And priced accordingly. The other hitch would be people working for (or being owners) for manufacturers/businesses in Summerville and beyond who doo not want to drive across the entire metro to get to the existing neighborhoods of this type in northern Mt P or South of West Ashley.


I'm in the same boat as one of the posters above. My house is fairly close to downtown and on .33 acres. I'm kinda over it at this point but cannot see anything else in my area with that lot size that isn't priced twice as high.

Wouldn't your house be priced twice as high as well? Sounds like you're in a good position.

On the flip side, Johns Island is close to the beaches, so I think people are more willing to overlook the schools there than they would in Ridgeville.

Well we are moving forward with the deal in Ridgeville and Aetcas funny you mention it but we actually have another one that's just up the road from Cane Bay with minimum lot sizes of 100' x 300'. Eastwood Homes is the builder. Both positions will have homes 2300-3800 sq ft and we'll have some really nice larger ranch plans that we wouldn't normally be able to do on the typical 50' or 60' wide lot. I'm really excited about both communities

Eastwood is a reputable Builder, they put together a solid house and have several good functional floorplans.

That area out there is about to go Boom....Prices are already increasing. Is this site near Bridlewood Farms ??

I would suggest to the OP, start gathering Comp Sales on larger than typical Parcels for when the Appraisers & Lenders get involved. A new house on a large lot might be puzzling to someone from out of the area.

It's on Carter road behind Bridlewood (Carolina Bay). We've already done all the comp analysis and it definitely pencils. Was more or less just taking some additional temperatures from people in the area. Almost all typical subdivision lots are 50' wide. Our lots here will be 150' wide

Did you mention a Price Point for the new Eastwood Homes ??

Just out of curiosity.....how far away did you go for Comp Sales on Large Parcels ??

If there's money to be made, urban sprawl will triumph. Expensive infrastructure. My standard is: can my kids walk to the neighbors easily??

we pulled comps from within the community as well as one next door. Kids would certainly be able to walk or ride bikes to neighbors etc. It's a gated community

What is the name of your new community near Cane Bay? Sounds very intriguing:-) Great to see a builder who actually cares about offering bigger lot sizes!

LOLNope. Life's too short to spend it stuck in traffic. But I lived in downtown Seattle before coming here partially for the commute since it was maybe 10 minutes each way so what do I know...
