Unique Log Cabin & Guest House Sold in Days
How The Patrick O’Connor Team Sold This West Columbia Compound
Sold Home on Acreage West Columbia SC - Patrick O'Connor Team
The Situation
268 Shumpert Road offered a truly unique living setup with a two bedroom log cabin and a separate one bedroom guest house. This configuration added charm, flexibility, and multi generational potential, but also required a focused strategy to reach buyers specifically seeking a property with this type of layout. Beyond the structures, the appeal centered on privacy, acreage, and lifestyle, not the typical neighborhood experience.
The Strategy
We positioned the property as a private retreat on more than 5 acres, emphasizing the workshop, the usable land, and the freedom that comes with no HOA. Our marketing highlighted the lifestyle benefits rather than just the features. We then deployed targeted digital advertising to reach buyers actively searching for acreage, workshops, separate living quarters, and rural privacy in West Columbia. This ensured the listing was placed in front of the exact audience most likely to appreciate its unique value.
The Result
30,000 plus views: Our online marketing and social media campaigns delivered significant exposure.
Constant showing activity: The digital traffic quickly translated into steady in person interest.
Interest from multiple buyers: High demand created a competitive environment, allowing us to secure the strongest terms for the seller.
Most importantly, we identified the perfect buyer, someone who needed space for a large RV and valued having a separate guest house for an in law living arrangement. The right strategy matched the right buyer to the right property.
The Seller Review
“Patrick was easy to work with. He was energetic and very positive with my expectations on the property I was selling.
BIG Thank You!”

Upstairs, the owner’s suite provides exceptional space, great closets, and direct access to the room over the garage, ideal for a home office, gym, or conversion to a third bedroom or nursery. A second bedroom with built-ins and a nearby full bath completes the upper level.
The guest house sits across the driveway beside the workshop and features a deep front porch, spacious family room open to a full kitchen with eat-in area, pantry/storage room, and a large bedroom with oversized closet and full bath.
