Fennell Hill is a part of Buckfield Plantation and one of four properties available.

The property is located south of Yemassee, a small country town on Interstate 95. The area is noted for its historic plantations, timber production, hunting lands, and rivers and streams along the Atlantic Ocean. Yemassee is between Charleston, Savannah, the beaches and golf courses of Hilton Head, and the beautiful coastal town of Beaufort.

Although Fennell Hill is presently used for timber and hunting, it has substantial frontage on both sides of Interstate I-95 and at the intersection of the Charleston Savannah HWY 17 on Exit 33.

The CSX Rail Line in Yemassee is home to the Amtrak Station, which serves as the principal rail access point in the Lowcountry region. Historically, northerners coming to hunt in the area got off the train in Yemassee.

Fennell Hill has potential as a mixed-use or industrial development and is suited for interim recreational use and timber production. 

The property has been professionally managed as a timber investment since purchased by the current owners in 2004. It should appeal to anyone wanting to own rural land in a growing neighborhood.

The economic growth for the market area for the next five years appears to be strong.  This growth potential is supported by the recent success of multiple industrial developments and the location along Interstate 95 and the CSX rail.

Hyundi Motors is building an electric vehicle plant near Savannah for $5.5 billion which will be the largest single economic development in Georgia's history and will employ 8100 workers. Suppliers, supporting companies and workers are arriving creating an economic boom in the area.

In the Ridgeville area several large-scale developments are expected to provide a significant economic impact to South Carolina; these include the $118 million expansion to the Volvo Plant for fully electric vehicles, the South Carolina Ports Authority purchased 940 acres in Ridgeville that is a planned industrial campus, and Wal-Mart has recently agreed to construct a $220 million distribution center, which will bring 1,000 full-time and local employees to the area.

The Nature Conservancy and The Open Space Institute partnered in a recent acquisition just west of Fennell Hill creating a 12,000-acre stretch of protected land in Hampton County. Most of this land was also part of Buckfield. The property has been transferred to the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources to become a 12,000-acre WMA (Wildlife Management Area) which will be open for public access. This conservation effort will bring a significant amount of recreational exposure to the immediate area.

The Buckfield properties are connected by road and rail to two of the busiest ports in the US.
