2 Captain Maynards Is, Johns Island, SC 29455

The exceptionally rare homesite at 2 Captain Maynards Island offers an extraordinary opportunity to inhabit more than five acres of the largest unobstructed strip of land on the East Coast. Enjoying nearly endless water views, the homesite feels exceptionally serene beside the lapping waters of a wide tidal creek that is itself a distributary of the Kiawah River. It’s incredibly private, reached only via a secure gate shaded by live oaks draped with Spanish moss and a delightfully secluded causeway. The continuous water and marsh views continue along the entirety of the causeway. Kiawah’s spectacular skies reflect in the vast stretches of water beyond a shore lined with marsh rushes. Rolling along the causeway feels like leaving all the cares of the world behind. Seemingly a world away, this extraordinary highland homesite features a private creek dock. Here, the sky’s the limit: boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, crabbing, catching sight of egrets, blue herons, sandpipers, plovers, and other shorebirds. The lush, sun-dappled island itself is shaded by live oaks and other native Island trees, and yet plentiful in open spaces. Golden sunlight slanting through the leaves in early morning and evening is paralleled only by sun streaming across the water at sunrise and sunset. Not only is there potential to build both a main house and guesthouse, the island offers a myriad of additional places perfectly sited for open pavilions, pergolas, porch swings, firepits, and outdoor game spaces. And yet, seemingly impossibly, the homesite is in incredibly easy reach of the finest of Club amenities. It’s only a six-minute waterside drive to the River Course, its clubhouse with its gastropub dining and renowned Oyster Bar—named one of the “coolest spots in golf” by GOLF magazine in 2019, the serenely riverside Sasanqua Spa, and more. Boardwalk no. 28 to Kiawah’s immaculate beach, meanwhile, is just a ten-minute bicycle ride away. Truly offering the best of both worlds—pairing its singular seclusion with elite Kiawah Island Club living—this homesite can also be purchased with the island’s only other homesite. Together, the two are exceptionally ideal for a multi-generation family estate. The many additional features of this homesite include existing power cables, transformers, a potable water main, a fire hydrant, and cable infrastructure along with a planned teardrop-shaped turnaround on the island. A possibility for a helipad exists upon the successful grant of a variance by the Town of Kiawah Island. A Kiawah Island Club Golf Membership is available with the purchase of this property, giving Members access to world-class golf at Cassique and River Course, along with an unmatched collection of amenities including a 9,000-square-foot fitness facility, beach clubs overlooking the ocean, five-star dining experiences, spa, boathouse, Marsh House, and a bed & breakfast located in downtown Charleston.
