About Pelion, SC
Pelion, SC is a small town in central Lexington County, located approximately 25 miles southwest of downtown Columbia and about 20 miles south of Lake Murray. The town sits along U.S. Highway 178, in a rural section of the county between Batesburg-Leesville to the west and Gaston to the east. Pelion’s geography is defined by gently rolling sand-hill terrain, agricultural fields, and pine forest typical of the central South Carolina sandhills.
According to U.S. Census Bureau data, the population of Pelion is approximately 600 residents, making it one of the smaller incorporated municipalities in Lexington County. Despite its small size, Pelion serves as a recognized identity center for a much larger rural community of surrounding farms and homesteads.
Named areas and communities in and around Pelion, SC include the historic town center along Pine Street and Magnolia Street, the Sawyerdale community to the north, Edmund to the east, Steedman to the southwest, and the Swansea-area communities to the south. Most residential property in the Pelion area consists of larger-acreage lots rather than dense subdivisions.
Economically, Pelion is shaped by agriculture, including peanut farming, peach production, and forestry, along with commuter traffic to employers in the Columbia metropolitan area. Major regional employers within commuting distance include Amazon’s Columbia-area facilities, Nephron Pharmaceuticals, the Savannah River Site, and the South Carolina state government complex.
Schools serving Pelion, SC are operated by Lexington County School District 3 (along with Lexington School District One depending on specific addresses), with Pelion-area students typically attending schools such as Pelion Elementary, Pelion Middle, and Pelion High School. (Note: families should confirm assignment by address with the appropriate district.)
Local features include the Pelion Community Park and the well-known South Carolina Peanut Party, an annual festival held each August since 1986 that celebrates the area’s peanut farming heritage with live music, a parade, peanut-themed food, contests, and a Peanut Party queen.
The housing market in Pelion, SC features older farmhouses, manufactured homes on acreage, and a small but growing number of newer rural subdivisions. Inherited farmland, aging owners on large rural parcels, and heirs living out of state are common reasons property owners in this area sometimes prefer a direct cash sale over a traditional listing.
Restoration Homes has been recognized as one of the leading cash home buyers in Pelion, having successfully purchased and sold hundreds of homes in South Carolina and its neighboring areas.
