A Storybook Lowcountry Estate in Hanahan: Acreage, Nature, Water, and Convenience in One Extraordinary Property

Some homes invite you to pause. To breathe. To stop rushing long enough to remember why people fall in love with the Lowcountry in the first place.
This home in Hanahan’s Otranto community is one of those places.

Set on a private 1.13-acre estate beneath a canopy of centuries-old live oaks, the property feels tucked away from the world, yet it sits within minutes of historic Charleston, I-26, shopping, restaurants, parks, and health care. That rare combination — land, nature, water, and convenience — is what makes this property stand apart.

A Setting Shaped by Nature

A creek winds through the yard toward the Goose Creek Reservoir, creating a natural bird sanctuary where eagles, owls, hawks, herons, ibis, limpkins, and songbirds are frequent visitors. The Reservoir adds a peaceful water backdrop that gives the entire property a sense of openness, calm, and connection to the landscape.

The yard feels like a storybook scene, shaded by live oaks and dotted with seasonal color from azaleas, palms, ferns, and flowering shrubs. It’s a place where you can step outside and instantly feel the shift from schedule to stillness.

Indoor–Outdoor Living, Seamlessly Connected

Inside, the home was designed to bring the outdoors into daily life. Large windows in every room frame trees, sky, and glimpses of the Reservoir, making nature the backdrop for everything from morning coffee to quiet evenings.

At the center is the sunroom — the gathering space the owners love most. With picture windows capturing the trees and water, and skylights filling the room with natural light, it feels like a perch above the landscape. From here, you step directly onto the oversized deck and pool area, where entertaining, relaxing, and living life outdoors becomes effortless.

A Home with Space for Living Well

The home offers four bedrooms, a bonus room, and a first-floor primary suite with a spa-like bathroom featuring a claw-foot tub, separate shower, dual vanities, and a walk-in closet. Upstairs, every bedroom offers calming views of the oaks and surrounding nature.
The main living areas include a vaulted family room with exposed beams, hardwood floors, and a brick fireplace, along with an open dining room and foyer. The kitchen has solid-surface counters, new tile backsplash, a new refrigerator, and an instant hot-water tap — thoughtful details that make everyday routines easier.

Outdoor Living, Perfected

The outdoor spaces are as memorable as the interior. The wraparound deck offers multiple areas for dining and relaxing, while the pool creates opportunities for year-round enjoyment. The property also includes two storage sheds, mature plantings, and plenty of open space to wander, garden, or simply be outside.

A Once-in-Decades Chance

Homes like this rarely come onto the market — especially after being cared for by a single owner for nearly twenty years. Properties with acreage, water orientation, wildlife habitat, architectural charm, and proximity to Charleston are increasingly difficult to find.

This one brings all of it together.
