If you are seeking a quiet, relaxing vacation in an incredibly beautiful natural setting - look no further! Wadmalaw Island is an unspoiled, low density, conservation-oriented, sea island bounded by the North Edisto River, the Bohicket Creek, and the Wadmalaw River.
Buy local fish and shrimp fresh from the docks in the historic Village of Rockville - just five minutes away. Secluded island beaches ten minutes away by boat. Kiawah Island beaches are twenty minutes away by car.
This country home is a spectacular 52-acre wooded retreat fronting on the Leadenwah River. This pristine woodland marsh and forest property is protected by a conservation easement and abounds with native plants and wildlife. The river is wonderful for boating, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing. Dolphin feed and play there.
Red tail hawks and bald eagles nest in the trees along the river as well as brown pelicans. Oysters, shrimp and flounder are plentiful. The Atlantic Ocean is a 15-minute boat ride from this property. Moss draped live oaks, magnolias, and palmetto trees provide unmatched privacy. There are two peninsulas with spectacular views of the river and unbelievable stargazing. There is a firepit for chilly evenings under the stars.
The house has a huge screen porch for outdoor dining or just relaxing. Bring your boat, canoes, and kayaks! There is a public boat landing very nearby. Enjoy the tranquility of this special place and still have easy access to the amenities of historic Charleston, just thirty minutes away. Kiawah Island beach and golf amenities are twenty minutes away.
Some things to keep in mind in the country... This place is about relaxation and the quiet, solitude and beauty of the natural setting. The house is very clean and comfortable but rustic - not a fancy, new house. If you are someone that requires 100 TV channels, cable is not available and the trees are too thick for a satellite antenna to function properly. There are local digital channels and ETV available only. There are REDBOX stations at the grocery stores and two DVD players in the house. Wadmalaw Island does not have city water and our house is served by a well as all others on the island are. We have a water cooler and plenty of bottled water available for drinking, cooking, cocktail and coffee making as the well water does have some iron in it.

Year Purchased: 2002
Why the Owner Chose Wadmalaw Island
We chose Wadmalaw Island for the completely unspoiled nature of the island. It has not been impacted by development as most sea islands have and is protected by numerous conservation easements. The first time I drove down the clay avenue of moss draped, oak trees to this house, I knew I was buying it. I drove onto the property and startled several deer in the driveway. Then walking out to the two points on the property overlooking the Leadenwah River and seeing red tail hawks, blue herons, and dolphin playing in the creek confirmed my initial impression. The vista from these points is astoundingly beautiful.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The natural beauty and solitude are amazing. The sunsets and moon over the river are very special. Because of the very limited sources of artificial light on the Island the star gazing is unbelievable. Canoeing and kayaking off the points, great for fishing and birding are fun as well as boating in the river. The locally grown, organic produce, shrimp and fresh fish purchased right off the docks are a real treat in season! When you seek world class dining and shopping it is an easy, pleasant 25 mintue ride into Charleston's Historic District. There are also excellent restaurants on neighboring Johns Island - two favorites are The Fat Hen, with country french fare and Wild Olive, a sophisticated, italian eatery.
