102 Ashley River Drive

Tucked along the iconic Ashley River Road corridor, beneath the canopy of centuries-old live oaks, this custom-built farmhouse retreat offers a rare blend of privacy, character, and modern comfort on over an acre in one of Charleston's most scenic subdivisions, Mateeba Estates. Built in 2022 and thoughtfully designed for the way people want to live today, 102 Ashley River Drive feels like a property discovered--not just another house on the market.Set back from the road on over an acre, the home makes a first impression that feels private. A full-length front porch stretches across the entire facade--an unmistakable Lowcountry feature that expands the living space outdoors and is perfect for sipping your morning cup of coffee. Inside, the home opens into a bright, open-concept layout designed for everyday living and entertaining. The living room features a fireplace and flows seamlessly into a spacious kitchen with butcher block and granite countertops, a gas range, kitchen island, and room for both a full dining area and generous gathering space around the main living area. It has the openness buyers love in new construction, but with far more character, land, and thoughtful features than the typical newer "cookie-cutter" alternatives on small lots. One of the home's standout advantages is the first-floor primary suite, with separate his-and-hers walk-in closets, a dual vanity, and a tiled walk-in shower with glass enclosure. Also on the main floor, a dedicated office provides flexible space for working from home, hobbies, or a quiet retreat. Upstairs, oversized secondary bedrooms--approximately 15x17--offer the kind of space rarely found outside of the master, each with large closets. Throughout the home, thoughtful details like a dedicated laundry room, multiple storage closets, newer HVAC, and a dedicated generator inlet hookup--allowing a portable generator to power the home when needed--add practicality and peace of mind. Then step outside, where this property truly separates itself. The large screened porch invites year-round outdoor living--morning coffee, oyster roasts, Lowcountry boils, game days, and evenings by the firepit. The backyard has room to roam, garden, raise chickens, add in a pool, or simply enjoy the privacy of your own homestead-style setting. A huge 24x24 detached garage with soaring 12-foot center ceilings and built-in workbench is ideal for hobbyists, boat owners, or anyone needing serious workspace. A covered breezeway connects it to the home, while the rear awning creates additional covered storage for a golf cart, outdoor gear, or recreational toys. There's also a storage shed and chicken coop, making this property as practical as it is charming. As evening falls, exterior track lighting creates a warm nighttime glow that makes the home feel even more magical. For those drawn to the water and outdoor lifestyle, owners have the option to join the neighborhood boat ramp access And while the setting feels tucked away and peaceful, you're minutes from the beauty of Magnolia Plantation and within easy reach of Downtown Summerville and Charleston. For buyers looking for newer construction without sacrificing land, privacy, charm, storage, or access to the Lowcountry lifestyle, this is a rare offering. Whether you envision space for all to roam, room for boats and projects, evenings around the firepit, or simply life on one of Charleston's most beautiful corridors--this home delivers.
