Inside, generous bedrooms and ample gathering space set the stage for big-family weekends and long, unhurried visits. Outdoor living is equally considered, with an expansive covered deck on the main level and a large covered patio below—natural extensions of lake life. Practical upgrades are woven throughout: Pella “Storm Proof” double-hung, double-pane windows; three Trane Smart HVAC units (including an air purification system); smart appliances; and a generator switch wired in the lake toys room. The home is elevator ready, and a theatre room awaits your finishing touches. At the shoreline, a custom covered dock with Zuri Deck, boat lift, and double bunks completes the routine.

Along the water’s edge in the heart of Mount Pleasant, this charming residence pairs a large, private lot with an easygoing sense of seclusion—without HOA restrictions.

A dock is included, extending daily life outdoors and making it simple to slip into water activities or linger beside the pond with a book and a breeze. The setting feels calm and contained, yet connected to the rhythms of the city beyond. It’s a place where mornings start peacefully, afternoons can turn adventurous, and evenings invite you back to the water’s edge.

Set within The Retreat at Daniel Island Park, this final lot on Fish Camp Road offers a rare chance to shape a custom residence on a coveted homesite.
