Twin Roads, 906 acres in Kershaw County, stands as one of the most compelling waterfowl and multi-species sporting properties available along the Wateree River corridor in South Carolina. Situated in Kershaw County just south of Lugoff, this 906± acre contiguous tract occupies a coveted position within an elite neighborhood of private duck properties — including the renowned Bluelands Plantation and Mulberry Plantation — that together define one of the most productive waterfowl corridors in the Palmetto State.
What truly sets Twin Road apart from virtually every comparable property in the region is its rare, passive gravity-fed water system. Gilly’s Creek, a natural tributary of the Wateree River, flows directly onto the property, naturally flooding the primary impoundment, flooded hardwood timber, and connected water features at essentially zero operating cost. Unlike properties reliant on pumps, fuel, and constant infrastructure maintenance, flooding here is accomplished simply by setting flashboard risers — allowing the land to function exactly as it was intended.
“There's a tributary that comes off the Wateree River called Gilly's Creek which naturally feeds water onto this place. You have virtually zero expense in flooding — it's just a matter of throwing the boards in the flashboard risers.”
— Jon Kohler, Jon Kohler & Associates
The wildlife profile at Twin Road is exceptional across every season. Waterfowl hunting ranks among the finest on the Wateree, supported by a diverse system that includes a 48± acre managed impoundment, more than 100± acres of flooded hardwood timber and buckbrush, and two naturally occurring beaver ponds totaling approximately 60± acres. This combination creates outstanding feeding, loafing, and roosting habitat capable of holding multiple duck species throughout the season.
Beyond waterfowl, the property delivers world-class turkey hunting within its expansive bottomland hardwoods, along with consistently strong whitetail deer hunting supported by a mosaic of upland pine, hardwood bottoms, and managed corridors. A centrally located 5± acre dove field has historically produced strong flights and comfortably accommodates up to ten hunters, making it ideal for social hunts and early-season gatherings.
Approximately 100± acres of upland pine plantation provide both current timber value and future habitat opportunity. With a prescribed fire program and targeted herbicide work, these uplands could be opened significantly to support a quality upland game program, including a release quail operation. The adjacent Bluelands Plantation — meticulously managed for quail, waterfowl, and deer — offers a clear blueprint for what thoughtful stewardship in this corridor can achieve.
Twin Road is further enhanced by excellent infrastructure, including a meticulously maintained internal road system with a full perimeter road, flashboard riser water control structures throughout, an existing concrete pad suitable for a shop or equipment building, and a conservation easement that permits a 2± acre cabin or lodge site. A large neighboring timber tract provides long-term privacy, security, and habitat continuity.
Twin Road qualifies as an exceptional Social Storm® property, combining elite recreational value, passive natural resources, and long-term asset security.
Conveniently situated just 30 minutes from Columbia, 13 minutes from Historic Camden, and approximately an hour and a half from Charlotte, North Carolina, this property represents a rare combination of expertly designed waterfowl habitat, uncommon South Carolina flooded timber hunting, and exceptional deer and turkey hunting in a prime location.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a legacy-quality sporting property in one of South Carolina’s most proven and tightly held waterfowl neighborhoods — a place where thoughtful management, natural water, and elite habitat converge.

From murky farm ponds to pristine glacier-cut lakes and everything in between, Knox Daniels’ expertise stems from a lifelong fascination of water and the creatures that live in and around it. He recognizes and helps clients appreciate the value water features bring to a property. “My goal is to help buyers realize and sellers maximize the value different water bodies bring to a property, not only in a recreational sense, but also for social storm reasons.” After extensively traveling the country for collegiate BASS fishing tournaments, Knox graduated and worked for the Southeast’s finest fisheries and wildlife biologist, Greg Grimes. With Grimes’ company, AES, Knox managed many of the southeast’s finest private lake estate/impoundment properties, and learned the intricacies of upscale property management. Learning from Greg and other biologists, Knox honed in on the specific conditions and habitat needed for optimal gamefish growth in private lakes. He has also worked as a property manager on several thousand acres and for a commercial developer, facilitating the dirt work and builds of several apartment complexes, but his true passion has always been in the outdoors. “I’ve always had an insatiable fascination with ponds/lakes and am grateful to be able to help to place clients on the properties of their dreams and make their personal fisheries/wildlife goals reality with JKA.” – Knox Daniels
Jason has been assisting landowners for the last 28 years in Georgia and South Carolina obtain achievements the owners did not realize were possible. His degree in Biology from Georgia Southern stemmed from the desire to know how things in nature work. His plantation roots began at just 16 years old outside of Albany, GA and the last 20 years were spent in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. His entire career has been spent developing a global approach to plantation management. That plan included sales. Sales is in Jason’s blood- his mom had a 45-year career as a real estate broker. After college, he chose to pursue his passion of making properties great. In 2011, Jason sold his first plantation. Since then, he has assisted buyers and sellers with over $20 million in sales while most of that time working as a full-time General Manager of a large Lowcountry plantation. Today, he is committed to using his unique skill set and experience to guide landowners through the many challenges of plantation ownership.

Hailing from a long line of outdoorsmen, Tim learned a great deal from his father and grandfather. He saw first-hand what it means to be a good land steward. He believes land is so much more than a place to hunt, fish, and grow timber or crops. “It’s an identity, a resting place, a safe haven and a way of life, said Tim.” Tim’s family ties to Alabama run deep. During his grandfather’s first term, Governor James was responsible for signing into law Alabama’s first state duck stamp which helped to ensure funding for the procurement, development, and preservation of wetlands for migratory waterfowl habitat. He also established Alabama’s lifetime hunting license, so it is no surprise that Tim is an avid outdoorsman with a keen eye as to how best to improve habitat for the greater good of its wildlife.
With Madison County roots, Lori grew up on her family farm at Pettis Springs along the historic Aucilla River. A love of the land was instilled in Lori very early on by her father who was a local farmer. Lori understands the importance of good land stewardship and has witnessed first-hand how her own father, a former 2-term member of the Florida House of Representatives whose district encompassed many rural counties of the Red Hills Plantation Region, with a little bit of sweat equity, so lovingly worked their own family land. These are core values she carries with her today, and nothing gives her more personal satisfaction than to represent some of the south’s best land stewards.
