This is also a popular choice for Columbia’s real estate buyers. A private pond or private lake is ideal for those that live in suburban areas like Blythewood, Chapin, Lexington, Camden, etc. These properties often have more land and appealing to the avid fisherman that wants to develop their own quiet fishing spot without having to share their favorite fishing spot. Even if you aren’t a “fisherman”, private ponds and lakes are a great source for wildlife and creating an ecosystem for fish, birds, and animals can be rewarding. Waterfrontage will likely determine the size of the lake, so you can probably adjust the value of these properties by guessing that more waterfrontage equals a larger body of water, which equals more money. Additionally, with an ongoing placement of new regulations from DHEC and/or the Corp of Engineers these are becoming less common… and highly desired. Although you may not find any “private lake” or “Private Pond” properties in the listing search, they are out there. It’s a good idea to talk to a real estate agent about this and allow them to represent you in this search. We do this often because of our strong background in land sales and development. Buyers often ask us to find them property like these and sellers often give us a hint that they are looking to sell without “listing” the property. So if you can’t find acreage with a private pond for sale in Columbia, sign a buyers agency agreement with us a week, 2 weeks, or longer and let us do the work for you. It’s what we do.
