Hammond’s Ferry’s homes have historic charm on the Savannah River

Resting beside the Savannah River, Hammond’s Ferry is filled with homes that feel historic, but were all built in the 21st century. “It’s a unique neighborhood,” says Tera Velasco, a Realtor with Meybohm Real Estate. “There are not a lot of homes that go on the market there, and when they do they go very fast. People are drawn to the beauty of the old-style houses and the landscaping. There are little boutiques and restaurants down there. It’s like its own little town.”

Recreation includes the Savannah River, Greeneway Trail and baseball

Outdoor options abound in Hammond’s Ferry. You can launch your kayak from the nearby Riverview Park boat ramp on Hammonds Ferry Road and paddle the Savannah River, which serves as the dividing line between South Carolina and Georgia. The 12-mile North Augusta Greeneway, which partially runs along the river, is a popular spot for walkers, joggers, bikers and bird watchers alike. The greenway cuts through the neighborhood’s Boeckh Park, where you can fish from the dock or have a picnic supper while watching the sunset over the river.

Another popular pastime is catching an Augusta GreenJackets baseball game. The Minor League team’s home games take place at the nearby SRP Park from April to September. Music concerts regularly take place at the 4,500-seat venue. “Hammond’s Ferry is a great place for anyone, but especially young families and retirees,” Velasco says. “Young families enjoy the access to shops, the greenway and the baseball park and so do the retirees. It’s a quiet neighborhood. It’s very quaint.”
