South Carolina Waterfront Homes for Sale

Waterfront Homes in South Carolina

South Carolina is located in southeast United States. Three geographic regions cover the state. The Atlantic Coastal Plain (or the South Carolina Low Country) extends west from the Atlantic Ocean. The Atlantic Coastal Plains are swampy, flat and marked by rivers near the coast. The Coastal Plains are forested and lined with sandy hills as you move inland. The higher elevations and rolling hills of the Piedmont are located northwest of the Atlantic Coastal Plain. The more low-lying Blue Ridge Mountains cross northwest South Carolina with elevations reaching 3,000 ft.

South Carolina's economy is historically based on agriculture. Tobacco, poultry, cattle, dairy, soybeans and hogs are important agricultural products. Growth of the textile industry met an ill fate in the 1920s with the appearance of the boll weevil--sending many African Americans north in search of work. Textile and clothing industries are based in Piedmont and continue to be an important industry to the State, along with chemical products, paper products, machinery and tourism.

The property is permitted to build a new 3-car garage with ADU above, should you wish to expand. The back yard’s lawn is so luscious the current owners even play golf on it! An in-ground irrigation system makes care easy. From here, a short Ipe boardwalk takes you to your private dock. Relax on the 40’x20’ covered pier head and enjoy the waterway’s beauty, as shore birds and dolphins pass by. James Island County Park is directly across the Stono, so your natural view will never be disturbed by development. An aluminum gangway connects to your 386 sqft floating wood dock with boat lift as well as a drive-on floating dock to take your boat or jet ski completely out of the water when not in use. The dock can accommodate any size vessel from a catamaran to a sailboat, has deep water even at low tide, and there are no bridge restrictions. You have a marina for fuel nearby as well as several restaurants accessible by boat, making 2287 Shoreline Drive the ideal water-lover’s sanctuary. The proximity to Charleston, private lot, stunning views, large home, and water access combine to create a truly unbeatable Lowcountry lifestyle. Shoreline Farms is a private retreat with a rural feel, offering the perfect blend of peaceful living and convenient access to the Charleston area. The neighborhood is known for its serene and picturesque setting, characterized by spacious lots with lush, mature landscaping. Direct access to the Stono River makes it a haven for those who appreciate nature and outdoor activities. The Stono (which flows through the Intracoastal Waterway or the Wadmalaw River to the Atlantic Ocean) offers opportunities for boating, kayaking, and fishing, along with stunning waterfront views – especially at sunrise and sunset. A private dock, walking trails, and picnic areas foster a sense of community among homeowners. Johns Island, in turn, is home to numerous parks, trails, recreational activities, and natural attractions -- most famously the 400-year-old Angel Oak Tree. It also boasts a burgeoning food scene, with local farms supplying fresh produce to nearby restaurants as part of the farm-to-table movement. Shoreline Farms is a short drive up River Road to Maybank Highway, and from there to James Island, downtown Charleston, or West Ashley. In the other direction lie Wadmalaw, Kiawah, and Seabrook Islands. Johns Island balances both the quiet and vibrant sides of the lifestyle available in the South Carolina Lowcountry.
