Lots and Land for Sale in Awendaw, SC

Awendaw is a rural coastal town in Charleston County, South Carolina, tucked along Highway 17 North just a short drive above Mount Pleasant. Named for the Sewee people who first called this area home, Awendaw is surrounded by roughly 350,000 acres of protected land — the Francis Marion National Forest, the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge, and the Santee Coastal Reserve — giving it a wild, unspoiled character that is increasingly rare this close to Charleston.

That protected setting is exactly why Awendaw is one of the Lowcountry's best places to buy land. Instead of dense subdivisions and small lots, buyers here find spacious acreage parcels, wooded homesites shaded by mature live oaks, equestrian and horse-friendly properties, and deep-water and tidal-creek lots with access to Awendaw Creek, Bulls Bay, and the Intracoastal Waterway. Many parcels carry no HOA and leave room for a custom home, a small farm, a hunting retreat, or a private waterfront estate.

Life in Awendaw revolves around the outdoors. Residents boat, fish, shrimp, crab, and kayak the surrounding creeks and marshes, launch from nearby landings like Buck Hall and Garris Landing, and explore miles of trails through the Francis Marion National Forest. Local landmarks include Bulls Bay Golf Club, the Center for Birds of Prey, the Sewee Visitor and Environmental Education Center, and the beloved Awendaw Green Barn Jam music nights at the Sewee Outpost.

Waterfront and acreage communities such as Bulls Bay Overlook, Romain Retreat, Paradise Island, Pepper Plantation, and Awendaw Lakes offer everything from gated waterfront estates to peaceful wooded lots. With Mount Pleasant's shopping, dining, hospitals, and beaches only minutes away and downtown Charleston an easy drive south, Awendaw delivers privacy and natural beauty without sacrificing convenience.
