About This Property

Welcome to 3591 Bayou Road, where the magic of waterfront living meets the income-generating potential of a short-term rental-qualified ADU, and your own private boat ramp invites you to slip into the Lowcountry's scenic tidal waterways with ease. Cast a line for redfish at sunset, set a crab trap from the dock, or simply soak in the stillness of the salt air--this is coastal living at its most soulful. This one-of-a-kind Johns Island retreat is a rare and remarkable offering, complete with a charming four-bedroom home and a detached accessory dwelling unit. Tucked beneath the canopy of moss-draped oaks, this peaceful retreat captures the soul of Lowcountry living with just the right blend of seclusion, comfort, and easygoing Southern charm. The main residence has been lovingly cared for and thoughtfully refreshed. Step inside to discover rich hardwood floors that stretch throughout, paired with classic shiplap walls. The heart of the home is a spacious, light-filled kitchen, equal parts gathering space and gourmet workspace, complete with a large quartz-topped island, stainless steel appliances, and a built-in wine fridge. The primary bathroom has been thoughtfully reimagined into a spa-like haven, featuring a jetted soaking tub, a tiled walk-in shower, and elegant fixtures that invite you to slow down and unwind.

Outside, the true magic unfolds. Set along a serene tidal canal, this home offers direct water access with a private boat ramp, making it effortless to launch your boat, kayak, or paddleboard whenever the mood strikes. The lush grounds are a gardener's dream, brimming with a bounty of edible landscaping: olive, orange, lemon, pecan, and apple trees, plus blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, herbs, and vegetables, all perfect for a farm-to-table lifestyle. Outside, you'll also find a detached shed, ideal for use as a garden workspace, hobby studio, or simple extra storage. From sun-drenched porches to a tucked-away gazebo, every inch of this property embraces the laid-back elegance and natural beauty of Johns Island.

The detached ADU adds incredible flexibility to the property, perfect as an in-law suite, private home office, gym, or a fully legal short-term rental to generate income year-round. Whether you're welcoming guests or hosting travelers, this space is ready to work for you. Just a short drive from Charleston's best dining, shopping, and entertainment, this property delivers a rare opportunity to live, relax, and invest, all in one extraordinary location.
