Property Description

Located on the eastern edge of the Climax city limits, this history-packed property boasts incredible space and opportunity inside and outside. Constructed in 1909 as the Climax Grade School, this building has stood the test of time and transformed from a grade school to a community space where numerous church suppers were held along with group meetings, banquets, wedding receptions, birthday parties, and more. The property has currently been utilized for Climax City meetings and is now, for the first time in its history, available to purchase. The opportunity to revitalize the property for ongoing public events or create into one incredible lodge, residence, or more, the foundation has been laid with the details and craftsmanship of the 1900s still intact and well maintained, awaiting the new chapter. 

The original structure was built in 1909 and is the westerly section that holds 1,800 square feet of space and was two separate classrooms. The east addition was then added on in 1940 and created a needed additional classroom with 940 square feet of space. Throughout the building, the original hardwood floors create the space and are in fantastic condition. The chalkboards, built-in bookshelves, and large baseboard trim add additional appreciation to the craftsmanship that once was. There are two separate restrooms that are located in the middle of the building, in between the east and west sides. Just before going into the east addition, there is a storage space area with an open walking room that allows for an easy flow throughout. The addition was constructed in 1940, providing another classroom that was then updated to a full kitchen that fed hundreds at a time with local events. 

Over the years, the property has received necessary maintenance that has helped preserve it. The property is on Greenwood County Rural Water #1, Westar for electric, propane for heat, and city sewer. The outdoor space holds 1.8 +/- acres and is incredible, with an opportunity to expand the building, create a healthy parking lot, or leave it for open space. The property is deeded in two separate tracts with the Greenwood County Register of Deeds. The east and northeast sides of the building hold the basketball court and playground. 

With all the history and all of the opportunity this distinguished property holds, it truly is one to tour in person to appreciate all it is and all of the life it holds!
