Are you looking for a decent size lot to build your dream home, with no HOA, in a quiet, private, but close in location? This level land with water, electricity, and sewer at the street is ready for your creation! The lot has 2 sheds, one equipped with a full bath which cannot be used as a primary home but can be used as an AUD to an existing home. Right down the street is Trophy Lake, an amazing professional ski haven, a giant floating inflatable obstacle course with slides, climbing walls, and monkey bars; America's first above-water ropes course with a zipline finish landing in the lake, and cable pulled boogie boards for ages 6 and up. If pickle ball or disc golf are your pleasure, impressive facilities are also available. There is a lot to love about 3028 Marlin Rd!
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.
