Chestnutt Ridge Road in Marietta, SC


Yesterday we all drove about 45 minutes northwest of Greer and met my parents to take a look at this 12 acres out in Marietta. The view (if you cleared the trees) is excellent. You are really close to the mountains in this area.

The pros:
1) There's alot of land for a decent price (around $60,000).
2) The land is heavily wooded and beautiful. It is rolling and there is a bluff at the end of the property from which you can hear a babbling brook.

The cons:
1) My Dad and I wandered the property for about 20 minutes in heavy brush and trees. We weren't sure whether there were clearings for building or not (the owner said there was).
2) There's very little pasture. There's some open area at the bottleneck of this property.
3) You can't access the land except through that bottleneck. On either side of that narrow pass the neighbors are pretty close. What's the use of moving to the country when your neighbors know exactly when you are leaving and coming?

So--this property will be taken off the list.
