About this home
A rare opportunity to create a custom Lowcountry residence in one of Beaufort's most beautiful waterfront settings. Situated on approximately 0.87 acres in desirable Cane Island, this expansive homesite offers sweeping views of the Beaufort River and the iconic McTeer Bridge, surrounded by mature Live Oaks and the natural beauty that defines the South Carolina Lowcountry. From the moment you turn onto Bay Drive, a stunning canopy of Live Oaks sets the tone for the setting ahead. The property itself offers an impressive combination of space, privacy, mature trees, marsh and water views, providing an exceptional backdrop for a thoughtfully designed custom home. Bay Drive community dock offers convenient access to the surrounding waterways, whether you're heading out for a day of boating and fishing or simply enjoying an evening by the river. Downtown Beaufort and Port Royal are only minutes away by car or boat, placing some of the area's best restaurants, waterfront parks, marinas, shops, and coastal experiences within easy reach. The seller also has custom house plans that have already been approved by the HOA and can be included with an accepted offer, providing a significant head start toward bringing your vision to life. Few homesites offer this combination of acreage, mature Live Oaks, water views, community water access, and proximity to Beaufort and Port Royal. Build a home designed around the views, the trees, the Lowcountry lifestyle, and create a place that feels distinctly your own.
