Ideal site for redevelopment or renovation. Approximately 3.041 acres for sale improved with four concrete block vacant duplexes in the Heart of Johns Island. This site was historically a tomato picking farm labor camp. Buildings are in a concrete shell condition and would require a complete top to bottom gut renovation. Each concrete block duplex is approximately 1,900 sf each which could be 8 potential units. Site is connected to city water with on-site septic systems already in place. Property is zoned AGR in Charleston Co. which allows redevelopment to a maximum residential density of 1 principal dwelling unit per acre. On a lot this size, the redevelolpment could allow up to 3-single family homes (subject to subdivision and septic approvals). Property sold strictly ''As-is, where-is''
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.
