I'd look at Tanner Plantation in Hanahan. It's nicer, safer and more convenient than almost anything else in that vicinity. Certainly more so than Goose Creek.
Try looking in Ashborough or Ashborough East which are the loveliest parts of Summerville along the Ashley River. Yes, there was flooding in some parts of the subdivision last year. But overall, it may suit you. It's a great location in so many ways: in your budget; a bit more land than most sub-divs; mature treed streets; convenient yet secluded. Boat launch, tennis courts, pool. Don't know the cost associated with the amenities but almost bought there myself (just too far from the coast for me).
And then there's a few other sub-d's a bit more north/up Dorchester Road. Again with more land; look at Walnut Farms, too.
Good luck!

OP's looking for 10 acre lots.....
Honestly, for your budget I'd consider upper Dorchester/Berkeley Cos, maybe around Ridgeville. Land can still be had out there & once the Volvo plant starts producing, count on amenities & shopping to soon follow.
I live a little further out in the country and SCE&G does not supply my area with natural gas so I contacted Carolina Gas and got a propane tank buried in the back of the house and they come ever so often to keep it full. We love cooking on LP.
So...the weekends have been consumed with driving all these areas. We are completely out of the 10 acre market. More like 1-2 acres. We will settle for the house next to us not being right outside the door. We actually like it a little further out in the Ridgeville area...we came across Wassamassaw. I did some searching through the forum and it looks like it has been developing for a very long time now!? The homes are beautiful, the lots range in size...but anyone know why it seems to not be developing as quickly? I can see it is a little further out if you want close proximity to the beach, but we don't think it is a far drive at all (coming from the north, we can say that! We are still looking, and the idea of a full on construction project is daunting to think about, but we just can't seem to find the right home in the right subdivision. We also happened across the neighborhood The Summit in Summerville, older homes but a little larger lots....but nothing for sale that we were willing to buy and overhaul. We also ended up in Winterseat (Ridgeville), which said it was a gated community but the gate was open and it seemed to be just a few very nice streets with homes on a few acres each. There are some lots for sale out there too. We don't mind driving a little to get to places, or the grocery store.
I was going to suggest The Summit. I never heard of Winterseat in Ridgeville but after googling, that looks really nice. I'll have to drive out there and check it out. I simply love looking at new homes..not buying though.
If you consider Ridgeville, just make sure you're not near the new Volvo plant. It'll bring a lot of traffic out that way. I've heard a few people that live out there complain about the plant because they moved out to Ridgeville for the country and quiet and then they go build a big plant out there but Winterseat looks very nice.. I too love houses not right up on each other. I did that once and never again. I need my space and more privacy.
You might try looking at Gadsden Manor subdivision in Summerville but they might be too close together but that's a nice neighborhood. Or try Knightville. Knighsville has more land.
Good luck to you. By the way, how do you like Summerville?
Knights like has land and good school. Easy transportation to shopping/groceries. I highly recommend.
