This extraordinary 6-acre estate offers the perfect blend of rural tranquility and modern convenience, just minutes from Johns Island's renowned restaurants and shopping. Designed for those who cherish privacy, nature, and self-sustainability, this custom-built sanctuary is a rare gem in Charleston's real estate landscape.

Energy efficiency is paramount, with closed-cell spray foam insulation ensuring year-round comfort. Elevated on a pier and beam foundation over concrete, this home is built to stand the test of time. Underground power lines further enhance the property's clean aesthetic and reliability.

With two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a separate utility and laundry room with a utility sink, the layout is as practical as it is inviting. Beyond the home, the estate's outdoor offerings are unparalleled. A massive 800-square-foot deck, custom fire pit, and hot tub invite you to relax while overlooking one of two serene, stocked ponds. One of the ponds is naturally fed by an underground spring, ensuring pristine water year-round. For the avid outdoorsman, a custom walk-up tree stand provides an elevated retreat for hunting or simply observing the abundant wildlife, and a dedicated road leading all the way to the tree stand allows for easy vehicle access. The property is truly self-sustaining, featuring a septic system, private well, irrigated vegetable gardens, and ample land to live off of. A huge attached two-car garage with an attached workshop complete with electricity and plumbing offers versatility, while the heated and cooled bonus room above features a sliding glass door leading to a private porch, perfect for a secluded retreat. A charming loft above the garage adds additional space, and an 8x12 outbuilding with electricity and a second floor offers potential for conversion into an ADU.
