Big Creek, Great Access

Millcreek Tract is a big outdoor playground in the hills of northwest Union County. It lies on Jerusalem Road in a quiet area just east of the small town of Pacolet and less than two miles from the Spartanburg County line. Rolling hills are forested with two ages of planted pines, each covering more than 100 acres. Mill Creek is big, year-round stream with a sand and gravel base that flows through the land near its southern boundary for more than 4,000 feet. Mature hardwoods line the creek banks and fill the bottomland. A large powerline right-of-way crosses the northern part of the property. Quail are heard calling among the youngest pines. Wild turkeys are common and whitetail deer are abundant. More than 115 acres of loblolly pines were planted in 2021. These young trees look good and are growing fast. An estimated 113 acres of pines are now about 22 years old. They have been thinned and are well-spaced. More than 15 acres are in a large powerline right-of-way providing readymade shooting lanes and opportunities to improve wildlife plots. The land extends beyond Mill Creek to take in mature hardwood forest on both sides. Yellow poplar, paw paw, and sweetgum are common along with oak and beech on surrounding slopes. Almost 80 acres of the property are covered with mature hardwoods. Access across the land is good with more than a mile and a half of woods roads and trails. Soils are mostly sandy clay loam or sandy loam and productive for timber and wildlife openings. Some areas could be converted to other uses such dove fields, pastures, or orchards with about 70 acres mapped as useful farmland (USDA farmland classification). The highest point on the property sits at about 630 feet elevation. The tract has more than 4,000 feet of paved road frontage and three gates enter the land from Jerusalem Road, a rural 2-lane highway. Gentle topography offering potential home sites can be found in places along Jerusalem Road. Fiberoptic lines and powerlines that serve nearby homes run near the road frontage. Soil mapping for septic drain field potential looks favorable for some areas near Jerusalem Road. There are no public waterlines in the area. A home would require well and septic. The immediate neighborhood is mostly wooded tracts and pastures. Houses are scattered in the area with no planned subdivisions or commercial sites nearby.
