This secluded parcel on Big House Rd off of Folly Rd on St. Helena Island is perfect for a new private homesite estate, surrounded by mature live oaks and wildlife habitat. The parcel features almost 8 acres, which has been recently surveyed. There are several small roads and paths in place leading towards the back of the parcel and through several open potential future building areas. There is around 1 acre on one side of the dirt road and almost 7 acres on the other. The entire parcel is loaded with mature live oaks and other desirable hardwoods. There is an abundance of both deer and turkey here. There are already several other nice private homesites on Big House Road, and this tract would certainly set up nicely for one as well. Nearly the entire tract seems to be very high and dry, as much of it sits at around an 18' elevation above sea level, higher than many of the surrounding parcels and homesites. Come create almost anything you want here, as there are no restrictions, HOA, or special covenants! What a convenient location, secluded and private, yet only minutes from the beach, Fripp or Hunting Island, Lady's Island, or downtown Beaufort.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
