Suburbia and busy city lifestyles are not for everyone.  To some, living away from the hustle and the bustle sounds magical. The combination of an abundance of land, panoramic views, backyard water access, and ample privacy is a dream come true.  Below are spectacular listings containing all things mentioned…with at least an acre of land!

940 Windsor is located on a former rice plantation and offers over 8 acres of land.  It features views of three rivers, a boathouse with covered boat parking, a colorful array of native flowers, and an 8,400 square foot manor.  Windsor Plantation is a rare find and is nothing short of breathtaking.

2137 Hope Plantation boasts over 11 acres of land with a stunning mansion style house covering 8,400 square feet.  A private-property bridge leads you through the scenic, lush landscaping before you arrive at the property and are welcomed by endless water views.  You can enjoy the picturesque nature of Hope Plantation from the 100-foot floating dock or one of the multiple porches surrounding the house.

There are still options if you want to live in a serene waterfront environment,

but remain relatively close to the city…

4580 Olde Smoak House is situated on one beautiful acre along the Toogoodoo Creek in the charming town of Meggett, which is just a short peaceful ride from the City of Charleston.  The blooming azaleas and large live oaks coat the perimeter of the 2,400 square foot light-filled cottage.  The most difficult decision will often become whether to enjoy the views of the spacious rear porch or the private deep-water dock?

607 North Shore is over six acres of astonishing beauty. The estate contains a carefully designed 6,100 square foot residence situated perfectly on well-maintained landscaping that overlooks the Charleston Harbor and Cityscape.  Enjoying the allure of Charleston is possible from nearly every room in the house. The property provides a unique experience for springtime weather on the private deep-water dock, located just steps away from the backyard patio, grilling area, and heated pool.

Owning a part of rural Charleston is a true privilege, given the surrounding wetlands and tremendous amount of native foliage to enhance the exterior of the home.  Carriage Properties, often noted for specializing in historic property on the peninsula, also fosters an immense amount of knowledge and appreciation for the outer areas throughout Charleston.
