The Murdaugh family’s Moselle property has been sold, subdivided, heavily renovated, and repeatedly put back on the market since the murders there in 2021.

What Happened to the Murdaugh Property?

Quick timeline

  • The Moselle estate in Islandton, South Carolina, is where Maggie and Paul Murdaugh were murdered in June 2021.
  • In March 2023, the entire 1,700+ acre hunting property sold for about $3.9 million to two local businessmen, James Ayer and Jeffrey Godley.
  • Those buyers then subdivided the land, carving off the main house and roughly 20–21 acres from the larger acreage.

Subsequent sales and auctions

  • After subdivision, the primary residence and surrounding acres were listed around $1.95 million but struggled to sell and eventually went to online auction.
  • Around early 2024, the house plus roughly 21 acres went under contract/auction for about $1 million , with plans to turn Moselle into a horse farm or equestrian-style property.
  • Reports note that the broader property was marketed as suitable for equestrian pursuits, hobby farming, or as a secluded retreat.

Renovations and current status

  • A buyer identified as Alex (Alexander) Blair purchased a large portion of the property (around 48 acres tied to the residence) for about $1–1.16 million in 2024.
  • Blair began major renovations , including redoing the main living areas, kitchen, fireplace, and overall interior, saying Moselle would look “completely different” within months.
  • The renovated home was re-listed for about $2.75 million in December 2024, later removed, and then re-listed around $2.2 million in 2025 as more of a farm-style property.
  • As of early 2026, real estate coverage says the property has been taken off the market again , after multiple relistings and price changes.

How it looks and is used now

  • The house and immediate acreage are described as heavily updated and almost unrecognizable compared to when the Murdaughs lived there, due to extensive renovations by the new owner.
  • Different parts of the original 1,700+ acres remain in separate hands; some parcels are held as land, while the core residence parcel has cycled through listings as a residence, farm, or potential horse facility.

Why it keeps making the news

  • The combination of:
    • High-profile double murder,
    • A large Southern hunting estate with river frontage and kennels,
    • Multiple sales, auctions, and price cuts, and
    • Heavy renovations and shifting “uses” (family home, farm, possible horse operation)
      keeps Moselle in true-crime and real-estate news cycles.

TL;DR: The Murdaugh Moselle property was sold out of the family, split up, auctioned, renovated, repeatedly relisted (from about $1M to the low-$2M range), and as of 2026 has been taken off the market again after several failed sales attempts and a push to reposition it as a renovated farm/horse- type estate.
