Property Description
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.The property includes not only a beautifully maintained Johns Island residence but also a rare offering: a private 1.78-acre island retreat with an additional 3.3 acres of marshland. This island sanctuary is the crown jewel, a place where you can cast a line for redfish, drop a crab trap, or simply watch pelicans, seagulls, and dolphins at play from your deepwater dock. Evenings bring unforgettable sunsets and the slow passage of yachts drifting by, best enjoyed with your favorite cocktail in hand.Whether it is quiet reflection, outdoor adventures, or unforgettable gatherings under the stars, this island delivers a true escape. Back on the mainland side, the charming four-bedroom home has been lovingly cared for and thoughtfully refreshed. Step inside to discover rich hardwood floors paired with classic shiplap walls. The heart of the home is a spacious, light-filled kitchen that serves as both a gathering space and a gourmet workspace, complete with a large quartz-topped island, stainless steel appliances, and a built-in wine fridge. The primary bathroom has been reimagined into a spa-like haven, with a jetted soaking tub, tiled walk-in shower, and elegant fixtures that invite you to slow down and unwind. Outside the residence, the setting unfolds into lush grounds brimming with edible landscaping: olive, orange, lemon, pecan, and apple trees, plus blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, herbs, and vegetables, all perfect for a farm-to-table lifestyle. A detached shed provides space for gardening, hobbies, or extra storage, while porches and a tucked-away gazebo invite you to linger in the gentle salt air. The detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) adds even more flexibility to the property, ideal as an in-law suite, private home office, gym, or fully legal short-term rental to generate year-round income. This property offers a lifestyle like no other: a peaceful Johns Island retreat with both a character-rich main home and a private island sanctuary. Located just a short drive from Charleston's best dining, shopping, and entertainment, it delivers a rare opportunity to live, relax, and invest in one extraordinary location.
