A private Lowcountry escape where marsh, water, and mature natural surroundings set the backdrop--yet Folly Beach and historic Downtown Charleston are only minutes away. Located in the distinctive Sol Legare community, 2363 Sol Legare presents an exceptional opportunity to build a one-of-a-kind residence on approximately half an acre in a setting that feels remarkably removed from the city.Included with the property are approved plans by acclaimed architect Jesus Acosta for a sophisticated contemporary residence created to take full advantage of this unique site. The architecture pairs modern forms with natural materials, allowing the home to open toward the landscape and creating a strong connection between the interior, outdoor living areas, and marsh views.The proposed main residence offers three bedrooms and 4.5 baths, with an open living plan designed around light, views, and entertaining. A generous kitchen and oversized island anchor the primary gathering space, while large expanses of glass extend the living areas onto terraces and covered outdoor spaces--ideal for enjoying coastal breezes, quiet mornings, and spectacular evening skies. The outdoor experience is an integral part of the design. The plans, thoughtfully created by Jaque Studio, incorporate a private pool, two hot tubs, a hot/cold plunge, and an outdoor shower, creating an environment equally suited to entertaining or unwinding in complete privacy. A pond within the property adds another dimension to the landscape, and the home's placement was thoughtfully conceived to maximize the relationship between the residence and the water. Beyond the main house, the plans provide remarkable flexibility with a separate one-bedroom, one-bath studio suite as well as a detached one-bedroom, one-bath guest house. These additional spaces open the door to a variety of uses, including private accommodations for family and guests, a home office, fitness or wellness space, creative studio, or potential rental use. If the proposed construction design is not what you imagine this stunning lot is the perfect spot for your custom lowcountry luxury home! Significant preparation has already been completed to get you started on the project. The homesite has been filled, water and sewer transfer fees have been paid, and the architectural plans were previously approved--eliminating several of the early hurdles typically associated with creating a custom property. Sol Legare is prized for its unmistakable Lowcountry character and connection to the water, and this property captures that atmosphere beautifully. The recently renovated Sol Legare Boat Ramp is just down the road, providing convenient access for boating, fishing, paddleboarding, and exploring Charleston's waterways. Rarely does a vacant homesite offer this combination of privacy, architectural vision, water and marsh scenery, and proximity to both the beach and Downtown Charleston. 2363 Sol Legare is an opportunity to create something truly special--a modern coastal retreat that feels worlds away while keeping the best of Charleston close at hand.
