Kiawah River Estates is a private, gated community located within the lush, semitropical environment of Johns Island, South Carolina. Sharing a length of coastline with Kiawah and Seabrook islands, it is peacefully secluded yet no more than a 20-minute ride from downtown Charleston, SC. The community’s beauty and prestige is enhanced by the neighboring Oak Point Golf Club, part of the Kiawah Island portfolio of award-winning golf courses. Homesites that border the course take particular advantage of the adjacency to Oak Point. Building got underway in the early 1990s on this exclusive and reclusive subdivision, and until recently the neighborhood was known as Hope Plantation, a nod to the area’s history as a thriving cotton and indigo plantation centuries ago. Just last year, homeowners decided to rename the community after the nearby Kiawah River.  It’s the perfect location - you have the privacy and luxury of the island yet you’re just a short drive from downtown. World-renowned Kiawah Island, just a mile away, is draped in lavish magnificence, and adjacent Kiawah River Estates is no different. For starters, the neighborhood is situated on Oak Point, one of America’s best golf courses, according to Golfweek magazine. Although Oak Point is a public course, residents of Kiawah River Estates enjoy its pristine landscaping and many other amenities that make the neighborhood unique. For example, only those who live in Kiawah River Estates have access to the community’s beautiful swimming pool and tennis courts. But Kiawah River Estates isn’t just for people looking to strengthen their breaststroke or perfect their backswing; it’s also a nature lover’s paradise. Steeped in a beautiful semitropical environment, Johns Island has been home to alligators, eagles, egrets and many other species of wildlife for thousands of years. Residents can sit on the front porch of their homes while eating breakfast and watch a flock of stunning white egrets seamlessly soar across the morning sky. Athletics and aesthetic scenery aren’t the only reasons people are flocking to Kiawah River Estates. Some are looking for a peaceful place to enjoy a well-earned retirement or find the perfect vacation home. Others, however, are simply interested in cashing in on the area’s increasing popularity. In addition to its ideal location, the popularity of Kiawah River Estates is driven by its diverse atmosphere. Unlike many new subdivisions, this one fortunately has its own sense of style. It’s not a cookie-cutter community; each home is built with a unique Lowcountry design, allowing home builders to be expressive and creative, while maintaining visually unifying impressions of community and style. John’s Towne, a subdivision embedded within Kiawah River Estates, is the only part of the community with a design plan. Each of these homes includes a detached garage and a long, narrow front porch, and they are painted in bright pastel colors, giving each home a distinct Charleston flavor.
