1580 Terns Nest Road is a beautiful homesite that overlooks a peaceful saltwater lake in a quiet neighborhood on James Island. The property is just two miles from Folly Beach and its miles of beaches and lively social scene. It's also just 15 minutes from historic downtown Charleston! For day-to-day life, the homesite offers close proximity to the schools and conveniences that James Island offers. The neighborhood has no homeowners' association, which allows for flexibility with home design, landscaping and boat storage. With an elevated home design, the property could afford stunning expanses of tidal creek views and coastal breezes from across the street. Almost completely cleared, the property is ready with city water, sewage, and electric.
Rare opportunity to build your dream in the wonderful Riverfront community only 2 miles from Folly Beach and less then 15 minutes from downtown Charleston! Located on a small lake, you can drop a fishing line right in your backyard! Skip the traffic, and ride your bike to get your toes in the water, shop, dine, and experience everything that Folly has to offer right at your fingertips! Lot is ready for city water, sewage, and electric. Don't miss out on this beautiful piece of paradise!
