Historic Schoolhouse Turned Into a Rural Retreat and Income Producer, Chesterfield, SC
Step into history with this remarkable 1930s schoolhouse, lovingly restored and transformed into “The Schoolhouse” — an active short-term rental with a proven rental history. Nestled on a peaceful 2-acre lot, this unique property offers a harmonious blend of rustic charm and modern convenience, perfect for anyone seeking a private retreat or an income-generating venture.
Ideally located just minutes from Chesterfield, “The Schoolhouse” provides easy access to shopping, dining, schools, and healthcare while maintaining a quiet, rural ambiance. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the proximity to Club MX, a world-class motocross facility, as well as miles of horseback riding trails throughout Chesterfield County. Golf locally at Green River Country Club, or enjoy outdoor adventures at nearby Carolina National Wildlife Refuge and Sandhills State Forest.
For a day trip, you’re only about an hour from both the Charlotte Metro area and Columbia, making this location ideal for guests or homeowners alike. And the beautiful Carolina beaches are within a two-hour drive, offering plenty of weekend getaway options.
Originally built as Wamble Hill School, this property retains much of its historic appeal with tall windows, original hardwood floors, and a classic schoolhouse layout. The property underwent a thoughtful renovation in 2020, blending its nostalgic features with modern upgrades, including new electrical and plumbing systems, energy-efficient windows, and two ductless heating/cooling units to ensure year-round comfort and energy savings.
The open-concept living and dining area provides a spacious environment, perfect for hosting guests or enjoying cozy evenings. The 2020 addition includes a large bedroom and private bath, seamlessly blending with the home’s original structure. These updates provide modern comfort without sacrificing any of the property’s historical integrity.
Surrounded by lush greenery and mature trees, the expansive 2-acre lot offers ample space for outdoor activities, gardening, or even further expansion. You’ll love sipping coffee on the covered front porch or relaxing on the side porch, both offering peaceful views of the surrounding landscape. A detached garage and storage building offer added convenience and functionality.
Additional modern conveniences include on-demand water heaters and board-and-batten siding, added during the 2020 renovation. While the original roofline remains, maintaining the schoolhouse’s iconic look, blown attic insulation helps regulate temperatures and enhance energy efficiency. The new metal roof on the addition adds both durability and a sleek touch to the overall structure.
Whether you’re looking to continue operating this charming property as a short-term rental or dreaming of making it your personal residence, “The Schoolhouse” offers endless possibilities. Its proximity to outdoor recreational areas, equestrian facilities, and charming small towns makes it a desirable destination for visitors, while the established rental history proves its value as a turnkey investment.
This property is more than just a home; it’s a slice of history with a bright future. Whether you’re an investor seeking a unique income-producing property, a family looking for a one-of-a-kind home, or someone passionate about preserving historical gems, this property deserves a look.
