Clearview Dr. , North Charleston, SC 29420(Charleston County)

Being an older un-subdivided privately owned tract, it would allow an owner to apply for one dock permit that meets the length and square footage requirements outlined by DHEC / OCRM. This would allow an adjoining high-ground owner to not only own and control 340 acres of pristine habitat, but also to increase his property value by having a dock to a tidal creek or potentially to the Ashley River. Potential bidders are advised that access to the marsh from Whitehall and the Refuge at Whitehall subdivisions is restricted by specific covenants, buffers and conservation easements to Middleton Place, so placement of a dock from these properties is most likely impossible. Jeff Thompson DHEC / OCRM Ashley River Historic District Expert has agreed to field inquiries from potential bidders and answer questions about possible permitting.

While a portion of the property is located within the city limits of North Charleston, and is subject to fire arms discharge ordinance, a significant portion is only subject to Dorchester County regulations, which may allow hunting on private property. The buyer would be well advised to check all DNR, County and Historic District regulations if hunting is anticipated.

While there is no survey delineating high ground and wetlands, and we make absolutely NO representation about the existence any high ground, satellite maps show several areas of trees possibly representing marsh-islands. A successful buyer would be well advised to have a survey done which could delineate wetlands and any potential high-ground.

This is important conservation property. A buyer wishing to remove a large portion of Ashley River lowland marsh from unbridled private ownership could promote conservation and simultaneously receive significant tax benefits by purchasing this tract and donating a conservation easement to an appropriate land trust.

While this tract does appear to have one ingress point across a drainage area on Clearview Drive, the access point is not cleared, thus viewing should be done carefully from privately owned lot points, or by boat from the Ashley River.
