vast mature hardwood forests lie to the west, extending down to Catfish Creek. This combination makes Smithfield Plantation exceptionally rich in wildlife — particularly deer and turkey — with consistent sightings and harvest opportunities. Whether you're seeking a turnkey hunting retreat, a place to build family traditions, or a manageable timber and wildlife investment with added recreational amenities, Smithfield Plantation offers an outstanding balance of accessibility, habitat diversity, and proven productivity.
