Rare opportunity to acquire four contiguous cleared parcels in a highly desirable Johns Island location overlooking Rantowles Creek near Kingfisher Isle. Currently zoned R-4, the property offers significant potential for an investor, developer, or luxury custom home builder seeking to create a private waterfront enclave or boutique residential community. The parcels feature tidal creek frontage, expansive marsh and water views, and a picturesque Lowcountry setting. Potential for approximately 12 lots, allowing for a variety of development concepts, including luxury homesites with potential for docks, shared amenities, community dock, pool, and pool house. Subdivision of TMS No. 285-00-00-203 was recently approved by Charleston County Zoning & Planning allowing three waterfront lots which provides the opportunity for immediate development on that parcel, as well as TMS No. 285-00-00-200, which is a gorgeous peninsula lot with panoramic views of the marsh and water should someone wish to begin that process while awaiting entitlements on the additional two parcels. (Note: These two parcels may be purchased together, or in conjunction with the other two contiguous parcels. See separate listing.)
As the MLS and public records start to fill up, we'll list the details here.
