Want to open daylily nursery. Where? (Columbia, Camden: buy, pre-school, price)

[lalambchop]

Hi,

My family is thinking of moving to SC. My husband needs to be within an hour's drive or so from Columbia for work. I would like to open a small daylily nursery. I'm looking for an area in which we can buy a farm with 5 to 30 acres that will have really good schools for my pre-school son.

We would like to be near a charming small town but without the lack of amenities many small towns have. I was raised in the south and would like to find an area with that southern charm feel. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd like to find a place that has lots of civic things that in which we can participate with my little one.


Thanks for your time.

that's a tall order. There aren't many "small, charming small towns" that I've seen in SC. That sounds more like a New England type of thing.

But I guess you could try the Camden area, that's all that comes to mind. I would think that the upstate would have some decent options too, but I'm not as familiar with that area.

I would recommend the Edgefield/Johnston area (Edgefield County). There's plenty of land, and as a whole, it's much better priced than the city. It's about an hour from Columbia, less depending on the area you are in. Let me know if you need some more info.
