MLS# SA363351 • Listed August 25, 2026
Inside, warm hardwood floors, crown molding, and a classic brick archway open the dining room to the living space, with a brick wood-burning fireplace anchoring the room. The island kitchen flows through French doors into an enormous vaulted sunroom with a skylight — a blank canvas for a kitchen expansion, a great room, or an in-law suite.
Bedrooms are split between both levels, so everyone gets their own retreat. Out back, the detached 40×30 (approximately 1,200 square foot) steel workshop with a roll-up door, plus an attached carport and covered parking, gives you room for trucks, trailers, equipment, or a business. The parcel also sits within Effingham County’s Commercial Corridor Overlay, which adds rare future flexibility.
The house, the land, and the shop.
Land, a shop, and no HOA — three things that are getting hard to find this close to Highway 21.
Most of what is being built in Rincon right now sits on a quarter acre or less, inside a covenanted subdivision, with a two-car garage and a monthly HOA payment. This piece of Rincon acreage is the opposite of that. At 1.63 acres across two parcels, with no HOA and no covenants, you get room to park a boat, run a trailer up the drive, keep a workshop humming, or simply have neighbors you cannot see from the porch.
The 40×30 shop is what sets this listing apart. At roughly 1,200 square feet with a roll-up door, it is genuinely usable space for contractors, woodworkers, mechanics, makers, or anyone who has outgrown a garage. Combined with the AR-2 zoning and the Commercial Corridor Overlay the parcel falls within, it gives an owner real flexibility down the road — something a lot in a new subdivision simply cannot offer. If you are weighing this kind of property against building a shop later, our guide to homes with shops in Effingham County breaks down what that build actually costs.
The house itself is honest about where it is: a well-kept 1975 Cape Cod with good bones, hardwood floors, crown molding, and a kitchen that is dated but sits right next to an enormous vaulted sunroom. For a buyer who wants to build equity rather than pay for someone else’s finish package, that combination — solid structure, big flexible space, and real land — is the whole opportunity.
Small-town Effingham with Savannah, Gulfstream, the ports, and Hyundai all inside a commute.
Rincon sits at the southern end of Effingham County, close enough to Savannah that the drive is routine and far enough out that the pace is different. From Grace Lane it is about 2.6 miles back down Fort Howard Road to Highway 21, where Kroger, Lowe’s, and the bulk of Rincon’s everyday shopping and restaurants are clustered. Lost Plantation Golf Club is a few minutes further on.
The commute is what has been driving Effingham’s growth. Downtown Savannah, the Savannah/Hilton Head airport, Gulfstream, and the Georgia Ports Authority terminals are all a straightforward run down Highway 21 or across through Port Wentworth. The Hyundai Metaplant corridor along I-16 in Bryan County pulled a wave of new demand into the whole region, and Effingham has absorbed a good share of it — which is exactly why unrestricted acreage inside Rincon’s city orbit keeps getting scarcer.
What you trade for that is subdivision polish. This is well-and-septic country with big trees, quiet roads, and neighbors who mind their own business. For a lot of buyers, that is the point — and unrestricted Rincon acreage this close to Highway 21 does not come back around often.
