0 Reverend JW Carter Road , Manning, SC 29102(Clarendon County)

Located off exit 115 on I-95 near Summerton, South Carolina, and only 13 miles from Lake Marion, this exceptional 1,172 acre sporting property represents one of the region’s finest turnkey wild quail hunting properties. Perfectly situated, this rare property offers unmatched accessibility, paired with the privacy, scale, and habitat quality expected of an actual upland-bird property. Years of thoughtful management, significant investment, and a deep commitment to managing the perfect habitat have shaped this landscape into a premier wild bird haven. The property features the ideal cover types, a well-designed internal road and course system, and expansive stands of native warm-season grasses and managed forest providing ideal structure for bobwhite quail, turkey, and a diversity of upland wildlife. The quail on the property are 100% wild, and hunters have consistently pushed 4-5 coveys per hour on an average hunt.

Native grasses, including Big Bluestem, Little Bluestem, Indian Grass, and Broomsedge, are abundant throughout the property. These essential bunch grasses create early-successional structure, offering critical nesting, brooding, and escape cover that supports healthy, naturally sustaining quail populations. Forbs, including ragweed and partridge pea, are in abundance and can be found throughout the landscape. The abundance of wild birds is a hallmark of the property’s quality and value, setting it apart from other quail hunting properties that typically rely on early-release pen-raised birds.

The landscape is further elevated by its high-quality, well-drained soil types, which are not only rare but essential for maintaining its historically productive quail habitat. Few properties combine this scale, soil profile, and habitat diversity, making it an exceptional and rare offering in today’s market. Improvements include equipment sheds, dog kennels, a sizable fresh water pond, a well, and electrical utilities.

The property is truly turnkey, with a thoughtfully planned infrastructure network that ensures seamless accessibility across the entire acreage. A wonderful internal road system connects 400 +/- acres of fields, with buffer zones around the edges creating transitional zones, feeding strips, and escape cover, allowing for enjoyable and effective hunting.

With its sizable footprint, outstanding habitat, natural bird population, and strategic location in the heart of Clarendon County, this offering stands as a rare opportunity to acquire a premier sporting property that is ready for immediate enjoyment and long-term stewardship.

As an avid bird hunter and manager of upland bird habitat, I can personally attest that Davis Station stands out as one of the finest quail properties I have ever had the opportunity to observe. The quality and abundance of the habitat are truly exceptional.

The value of this property extends far beyond what is on the surface and what you can see. Besides the capital investment it would take to duplicate what is here, and what is even more invaluable, is the amount of time it would take to replicate it. These properties don't evolve over one or two years! Even starting with a perfect natural landscape, it would realistically take a decade or more of intensive management to replicate what Davis Station is today. There's not another property available in this region that can compare; this is truly a rare opportunity if you are a wild bird hunter. - Todd Crosby, BIC.
