Prime corner commercial opportunity on Johns Island. This highly visible .33 acre lot, zoned ''Rural Commercial'' offers approximately 293 ft of frontage on Main Rd + 153 ft on Old Pond Road, providing exceptional exposure and dual access. The property includes an 896-square-foot structure with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, being sold as-is. While in need of substantial renovation, the building could be transformed into an ideal office, retail space, or business headquarters. Even greater potential exists when combined with the adjacent 2.45-acre parcel, creating nearly 3 acres with approximately 440 ft of frontage on Main Rd.Positioned within the rapidly expanding Main Rd Corridor, this property is perfectly situated to capitalize on the tremendous commercial growth occurring throughout Johns Island. Whether you're an investor, developer, or business owner, this is a rare opportunity to secure a premier commercial location before values climb even higher.
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.
