JOHNS ISLAND
Overview
Second in size only to New York’s Long Island among sea coastal islands along the eastern seaboard, beautiful Johns Island is emerging as a highly sought-after address.
Only ten minutes to downtown Charleston, SC, and boasting two brand new bridges, an executive airport, and a four-lane expressway to Kiawah Island, Johns Island is an ideal suburban real estate location.
For most of its history, Johns Island has been a coastal farming center, and still boasts vast expanses of lush, unspoiled acreage only recently available to prospective real estate buyers.
Laced by tidal creeks and surrounded by rivers and waterways, the island offers a large variety of waterfront lots, and newly developed neighborhoods overlook Wadmalaw Sound and the Kiawah and Stono rivers.
Winding country roads bordered by great live oaks sport a series of game preserves and newly-designed golf courses. Abundant local farms are still in operation, growing fresh crops of tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, melons and winter greens, year-round produce offered in roadside markets and popular island restaurants.
