Twenty minutes from historic Charleston and just south of the charming Victorian town of Summerville is a small, intimate community nestled among lush hardwoods and towering cedars. The salt marshes of the Ashley River and Coosaw Creek border this “conservation community” that lies on a 26-acre peninsula across from the historic buildings and gardens of Middleton Place…
While located just off the major artery of Dorchester Road, The Refuge is a world apart from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It uniquely combines a feeling of close-knit community with the quiet serenity of nature in a setting steeped in history.
It’s the kind of place where you can gather with friends in a beautifully appointed but graciously comfortable home - or where you can wander off by yourself to enjoy the majesty of the natural surrounding.
An elegant, old-fashioned brick entrance leads to 63 quarter- to one-acre private home sites surrounded by scores of native trees. A conservation easement along the marshes protects the view and wildlife, and features a nature trail that leads to a private community dock on Coosaw Creek where residents can take in spectacular carolina sunsets. A lovely gazebo provides a meeting place for families and friends.
The master plan for The Refuge was developed by Connor Engineering, Inc. with architectural design by the award-winning Byers Design Group, Inc. The homes and landscaping preserve the integrity of the “low country,” with wraparound porches, screened lanais, sunrooms and native plantings that enhance enjoyment of the natural surroundings.
Living space ranges from approximately 2,200 square feet to 4,000 square feet in a variety of open floor plans that are conducive to both social gatherings and private moments.
A limited number of approved homebuilders are participating in the creation of this unique community.
