Edisto River Retreat
Description
The Edisto River Retreat offers a rare opportunity to own secluded waterfront acreage along one of South Carolina’s most renowned blackwater rivers. Located in Ridgeville, just north of the ACE Basin watershed, this 59.24± acre offering blends an unmatched variety of outdoor opportunities and self-sufficiency in the Lowcountry. With paved frontage on Gator Walk Road and an established internal road system, accessing each part of the tract is effortless. Two stocked ponds, that measure approximately 1.2± and 2.3± acres, are located at the rear of the property. Between the ponds lies a 2± acre open field that was previously approved for six RV septic hookups, creating the possibility of a gathering space for family, friends, or future expansion. A private boat ramp and dock extend directly into the Edisto River, providing unlimited boating, fishing, and exploring access. Wildlife is abundant, with whitetail, turkey, and waterfowl seen almost daily.
Overlooking the smaller pond, a new 450± sq. ft. cabin provides comfort, privacy, and sustainability. The cabin operates entirely off-grid, utilizing a 400W solar array, 3600W battery pack, private well, and new septic system, allowing you to enjoy modern conveniences without dependence on public utilities. An upgraded 110-volt well pump has recently been installed and elevated above grade for flood protection, ensuring reliability even when the river is in flood stage. At the front of the tract, a cleared homesite with septic approval for a two-bedroom residence offers an excellent location for a future river house with power on site.
Whether envisioned as a private weekend getaway, sustainable retreat, or family compound, this property is a blank canvas with endless possibilities.
