This is the perfect ranch home if you are looking to move to Johns Island. Welcome to 2986 Blackfish Rd, perfectly situated one block from Whitney Lake and Maybank Hwy with no HOA. Greeted by a charming front porch, this home has 1,340 sq ft, 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths with thoughtful interior upgrades and a new screened in porch that overlooks the spacious backyard. At just under a 1/4 acre lot, the home's location is ideal for commuting on and off the island with multiple entry points. Interior upgrades include all new interior paint and trim, plumbing fixtures in the kitchen and baths, luxury vinyl tile throughout (except laundry room)tile flooring in the guest bath, upgraded light fixtures and fans. And if you are looking for an island hangout at home to unwind or entertain, head to the garage where the space has been turned into a bar. An additional electrical panel and outlets were added to the garage along with a new garage door and opener. A window A/C/heating unit was installed so you can enjoy this space all year long. The bar is not permanently fixed to the floor so it can easily convert back to a garage if needed. A shed with a new slab foundation was added last year along with a stock tank pool for hot summer days, or add an immersion heater to make it into a hot tub to use all year long. This is ideal Johns Island living with modern conveniences nearby, but hidden enough to feel private. You can walk one block to Whitney Lake with multiple walking paths to that area and the nearby Trophy Lake. A longer walk or golf ride will take you to Crown Commons featuring great cafes, restaurants, salons and more. 20 minutes to Downtown Charleston and Kiawah and 30 minutes to Folly Beach with multiple entry points make this location ideal for getting on, off and through the island. Perfect as a starter home, retirement home and everything in between, this makes a great place to call Johns Island home!
Johns Island, located between the Ashley River and the Stono River, is a rural and coastal Charleston neighborhood with live oaks and tidal creeks. The Lowcountry landscape sets the pace, with marsh views, farm stands, and long two-lane roads leading to waterfront landings. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Maybank Highway corridor near River Road, where seafood counters, local markets, and casual patios cluster in a steady hum. Community pillars include The Royal American (on the island’s edge), Low Tide Brewing, and the Charleston Tea Garden. Architecture ranges from older cottages and ranch homes to newer elevated builds designed for floodplain living. Trails and boat ramps shape daily routines, with sunsets often framed by spartina grass and wide skies.
