south carolina cities

Those hoping to invest in land in rural South Carolina really are in luck. Most of the Hurdle Land & Realty inventory is located in Laurens, SC, which is conveniently located between Spartanburg and Columbia off of Interstate 26. That means any farms automatically come with a pile of big-city fun in either direction. What could you get into on a weekend in either of these two cities? Here’s a quick look:

Spartanburg

The Spartanburg Art Museum is a great place to start your weekend of fun. The museum features a permanent collection with work by Francois Jacquemin, Margaret Law, and others. The museum also hosts collections from around the world in special exhibits. A quick check of the calendar will tell you what to watch for.

Anyone who gets a chance should also catch a Clemson game—any sport will do. Football, basketball, and baseball are a way of life for the athletes at Clemson, and they’ll pass that enthusiasm on to you. After the game, stop by The Beacon for legendary burgers, fries, milkshakes, and sweet tea.

Spartanburg is also home to the RJ Rockers Brewing Company. Tours are all part of the fun on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Learn how one of the best microbreweries in the south grew their success with beers like Son of a Peach, Peachy King, and Witty Twister.

Columbia

If you’re looking for a more intense museum experience, Columbia features the state museum. In addition to art, the SCSM also features history, science, music, and astronomy exhibits. Many are permanent fixtures that you can visit all the time, while others are rotating or special exhibits with a time limit.

Sports fans can get their fix at Gamecocks games at USC all year long, too. Right now, it’s baseball season, but the fall and winter will bring football and basketball once more. The University of South Carolina is known for producing excellent athletes, so you’re guaranteed a good game every time.

If the kids are with you, the Riverbanks Zoo is a great way to spend the day. In addition to majestic animals large and small, you can enjoy an aquarium and lush gardens with rare plants and flowers.

This isn’t even a small percentage of the fun you could have on the weekends after buying your land in Laurens, SC, but it’s a good start. If you’re craving some peace and quiet without giving up your fun-filled weekends, give us a call.
