WADMALAW ISLAND

Driving down Maybank road on Wadmalaw Island is like taking a step back in time. Wadmalaw Island is one of the most undeveloped habitable areas in Charleston. Between John’s Island, Edisto Island, Wadmalaw is home to working farms and the only remaining tea plantation in America; the Charleston Tea Plantation makers of “American Classic Tea” dating back to 1700's when the first Tea Plant arrives in the United States from China.

"Rural & Wildlife” best describes Wadmalaw Island as there is almost no commercial development. Residential real estate contains no high-density subdivision, only rural estates. One of the few communities is the town of Rockville. Homes range from modest fixers to estates listed in the millions, but they all share a rural tranquility of the classic Southern island life. If you’re looking for unspoiled lands not far from Charleston, that provide a calm and rural lifestyle, then Wadmalaw Island should be on your short list.
