Rare opportunity to acquire Cole Island, a privately owned barrier island gracefully positioned at the confluence of the Folly River and Stono Inlet, just minutes from Folly Beach and historic Charleston. Encompassing approximately 300+/- acres of highland and marsh, this remarkable coastal sanctuary offers an extraordinary combination of natural beauty, privacy, historical significance, and long-term stewardship potential.Accessible only by boat via a short ride from the Folly Beach public landing or nearby marinas, the island unfolds through sweeping marsh vistas, navigable tidal creeks, protected shoreline, and a mature maritime forest shaded by centuries-old live oaks.Rich in American history, Cole Island is home to the remains of historic Fort Palmetto, originally constructed during the War of 1812, with layered ties to both the Revolutionary and Civil War eras. Largely preserved in its natural state, the island presents a compelling opportunity for conservation-minded ownership while allowing for thoughtful, low-impact experiential use. Existing activities have included guided excursions, kayaking along Cole Creek, and curated private gatherings that embrace the island's distinctive landscape and quiet seclusion. Cole Island may offer meaningful opportunities for conservation easements, estate planning strategies, and tax-advantaged ownership structures, all while preserving one of the Charleston coast's most irreplaceable land holdings. Buyers should verify any conservation, tax, or land-use considerations independently. One of the last privately held barrier islands in the Charleston market, Cole Island represents a truly rare legacy acquisition -- a place where history, ecology, and coastal beauty converge in a setting unlikely to be replicated.

One-of-a-Kind Oceanfront Estate OpportunityThis is one of the only homesites in the Charleston area to capture both sunrise over the Atlantic and sunset across the marsh and river, a unique dual perspective that defines this property. With no homes directly in front or behind, the setting offers uninterrupted ocean views and serene marsh vistas. Opportunities like this have not surfaced in decades.Spanning an extraordinary 100 feet of direct ocean frontage - a full lot and a half where most parcels measure just 70 feet - this exceptional homesite allows for an estate-scale residence, with enhanced privacy and more favorable setbacks than typical beachfront lots.The property is thoughtfully improved and ready for your vision. A 60-foot seawall with wing walls (approximately five years old), along with an additional interior retaining wall, provides reinforced protection. The gated entrance with illuminated pillars, established driveway and parking, and existing landscaping, including mature palms, add both presence and value. A partial beach walkover is in place, and an underground irrigation system is ready to be revived. The owners' previous home had 360 degree views of the River and the Ocean, including the lighthouses, the Ravenel Bridge, James Island, Kiawah, and even all of the fourth of July firework shows around town. Ideally located on the quieter stretch of the island, approximately 2.5 miles from Center Street, you'll enjoy both seclusion and convenience. Walk or bike to the Washout for some of the best surfing on the East Coast, or head into town for Folly's vibrant mix of restaurants, shops, and coastal charm. Explore nearby amenities including the county park, tennis and pickle ball courts, fishing pier, boat landing, and miles of waterways perfect for boating, kayaking and paddleboarding. A scenic walk brings you to the iconic Morris Island Lighthouse, while historic downtown Charleston is just a short drive away. Cleared and primed for construction, this 100 foot oceanfront homesite presents a generational opportunity to create a legacy property in one of the Lowcountry's most sought-after beach communities. A setting this rare, with this scale and perspective, is simply unmatched.
