±2.62 acres positioned at the corner of Lee Rd and Rice Creek Farms Rd, with additional access via Rice
Meadow Way, this rectangular parcel offers an efficient and highly usable development footprint with
minimal site work anticipated. A key value-add is the existing stabilized stormwater detention pond that is
already sized specifically for the tract, complete with a stub-out in place, substantially reducing upfront
infrastructure costs and accelerating development timelines. Zoned R-6 (Richland County), the property
supports a variety of residential uses including single-family detached, duplex, townhome, and multifamily
configurations (subject to county ordinance standards and approvals), allowing flexibility for multiple product
types in a market that continues to show steady housing demand.
The site is immediately adjacent to Rice Creek Village, a Publix-anchored retail center along the Hardscrabble
Road corridor that provides grocery, dining, and daily-needs shopping within minutes, an increasingly
important amenity driver for residential absorption. The surrounding Northeast Columbia submarket
continues to benefit from strong residential growth, expanding rooftops, and broader Richland County
economic momentum fueled by industrial expansion and regional job creation. The parcel is also located
within close proximity to established elementary, middle, and high schools serving the area, further
supporting long-term housing demand from families. Combined with nearby newer residential communities,
improving infrastructure, and sustained commercial investment, this offering represents a rare opportunity to
acquire well-positioned, development-ready land in one of Columbia’s most active and stable growth
corridors.
