1872 Arsburn Road, Charleston SC 29412

This rare half-acre lot is tucked away in a private pocket of James Island, offering unmatched privacy and charm–just minutes from the sand of Folly Beach and a short drive to downtown Charleston. With S-3 zoning, the property allows for a custom primary residence along with an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), making it ideal for multigenerational living, a guest house, or additional rental income.All utilities–water, electricity, and sewer–are already located at the street. Sewer service is provided by the James Island Public Service District, requiring only the installation of a grinder pump (typically a few hundred dollars) with a small ongoing fee of $8-$12 per month.Adding to its appeal, the lot holds a historical designation, preserving its character and ensuring thoughtful development. You’ll never have a neighbor to the north, as that side is permanently protected. On the other side, a small easement path adds both charm and walkability to the area. A local community group actively maintains the neighborhood and has secured a grant to turn nearby green space into a botanical garden, further enhancing the surroundings.

A recent survey has been completed by a reputable builder and includes full tree mapping, confirming both usability and value. This is a unique opportunity to build something special in one of Charleston’s most desirable coastal communities.
