Ranch Description
Gillon's RetreatGully Horn Spring TrailSt. Matthews, SC 29135
Gillon's Retreat encompasses 82.8 acres perched above the Cowasee Basin of the South Congaree River, offering a rare combination of recreational appeal and historical significance. The property derives its name from Commodore Alexander Gillon, who once occupied the land and built a residence atop the prominent high bluff overlooking the basin.
Approximately three acres within the tract are owned by the SC Battleground Preservation Trust and are accessed via a shared, well-maintained 40' wide easement leading to the Gillon family cemetery. This easement provides convenient and reliable access through the property.
Secluded along Gully Horn Spring Trail, the land features gently rising topography from the entrance to the elevated hilltop at the rear of the tract. This elevated site provides an ideal setting for a weekend retreat or permanent residence, offering the potential for scenic, long-range views across the Cowasee Basin. Despite its proximity to the river basin, only a minimal portion of the acreage lies within the floodplain, maximizing usable land for hunting, recreation, or future improvements.
Gillon's Retreat presents outstanding potential for outdoor recreation, conservation, or private use, all while being just a short drive from Columbia-making it a truly unique opportunity where history, privacy, and natural beauty converge.
