Deep in South Carolina’s Lowcountry sits Sheldon. This rural area of over 500 people has been populated since the 1700s, but it maintains a remote atmosphere. The few single-family residences are hidden among bald cypress trees and live oaks. While residents are spread out and have larger lots, there is a tight-knit community, and Sheldon has several gathering spaces for locals to enjoy.
Homes in Sheldon can range from $240,000 to $425,000. The predominant types of homes include ranch-styles and bungalows. Properties typically spend 39 days on the market, lower than the national average of 47. Multiple plots of land are also for sale. Teena Manzira, a broker with Flamelilly Real Estate Group, says much of Sheldon’s housing was constructed in the 1970s and 1980s; however, new builds have been completed as recently as 2024. The area can experience heavy storms and hurricanes, but Manzira notes that recent activity did not cause significant damage.

Several cultural and tourist destinations surround Sheldon, including the Old Sheldon Church ruins, north of the community. The church, which finished construction in the 1750s, was burned down first by British troops in the Revolutionary War and then by Union soldiers in the Civil War. It has remained a ruin since, but remains a popular site for weddings and photographers. The Oyotunji African Village is a cultural center to preserve and educate visitors about the culture and history of West Africa.
