Burden Creek Homes for Sale on Johns Island, SC

Burden Creek is a small, exclusive enclave on Johns Island, SC, tucked off River Road along the tidal waters of its namesake creek. With only around ten estate-sized lots — many stretching from roughly three-quarters of an acre to a couple of acres or more — it offers a rare sense of privacy and space, shaded by mature live oaks.

Water is central to the appeal here. Burden Creek flows into the Stono River, giving residents a scenic setting for kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and boating right from home. Homes are elegant, elevated Lowcountry designs with generous porches and creek or marsh views, and portions of the neighborhood carry the added freedom of no HOA. It is a natural fit for buyers who want acreage, water access, and a quiet, tucked-away setting.

Despite the seclusion, Burden Creek stays close to Kiawah, Seabrook, Freshfields Village, and downtown Charleston. Explore the latest Burden Creek homes for sale below, and browse more Johns Island homes for sale to compare communities across the island.
