Soil and ground
FEMA flood maps show a mapped flood zone within about 0.3 mile of the town centre, and Little Buck Creek runs about 0.7 mile out. Mapped soils in the area are Cecil at 3 sampled points and Madison at 2; NRCS rates all 5 somewhat limited for septic absorption fields because of slow water movement. That is generalized survey data, not an evaluation of any property; individual lots differ, and every lot needs its own site evaluation.
Soil data: USDA NRCS Web Soil Survey. Housing data: US Census Bureau ACS.Homes here
The 2020 Census counted 417 housing units in Chesnee. In 2020-2024 ACS estimates the median home dates to about 1962, owners occupy about 54 percent of homes and mobile homes are about 21 percent. The before-1980 share carries a margin too wide to quote. Homes of that age often have records scattered across owners, so ask the seller or neighbors.
