A rare opportunity to own 17.46 spectacular high-and-dry acres just minutes from Kiawah Island and Freshfields Village. Completely private and gated, this exceptional property showcases a beautiful balance of open fields and natural woodland, framed by majestic live oaks, magnolias, and crepe myrtles that create an unmistakably Lowcountry setting. With no HOA, low taxes, and an outstanding location that offers both seclusion and convenience, this is a property that embraces a relaxed, non-traditional lifestyle rarely found so close to Charleston's most sought-after coastal destinations.Partially fenced for horses and livestock, the land features a gracious natural pond and offers endless possibilities for recreation, equestrian pursuits, farming, or the creation of a legacy family compound. Underground utility infrastructure is already in place, including electric service, two wells, and a septic system, providing a valuable foundation for future expansion. The property is complemented by several versatile outbuildings, including a substantial 30' x 60' barn with a concrete floor ideal for vehicle storage, a workshop, hobby space, or equestrian use. A charming two-stall barnette sits within a fenced pasture area, while a separate two-bedroom ensuite cottage with kitchenette and living area provides comfortable accommodations for guests, family, or caretakers. At the heart of the property, the one-bedroom pool house embraces an easygoing country lifestyle, featuring a full kitchen and attached screened porch with a wood-burning fireplace overlooking the gunite swimming pool and pond--an inviting setting for entertaining, family gatherings, and relaxed weekends with friends. Whether envisioned as a private retreat for empty nesters, a second home, a vacation getaway, or a full-time residence, the property's flexibility allows owners to tailor the experience to their lifestyle while enjoying the peace and privacy of a truly remarkable setting. For those seeking an even grander vision, the property presents a unique opportunity to collaborate with Coastline Builders and create a luxury residence on a separate TMS parcel, forming an extraordinary multi-generational estate or private compound. Or simply leave it exactly as it is--a peaceful countryside pied-a-terre where privacy, nature, low-maintenance living, and the very best of the Lowcountry come together in perfect harmony.
