Prince Bay Farm | building, place with historical importance

 building, house, place with historical importance

Located on the NC/SC border in the lower coastal plain, 30 miles NW of Myrtle Beach, SC, just outside a small rural town. 120+ acres of mixed pine/hardwood forest and fields, and a large 2-story farmhouse--the land has been in our family since 1827. Would like to get it back to the level of self-sufficiency of my great-grandparents' day.
The property has a small pond, lots of trails, fruit and nut trees, a dog, friendly barn cats, poultry, lots of wildlife, as well as a zone 8 growing season. Current projects include organic raised bed & regular veg gardening, mixed flower and herb gardens, exotic plants, permiculture, remodeling the 1880s farm house, pecan, blueberry and grape harvesting, chickens, geese, turkeys, pallet construction, bamboo harvesting/construction, trial clearing and maintenance, landscaping, composting and a small nursery. Open to trying any new ideas, and always have something going on. I have a library of 5k+ volumes, covering a myriad of topics, plus most friends refer to me as a walking encyclopedia. An old hippie from the Rainbow trail, I moved back to the Carolinas help my mom who has Alzheimer's, she lives on her own still but I look out for her. Still in the beginning stages of reshaping the property to self-sufficiency after a couple of decades of neglect. The farm contains a quail habitat conservation area, as well as Prince Bay, one of the many Carolina Bays that dot the southern coastal plain, a truly unique ecosystem.
