Nestled just three miles from Folly Beach, this rare James Island opportunity offers more than just a home—it delivers a lifestyle. Situated on a .4-acre lot, 1816 Battery Island Drive features an existing 729 sq ft Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) with 2 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom, allowing for immediate use, rental income, or a creative place to stay while you design and build your dream home.

The existing ADU is fully inhabitable and offers flexibility for those who envision custom construction on the property. Use the current space as a guest cottage, office, or rental while you build—or choose to remove it entirely and start fresh. Either way, the lot’s size, orientation, and infrastructure provide a prime canvas. With county water and sewer already in place, you're one step closer to making your vision a reality.

Enjoy tranquil marsh views across the street and the luxury of salty air and ocean breezes flowing through mature oak and pecan trees that grace the property. A curved driveway would beautifully complement the existing canopy, offering a grand entrance to your future home. There’s ample room to design a layout that maximizes outdoor living and embraces the natural setting.

Beyond the lot’s potential, the location is second to none. Battery Island Drive offers a serene, local feel while keeping you just minutes from everything—beaches, shopping, dining, and downtown Charleston. Whether you're dreaming of a private retreat, a beachside investment, or building a forever home, this property is positioned to deliver both lifestyle and value.

Build now or hold for later—the choice is yours. Properties with this level of flexibility, location, and character are incredibly rare.
