Property Spotlight – Hoopstick Island

Charleston’s last accessible island of its kind provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create a place that is truly special. Driving onto 2068 Hoopstick Island Road, it feels hundreds of miles away from everything but is in fact just twenty minutes from downtown Charleston, Kiawah Island, and Charleston’s Executive Airport. This pristine 145-acre island retreat is connected by a built causeway. With direct access to the Atlantic Ocean, the property encompasses approximately 1.3 miles of water frontage. Spanning across the island are four large hay fields, which could be used to reestablish the property as a horse farm, to create dove fields for hunting enthusiasts, or simply to install a custom recreational area complete with a pool, tennis court, and more.

Hoopstick’s natural beauty is unmatched, due in part to its 169 historic trees, including live oak and pecan. Significant improvements have recently been made, including the addition of a gated entryway with the property’s original wrought iron gate and “Charleston Grey” bricks, the removal of outdated structures, road repavement, a redecking of the deep water dock, extensive landscaping, and a complete reengineering of the causeway to elevate and widen the subgrade, install utility conduits, and meet today’s modern safety requirements. Located amidst the property’s abundance of live oaks is the perfect spot for the next owner to build his or her custom dream home with panoramic water views. Should a family or group wish to develop a communal compound, zoning allows a maximum of 10 subdivided lots, each with approved dock permits.

Also included in this sale is an adjacent 11-acre marsh-front parcel off Bohicket Road on Johns Island, with approximately 6 acres of high ground. An owner could either preserve the land or develop it. The future owner also has the potential to apply for a conservation easement and receive a tremendous tax incentive in exchange for protecting the natural beauty of the island in perpetuity.
