Market Data as of October 2026

Sales in Chestnut Hill Plantation include both resales of established single-family homes and recent new-construction townhome sales at The Point, so a single neighborhood average can be misleading. Call The Patrick O'Connor Team at 803-243-0224 and we'll pull the most recent recorded sales for the section and home type you're considering.

Community details on this page come from Richland County public property and map records, the Chestnut Hill Plantation HOA's community website, builder information for The Point, and the Lexington-Richland School District Five school zone locator, checked October 8, 2026. For broader Irmo-area market context, see our Irmo SC home value guide and Irmo home selling guide. Ask us for current association documents, dues, and the latest comparable sales.

Types of Homes

Most of Chestnut Hill Plantation is single-family homes built from the mid-1990s through the late 2000s, with a handful of later additions. Homes range from one-story plans to two-story and some three-story designs, and each named section has its own streets and character.

The Point at Chestnut Hill Plantation is the newest section: a group of townhomes along Winding Chestnut Drive built in 2025 and 2026 by Lennar and Executive Construction Homes. Lennar lists its townhome community there as sold out. Ask us what is still available from the builder and what has come back as a resale.

Neighborhood Amenities

According to the HOA's community website, the community's clubhouse complex on Lost Creek Drive includes a furnished clubhouse residents can rent, a junior Olympic-size pool with a separate children's wading pool, four lighted tennis and pickleball courts, a fenced playground, open lawns and a field, and several ponds. The HOA also describes walking paths along the main roads, natural hiking trails that run through the woods and along the Broad River, and a private, resident-only lake with a boat ramp, pier, and covered gazebo.

The Point has its own owners association. Builder listings there say the townhome association covers lawn care, roof maintenance, exterior pressure washing, and internet service, and describe access to the community amenities. Ask us for current documents from both associations, the current dues, and how amenity access works for the specific home you're considering. The Chestnut Hill Plantation HOA posts its current dues on its website.

Shopping, Dining, and Recreation

Chestnut Hill Plantation is close to the Harbison Boulevard shopping and dining area and to Irmo, and it sits near Harbison State Forest for hiking and mountain biking. For Lake Murray days, our Lake Murray boat ramps and access guide lists public and private launch options around the lake. Tell us what you want close by and we'll show you the options.

Waterfront Homes

Chestnut Hill Plantation is not a Lake Murray neighborhood, and we don't market homes here as waterfront. According to the HOA's community website, residents have access to a private lake inside the community — stocked for fishing, with a boat ramp, pier, and covered gazebo — plus several ponds around the clubhouse. Some homes may back up to ponds, woods, or shared green space; we'll confirm the setting for any specific address.

Lake Murray Access

Lake Murray is not part of the neighborhood, but it's within reach through Irmo, and our Lake Murray boat ramps and access guide covers public and private launch options. Closer to home, the HOA describes a private road from the clubhouse complex down to a resident boat ramp on the Broad River, with parking for trailers. Ask us how access works for the home you're considering.
