Twin Roads

From Black Ducks to Mallards, This is One of the Most Unique Waterfowl Properties in South Carolina - Managed Green-tree Reservoir and Floodable Duck Pond

Situated along the renowned Wateree River corridor, Twin Roads represents one of the most compelling waterfowl and multi-species sporting properties in South Carolina. Spanning 906± acres in Kershaw County, the property lies within an elite neighborhood of legacy sporting lands — including the renowned Bluelands Plantation and Mulberry Plantation — that together define one of the most productive waterfowl corridors in the Palmetto State.

The current owners know this ground as well as anyone alive. They leased properties around it for years before it ever came available — and when it did, they didn't hesitate.

"We've known about this property for all of our adult lives — how special this place was. We leased property around it for years and years before it came up for sale, and when it came up for sale, we bought it. Couldn't afford it then, but we bought it." - Landowner, Twin Roads

What followed was decades of disciplined, passionate stewardship. The result is a property that is not simply well-managed — it is exceptional in every measurable way.

Water. The Way Nature Intended.

At its core, Twin Roads is defined by water. Positioned within a productive Atlantic Flyway and supported by an exceptional habitat system, the property consistently holds strong numbers of puddle ducks — including mallards and black ducks — throughout the season.

What truly separates Twin Roads from most comparable properties in the region is its rare passive gravity-fed water system. Gillie's Creek, a 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.

"There's a tributary that comes off the Wateree River called Gillie'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

"It's all gravity fed. We draw out of a creek that never dries up through a series of riser pipes. We've got about 35 to 40 acres that we keep water in year round. Typically with a one to two inch rain, we can fill it up in four to five days. You've got no pumps, no electricity — and occasionally you've got to fight a beaver — but it's pretty much free to fill up and maintain." - Landowner, Twin Roads

For serious waterfowl managers, this is an uncommon advantage that dramatically reduces operating costs while producing exceptional habitat.

The Hunting

The owners describe the system with the quiet confidence of men who have worked it for a generation:

The wildlife profile at Twin Roads is exceptional across every season. Waterfowl hunting ranks among the finest on the Wateree, supported by a diverse system that includes a 38± acre managed impoundment complemented by more than 100± acres of flooded hardwood timber and buckbrush. A tupelo reserve totaling approximately 25± acres further enhances the habitat, creating outstanding feeding, loafing, and roosting opportunities capable of holding multiple duck species throughout the season.

The flooded timber experience here is unlike anything most South Carolina hunters have encountered.

"We've got 45 acres of flooded green timber that we control and it is a sight to behold when those ducks come tipping down through those trees. In total we have about 130 to 150 acres underwater during duck season — flooded corn, buckbrush, tupelo swamp, black gum, and natural holes." - Landowner, Twin Roads

This is not a typical South Carolina impoundment hunt. There are no permanent blinds. The ducks move, and hunters move with them — scouting days in advance, reading the birds, hunting timber the way it was done in Arkansas a generation ago.

"We scout a couple of days before and see where the ducks are — that's where we go. We're standing in the timber without blinds. It's like old-style Mississippi Delta, Arkansas-type hunting." - Landowner, Twin Roads

The diversity of species is what ultimately defines the experience here. The owners have harvested up to 11 different duck species in a single hunt — mallards, gadwall, teal, black ducks, pintails, and more.

"The beauty of this place is just the variety of species. At one point we killed 11 different species in one hunt. I would dare say the biggest roost in the central part of South Carolina is right across the dirt road within 600 yards from us — and it is a sight to watch when the ducks are in the area. Ducks coming from 360 degrees and diving straight in. It's amazing." - Landowner, Twin Roads

The property's legacy as a waterfowl destination runs deep. It is believed to be among the first — if not the first — inland impoundments of its kind in South Carolina, and its reputation has only grown.

"It set the bar for the state as far as impoundments go, especially in that Wateree basin." - Landowner, Twin Roads

Beyond the Duck Blind

While waterfowl hunting is the centerpiece, Twin Roads offers exceptional recreation year-round. Expansive bottomland hardwoods support world-class turkey hunting — with gobblers so accustomed to careful stewardship that the owners describe encounters that most hunters simply never experience.

"On one of those perfect spring mornings, you can hear five to ten gobblers. In January and February, from our gate to the back is maybe 700 yards — and on numerous occasions you can see three flocks of 40-plus birds in that drive. Separated. Different flocks." - Landowner, Twin Roads

A mix of upland pine and uniformly distributed food plots sustains strong populations of whitetail deer. The area is capable of growing trophy-class animals, with a 152-inch buck being the largest taken by the current owners. Reduced hunting pressure on neighboring tracts in recent years has only accelerated antler development across the corridor.

"A new person bought the property across the road and leased to one guy. The pressure on the deer is minimal — and you can tell it within two years. The antlers are getting bigger, the body sizes are getting bigger." - Landowner, Twin Roads

A centrally located 5± acre dove field provides additional seasonal opportunity and comfortably accommodates social hunts and early-season gatherings.

The Uplands

Approximately 100± acres of well-stocked upland pine provide an immediate opportunity for a thinning to create high-quality habitat. With a prescribed fire program and targeted herbicide work, these uplands could be further enhanced to support a quality upland game program, including a release quail operation. The adjacent Bluelands Plantation — meticulously managed for quail, waterfowl, and deer — demonstrates the clear blueprint for what thoughtful stewardship in this corridor can achieve.

The owners see the potential clearly:

"There's 70 acres on there that could be mulched and it could make phenomenal quail habitat — big pines, open understory. That's what I would change. We'd mulch the pine stands, plant broom sage, and quail hunt, even if it was released birds." - Landowner, Twin Roads

Infrastructure and Security

Twin Roads 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 at the highest point on the property.

Security is exceptional. The property sits within a private, gated community of five landowners — all known to one another, all looking out for each other's land.

"There's five landowners behind a remote control gate at the highway. Everybody looks out for everybody. We all get along well — in fact, we don't even lock our gate because of the security of the remote gate at the highway." - Landowner, Twin Roads

The conservation easement has proven to be a seamless part of ownership rather than a burden:

"We've had no issues whatsoever. The USDA will work with you if you come up with a reasonable plan that benefits the land and the wildlife. They're very open to amending that plan — and they have done it for us on several occasions. If you stay within the parameters and don't do anything stupid, it's been a joy to deal with them actually." - Landowner, Twin Roads

A Place That Changes You

The numbers and habitat features tell a compelling story. But the owners — men who have hunted Argentina, competed in national field trials, and spent a lifetime on exceptional properties — speak about Twin Roads in a different register entirely.

"You can't quantify it. It is a piece of heaven. When you get there and you see that once-in-a-year sunrise coming up over the impoundment and over the trees, and your heart is at ease — it is a special feeling. When you come through that gate, all the world's problems are gone. You take a deep breath, your blood pressure drops, and you just look around. I catch myself multiple times just saying: thank you, God. Thank you, Lord." - Landowner, Twin Roads

"It's made me a better person. It literally has made me a better person. It's made me a better family guy. How blessed are we to have something like this?" - Landowner, Twin Roads

These are not the words of sellers eager to move on. They are the words of stewards passing something sacred to the next family worthy of it.

"Take care of it first — and then enjoy it. Take care of the animals, take care of what God gave us. We've tried to be as good stewards as we could be. We've enjoyed it immensely. It's got to the point where it's time to let somebody else enjoy it." - Landowner, Twin Roads
