A wildlife-lover's paradise! Nestled on 7.43 acres adjacent to Francis Marion Forest, this energy-efficient, custom-built home with modern flair is engineered to run off the grid and architecturally designed to embrace in the property's serene, natural surroundings. Inside the main level you will find brilliant hickory hardwood floors throughout. The kitchen features ceramic tile backsplash and gorgeous floor to ceiling cabinetry. The living area opens to dining area, which overlooks the back deck and wooded area. The entire space fills with light and outdoor ambience from surrounding windows. There are two spacious bedrooms and two full baths, plus a spectacular home office that overlooks the back of the house - the perfect spot for birdwatching or brainstorming.(The extensive built ins could also be removed to create a 3rd bedroom.) The owner's suite has its own private entry to the back deck, the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or curl up around the outdoor fireplace and stargaze in the night sky. The owners bath features an enclosed, tiled walk in shower, double vanities, granite countertops and a large walk in closet with custom shelves. Upstairs you'll find another 1,000 square feet of fully finished space that has been used as another bedroom, man cave, workout room, or additional storage you decide! The front half (approximately 3.5 acres) is surrounded by a wood fence that has been reinforced with steel mesh (so domestic animals don't run loose.) The elevated design allows for parking under the house and provides massive outdoor space for entertaining large groups! In addition to the main house, there are two 'luxury' chicken coops, one electric powered shed, 2 ponds, and a small barn with shed that could be used for horse stables. The rear half of the property features horse trails, hiking trails and a raised boardwalk surrounded by native cypress, pine, and oak trees. If you like to hunt, birdwatch, or target shoot, this is your perfect retreat! The entire property was built with self-sufficiency and energy efficiency in mind, from the geo-thermal air/heat systems to the metal storm shutters that seal up the house in the event of a storm. There is a solar field behind the house with newly replaced Tesla inverters. Presently, the solar panels provide approx. 50% of home usage (approx. $100/mo electric bill), but system can be set to provide more coverage if desired. The house is also tied to county water supply but can be easily switched over to well water, if desired. All this WOW factor and just 25 miles to Mount Pleasant conveniences. The descriptions and photos just don't do it justice. You must come take a tour in person!

Enjoy peace and quiet on your own off-the-grid 7.43-acre estate adjacent to the Francis Marion National Forest and just minutes from the coast. This property has almost too many amenities to mention and is in turn-key condition for its next owner. Enter through a private gate on a sturdy fence that surrounds almost half of the property. Additional gates on the rear of the property lead to a walking trail complete with a raised boardwalk over a cypress swamp to get the most out of the entire property. Within the gate are two chicken coops, a pole barn with screened sliding doors, two more outbuildings connected by an arbor that could be converted to a horse barn, and two ponds. The raised home allows for parking underneath and a set of interior stairs lead up to an entrance. There isalso a large workshop under the home that provides plenty of additional storage and room for tinkering. The home features real hickory floors throughout the first floor. An office with built-in bookshelves could be converted to a 3rd bedroom if needed. The home also includes a massive finished upstairs adding tons of living options. There is a rear porch off the master bedroom with large glass doors to let in plenty of natural light. The house can be buttoned up tight in the event of a storm with easy-to-use storm "shutters" on the windows. The home constructed with energy efficient 2x6 walls. There is power from the street but also features a large array of solar panels which can power the home (battery is on back-order and will be included with the sale). The home is also connected to public water but has its own well that can provide drinking water and powers an energy-efficient geothermal central heat and air system. 25 minutes straight through the forest takes you to Mount Pleasant or Moncks Corner. Or you can head 10 miles toward the coast and reach the quaint fishing village of McClellanville with access to the Cape Romain Wildlife Refuge and plenty of great seafood cooked fresh or from the market.

FLEX1
Agricultural District
A significant portion of the county's land area is used for agricultural, forestry, and agricultural/residential purposes. These areas represent the county's rural landscape and historic character of Berkeley County. The viability of agricultural operations and production is contingent upon their protection from incompatible land uses and development. Additionally, premature conversion of these lands to accommodate urban and suburban development increases the demand for costly public infrastructure. The Flex1 agricultural district is intended to implement the land use goals of the agriculture and resource conservation areas within rural areas in the unincorporated portions of Berkeley County.; This district is intended to: Preserve agricultural activities as a primary use, but to allow residential development as a secondary use.; Manage growth to protect agricultural land and land uses from development pressures to avoid increasing demands for road improvements and public infrastructure; Provide standards to control the intensity of development in rural areas of sensitive natural and historical resources.; Preserve wetlands, watercourses and other significant natural resource areas, and to preserve the scenic quality of the landscape; Preserve and protect the rural residential character of specific areas within the county.; Ensure that the cultural integrity of the county's historical resources is protected.; Protect these areas from infiltration of incompatible land uses.
