26.64 Acres. Two Ponds. Endless Upside. Johns Island's Finest Remaining Tract.

Marketing description

26.64-Acre AGR Estate — Private Sanctuary, Investment Platform, and One of Johns Island's Last Great Tracts

Opportunities like this don't come back. Luxury home sales on Johns Island priced above $2 million increased 18% year-over-year, and large AGR tracts are disappearing fast as the island continues its build-out. At 26.64 high, dry acres, 4347 Chisolm Road is one of the last properties of this scale, character, and versatility available in the greater Charleston market.

Set beneath grand live oaks draped in Spanish moss, this private estate is anchored by a handsome brick two-story main home with an in-ground saltwater pool surrounded by elegant brick decking — a setting that feels worlds removed from the city while remaining just 20 minutes from downtown Charleston. Two fully stocked fishing ponds frame the property's natural heart, creating a Lowcountry sanctuary that is as visually stunning at sunrise as it is functional for a dozen different visions of ownership.

A charming pond house — 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, full kitchen — overlooks the water and serves equally well as a guest retreat, caretaker's quarters, or multi-generational accommodation. A separate ~3,000 sq ft metal building with power and water provides immediate, substantial infrastructure ready to serve whatever direction an owner takes this land.

The Possibilities Are Genuine and Multiple

AGR zoning permits a wide range of uses that make this property as rare from a flexibility standpoint as it is from a beauty standpoint:

For the private estate buyer — this is simply one of the finest pieces of Lowcountry land available. Twenty-six acres of privacy, two ponds, grand oaks, a pool, multiple structures, and enough space to breathe in every direction.

For the equestrian buyer — the acreage is purpose-built for a boutique horse operation. Ample room for paddocks, rotational grazing, and arena construction. The ~3,000 sq ft workshop converts readily into a 10–12 stall center-aisle barn with room for tack, feed, wash rack, and equipment storage. Two ponds provide natural water features and scenic riding views. AGR zoning permits barns, arenas, and all accessory equestrian structures subject to county approval.

For the investor or operator — the property's combination of AGR zoning, natural beauty, acreage, multiple structures, and proximity to Charleston positions it as an exceptional platform for a premium outdoor event venue and agritourism operation. The Charleston wedding and events market generates over $138 million annually. The two primary outdoor estate venues on Johns Island are consistently booked solid. This property — with its ponds, oaks, workshop, pool, and overnight accommodations — offers everything needed to build the market's next great destination estate.

The Land Is the Asset. The Structures Are the Bonus.

With Humbert Road providing flexible access for private use or guest arrival, two stocked ponds, established natural beauty across all 26.64 acres, a main residence, a pond house, and a 3,000+ sq ft building already in place — this is a property that delivers immediate livability and long-term upside regardless of how it is used.

The Johns Island market has seen median prices rise from $600,000 in 2023 to $645,000 in 2025, and strict zoning regulations and limited new development reinforce long-term value, positioning Johns Island as a mature and enduring luxury market. Large AGR tracts are not coming back.

Investment highlights

Here are your investment highlights — written tight enough to scan fast but meaty enough to sell the concept:

26.64 Acres — One of Johns Island's Last Large AGR Tracts Large contiguous acreage of this quality is gone from Johns Island. This is one of the final opportunities to acquire a compound of this scale within 20 minutes of downtown Charleston before the corridor fully builds out.

Three Revenue Streams from One Asset Premium outdoor wedding and event venue + standalone event equipment rental company + estate accommodations (main house with saltwater pool + pond house). Each stream compounds the others — no single point of failure.

$1,258,600 Projected Year 3 Gross Revenue Conservative projections benchmarked against verified published pricing from Hart Meadows Ranch and The Island House — the two primary Johns Island outdoor venue competitors, both of which book out months in advance.

$1,031,650 Year 3 Net Operating Income 82% NOI margin at full capacity. Year 1 NOI of $260,180 essentially covers debt service at 25% down — the business funds its own loan from year one.

48.5% Year 3 Cash-on-Cash Return (25% Down Scenario) $1.6M total cash in (down payment + renovation). $781,690 in after-debt cash flow by Year 3. Strong commercial refinance position at a potentially significantly higher valuation.

~$7,000 Annual Property Tax Even at full 6% commercial assessment on a $3.95M purchase, annual taxes land between $6,400–$7,600. Less than 0.7% of Year 3 gross revenue. Charleston County has one of the lowest effective commercial property tax rates in South Carolina.

SC Agritourism Protection Act — Built-In Advantage AGR zoning + two stocked fishing ponds + 26 acres qualifies this property for agritourism designation under SC law. Unlocks 4% assessment on the land portion, statutory liability protections, and a legal framework to scale an event business without a commercial rezoning fight.

$138.6M Charleston Wedding Market — Room for a Premium Entrant 3,737 weddings in Charleston in 2025. Average spend $37,097 per couple. Neither primary competitor offers overnight stays, a private pool, dual ponds, or 26+ acres. The market has demand. This property has the differentiators.

Startup Investment: $480,000 – $625,000 No commercial kitchen required. Full renovation, event rental inventory, grounds buildout, and working capital reserve. The 3,000 SF workshop is built-in storage — zero additional warehouse cost.

Full Documentation Package Available Under NDA Complete business plan, 3-year pro forma, financing scenarios, tax strategy, agritourism framework, and recommended legal structure available to qualified buyers upon request.
