Conveniently situated less than 10 minutes from Folly Beach & Downtown Charleston, James Island is one of the most coveted areas of the Lowcountry. Experience the dream boating lifestyle at this waterfront stunner with views of the Morris Island lighthouse! On just under an acre (subdividable) with NO HOA, enjoy your own 250' dock with power & water, a 12'x24' head, plus 8'x16' floater. Already rigged with 4 poles if new owner wants to add a drive up ramp...& there's a boat launch/famp on the property! The home itself is nestled into the wooded lot, completely private from the street, accessed by a long private drive. The peninsula was Battery Reed from 1861 to 1864 (Daughters of the Confederacy put a historical marker adjacent to the property). Built in 1925, the front of the house wasthe site of the original Clemson Agricultural Research Offices until 1939. Bedroom wing was added in 1969. While current utilities are septic & well, city water & sewer are readily available. There are two large carports & a detached shed/workshop. Seeking the freedom to have your boats, RV, tractors & other toys at home? Have you always wanted chickens & fresh eggs? This unique spot has everything you've ever wanted. The non waterfront home across the street recently sold for over a million on a .3 acre lot, so this is an incredible opportunity to build your dream waterfront oasis with phenomenal value!
