Set within the prestigious gated community of Romain Retreat, this exceptional 2.13-acre waterfront homesite presents a rare opportunity--truly a unicorn in the Mount Pleasant/Awendaw area. Nestled within a breathtaking coastal archipelago along the Intracoastal Waterway, the property offers an extraordinary blend of privacy, natural beauty, and Lowcountry luxury.With a private dock and covered pier head already in place, you'll be perfectly positioned to enjoy life on the water from day one. Framed by tranquil marsh views, winding tidal creeks, and a stunning maritime forest backdrop, the property provides an ideal setting for a custom waterfront retreat.Acquired by the current owner in late 2022 with plans to build a personal residence, the property has since benefited fromsubstantial investment and preparation. Recent improvements include additional site clearing, repairs and enhancements to the private dock, installation of a new well system, geotechnical and soil testing, septic engineering and permit applications, surveys, and architectural plans. These improvements represent significant time, expense, and due diligence, allowing a future owner to move forward with far greater certainty and efficiency than is typically possible with a raw waterfront parcel.To further streamline the building process, architectural plans by Cobb Architects for a thoughtfully designed 5-bedroom, 4,184-square-foot residence are available, giving buyers a significant head start in bringing their vision to life. For those seeking a more turnkey approach, the property is also available as part of a separate homesite-and-construction package featuring a custom residence by Hunter Baker Homes.Romain Retreat offers residents exclusive amenities, including a private boat landing, community dock, and a screened pavilion ideal for gatherings and oyster roasts. Adjacent to the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge, the setting offers protected natural beauty and a true sense of escape.Despite its serene setting, this property is just minutes from Mount Pleasant, McClellanville, and Charleston, with convenient access to shopping, dining, and top-rated schools, including a short drive to Wando High School.With valuable infrastructure, planning, and permitting efforts already completed or underway, this exceptional waterfront homesite is poised and ready for your custom Lowcountry retreat. This is a rare opportunity to create a truly exceptional waterfront home in one of the Lowcountry's most coveted hidden enclaves.
