4400 Wando Farms Way


Welcome to 440 Wando Farms Way...
Very few people will ever experience the prestigious lifestyle found on this 573 acre nature conservation easement, the peace and quiet, the gorgeous nature – the sense of well-being, yet, those living here also enjoy all the modern conveniences of Mt. Pleasant – Wando High School and Roper Hospital are five minutes away; Town Center, and the beaches are within 10 minutes, and the Ravenel Bridge is only 14 miles away.  With one and a half miles of protected frontage on Highway 17 North, this is truly an oasis inside a fast growing town.
A unique combination of elegance, privacy, and exclusivity can be found at Wando Farms; a development shared by only 14 fortunate owners, (no more ever), each enjoying their own private estates within the enclave. From horse-back riding (from the community’s 7 stall barn), bicycling, jogging or riding an ATV,  the farm’s untouched hardwood and pine forests and wide open fields are abundant with wild birds (turkeys, bald eagles, ospreys, hawks and owls), and nesting turtles and deer.  Towering ancient oak trees shade the long soft-sand roads and trails that crisscross the land.
The farm’s Organic Gardening club is producing seasonal crops for all the residents, and the farm’s 30+ year old kiwi grove, produces thousands every season.  The farm’s Hunt Club, restricted to owners and their guests – plant rows of winter wheat, oats, clover, radishes, blue lupine, sunflowers and more for the farm’s wild animals to sustain a healthy eco-system, especially for the deer and turkeys.
Fresh and salt water anglers are in heaven, whether casting for shrimp mid-tide or setting traps for blue crabs, or taking their john boats to cast across the marshes, the salt water bounty always delights; kayaking is the best way to enjoy the snowy white cranes and other seabirds, while motor boating or jet skiing on the river can take you all the way back to the city’s harbor.
Golfers love the many nearby courses, especially the magnificent Bulls Bay Course right across the highway.  Skeet and target shooting on the farm are popular activities throughout the year.
This is a place that draws friends and family to gather, to enjoy a healthy lifestyle of hiking, swimming, fishing, gardening, grilling; all experiencing a real love of the Low Country – this place beckons everyone to kick off their shoes and relax. 

And now, one very special home is available. 
Built in 2000 it has recently been enlarged and redesigned to approximately 4,200 welcoming square feet.  The new design captures the soul of casual and elegant Charleston Low Country living -- with sunlit rooms, porches everywhere and solid materials.  Elegant, authentic spaces -- both warm and cozy and big and bright.
Three high ceilinged master bedrooms are on the main floor, each with full baths and private porches to access the outside, and two loft bedrooms (which are now used as his and her home-offices) provide ample room for everyone.  The Great Room ceiling soars, with hand hewn beams and its wood-burning fireplace built of river stones from Montana.  The floors are over a century old heart pine.
The sun room, designed with black/white diagonal tiles and soft yellow walls calls out old Charleston style, while the 640 square foot French-country Kitchen, with its soaring ceiling, windows on both sides, access to both a front kitchen garden porch and the back yard, is centered with a 10 foot’ quartzite island and state-of-the art cabinets and appliances.  It is a cook’s dream. 
Storage has been considered in every room – the best, the owners dressing suite – with her personal shoe and handbag closet, it is over-the-top luxury in every way.
The best – the house is sited on one of the most beautiful estuaries anywhere, facing southwest, dramatic big-sky sunsets reflect on the River, framed by moss covered ancient live oak trees whose graceful branches stretch over the water and the dock; with its grill, table that seats 8 and seating for even more, this is where everyone comes together for family fun.  It is truly an extension of the home.
The owner’s 17’ft motorboat, sits on a floating dock; the kayak and the john boat compete with it for attention.  A brand new Hot Springs spa is tucked under the oaks, with its blue-tooth sound system, it’s the ideal perch to watch the sun go down. 
Entering this paradise through old—Carolina style hand-made brick columns and oversized carriage lights, through a gracious courtyard, electric gates open to a shaded pea gravel drive, a lovely Colonial style garden full of fruit trees, flowers, roses and herbs. 
The entire front yard has been fenced to keep pets nearby. 

Guests know they have arrived somewhere very special, a place where nature, tranquility, sunshine and the water melt tensions away. 
This home was redesigned by people whose families have lived in Charleston for many generations; they lovingly developed it to optimize its sense of place and Charleston’s famed hospitality. This property is bounded by the historical Old King’s Highway, a sand shell road which leads onto the shared lands of this community, the Old King’s Highway is thought to have been a wagon trail connecting Charleston to Boston, Massachusetts, that predates the Revolutionary War.   
Enjoy the simple unhurried pleasures of listening to morning birdsong with coffee on the dock, never underestimating the beauty that is here, inside these gates, protected, preserved as Mt. Pleasant used to be.
