With a current population around 3,000, Wadmalaw Island provides a relaxing country atmosphere just minutes from historic Charleston’s real estate hot spot. The area offers homebuyers the best of everything the Lowcountry has to offer — natural beauty, proximity to the beaches and waterways and a short drive to downtown Charleston for world-class dining, shopping and entertainment.
William Means Real Estate, one of the oldest real estate companies in Charleston and an exclusive affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate, has four listings on Wadmalaw Island.
“The demand for homes in more rural areas like Wadmalaw is further proof that Charleston’s metro area is growing,” said Helen Geer, broker with William Means Real Estate. “It also shows us how much people enjoy having extra privacy, natural views and room to breathe while still being close to Charleston’s charm.”
Wadmalaw Island, situated southwest of Johns Island, is home to Charleston Tea Plantation, a working tea farm, and Deep Water Vineyard, Charleston’s only domestic winery. Take a tour of these stunning properties for sale on Wadmalaw Island below.
