On over 12 acres! Wraparound porch and a 2-acre lake! C. 1987 in South Carolina. $1,749,000.
This white two-story farmhouse sits on 12.11 acres in Ravenel, South Carolina, about 3,770 square feet under a metal roof. The listing calls it “Oak Grove,” a private Lowcountry estate and family compound. Big live oaks shade the lawn out front, and a wraparound porch runs along the house.
It was built in 1987 and has five bedrooms and five bathrooms in total, counting the guest house. Charleston is a short drive away, but the setting feels a long way from it.
6302 Highway 165, Ravenel, SC 29470 — $1,749,000
The Porch and the Oaks
The first thing you notice is the full wraparound porch with white railings and steps that come down to the lawn. A brick chimney rises up the side of the house, and dark shutters frame the windows against the white siding.
The yard is open, manicured grass with large oaks scattered across it. The listing describes the grounds as manicured and very private.
Features:
- Full wraparound porch
- Wood siding exterior
- Metal roof
- Manicured grounds with mature oaks
12 Acres, With a Way to Split Them
The lot is 12.11 acres. The listing says it is subdividable, which would let a buyer add another dwelling for a multi-generation family compound.
The listing photos include a concept plan that shows the land divided in two, with the existing house on roughly 7 acres and a second homesite on 5 or more. That plan is conceptual only, and any split would need local approvals.
Features:
- 12.11 acres
- Subdividable per the listing
- Wrought iron and wire fencing
- Gazebo on the property
The Two-Acre Lake
There is a lake of about two acres on the property, and the listing counts it among the main draws. The data also lists a dock, along with pond and lagoon waterfront.
Water, privacy and acreage in one place is what the listing is selling here, and it is hard to find this close to Charleston.
Features:
- Roughly 2-acre lake
- Dock
- Pond and lagoon waterfront
The Main House
The main house is described as a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home with hardwood floors, quartz countertops, a fireplace and a primary suite. The house has two stories and a crawl space foundation.
Smooth ceilings and walk-in closets are listed among the interior features.
Features:
- Hardwood floors, refinished
- Quartz countertops
- Fireplace
- Primary suite
- Walk-in closets
Kitchen and Baths
The listing says the kitchen and baths have been updated, though it gives no more detail than that. The quartz countertops are the one specific it names.
The whole property has five bathrooms in all: four full and one half.
Features:
- Updated kitchen
- Updated baths
- 4 full and 1 half bath
Updates to the Systems
The seller lists the major updates as a metal roof, new HVAC and refinished hardwood floors. Those are the big-ticket items on an older house, and they are already done.
Water comes from a well and the home is on a septic tank, as you would expect on this much land.
Features:
- Metal roof
- New HVAC
- Well water
- Septic
The Garage and Guest House
A detached three-bay garage sits near the house. Above it is a 1,200 square foot guest house with two bedrooms and two baths.
The listing pitches it for family or extra living space, which fits the compound idea.
Features:
- Detached 3-car garage
- 1,200 sq ft guest house
- 2 bedrooms, 2 baths in the guest house

Schools and Location
The home is in the Shilelagh Oaks area of Ravenel. Nearby schools are E.B. Ellington Elementary, which is 2.9 miles away, and Baptist Hill High School at 4.3 miles. GreatSchools rates both a 2.
The listing puts it minutes from Charleston and says it is close to the beaches.
Features:
- E.B. Ellington Elementary (PK-5)
- Baptist Hill High School (6-12)
At $1,749,000 this is a big purchase, and it has already come down once from the original ask. It makes sense for a family that wants room, water and a guest house, and maybe a second homesite someday.
It has been on the market about 60 days. If you want a private Lowcountry property with a farmhouse porch and a lake, this one is worth a close look.
