The third part of the series of Mt. Pleasant Communities brings us along Mathis Ferry Road from the Ravenel Bridge to the East Cooper Hospital.  The communities vary in price range as one side of the road is on the water and or marsh. Of course, these homes are higher priced and we don't see many homes being sold. People know they have a good thing and hold on to it. Location, location, location! Remley's Point has exquisite homes though nothing is available right now. The last home sold for $1,225,000. As exclusive as it is, you wouldn't think it had a public boat ramp but it does. It seems to be the hot spot to launch your boat for local Cooper River and Wando River fishing. Another neighborhood along Mathis Ferry is I'on.  I'on is fashioned after the traditional Charleston single homes. The homes are purposely close together. There are wonderful restaurants and shops. The I'on Club features clay tennis courts, aquatics, and fitness center. The homes start in the $700s and go up to just over $2 million dollars. Olde Park homes start at $1 million and up. If you're asking if there are lower-priced homes...there are. As I mentioned, there are many communities across the other side of Mathis Ferry.   Some of the other communities are Heron Pointe, Somerset Point, Wakendaw Lakes. I've attached a link for available homes in these neighborhoods:  Available Homes  There are also vacant land lots in some of these communities so you can build your own custom home. I can share all the available lots with you if you prefer to build.  If you'd like more details on any community in Mt. Pleasant just let me know and I can show you and email you homes that are specific to your wish list.  Donna Andreano Donna.Andreano@AgentOwnedRealty.com(843) 256-3348YourHomeInCharleston.com  You can download & use my Official MLS App to search for homes in any area of Charleston here!

I'on has an amazing history! You may know the Community of I'on as being one of Mt. Pleasant's most Premier neighborhoods, but do you know the History of the 243-Acre Subdivision? I didn't either until I came across the I'on Cemetery on a bike ride one day and had to do some further digging. It has a rich history dating back to the 17th Century when it was first settled.       It is likely that the cemetery was first used to bury David Maybank in 1713 and his wife Susannah in 1716, who were the original settlers of these lands. A Carpenter from England, Maybank made his residences on the Peninsula of Charleston and Hobcaw Plantation. Hobcaw Plantation included the lands of the I'on neighborhood. It is clear that Maybank built a residence in I'on before 1713, as stated in his will, leaving his plantation to his wife.            After being passed down through the family for generations, in 1854, Jacob Bond I'on, great-grandson of David Maybank, erected the oblesque monument still standing in the cemetery today. The monument paid tribute to the Maybank, Read, Bond, and I'on families who had inherited the property through generations. Three sides of the monument were engraved at the time, and the fourth side left blank, possibly for Jabob himself. A wrought iron fence was built surrounding the monument. The fourth side was indeed completed in the 1930s as a Memorial to Jacob.              In 1995 Vince and Tom Grahm visited the property and decided they wanted to contract a "traditional neighborhood." They named it I'on after Jacob Bond I'on, who was said to have "a dignity unequivocal, yet wholly free from assertion, beautifully blended with a courtesy so genuine, as to draw your heart unconsciously to him." Their goal was to create a neighborhood worthy of its namesake and also pay tribute to the long history of the plan.

This neighborhood was developed about 20 years ago. At first, people complained because homes were too close together and the streets were narrow. And in those days, prices for homes were high, and nobody believed this neighborhood would survive. Well, all the doubters are now lovers of this truly unique neighborhood located in the Town of Mount Pleasant SC and just minutes away from historic downtown Charleston, from the beaches of Isle of Palms or Sullivans Island. This neighborhood is also walkable to shops and restaurants, boutiques, and various services.  I’ON is rich in Southern traditional architecture, various building styles, full of trees, creeks and all left as nature has intended it to grow and be. This is a vibrant neighborhood for people, kids, pets, and gatherings around the lakes and ponds. Plenty of hiking trails, small parks, and bike paths.            Most roads in I’On are very narrow to slow down traffic and disturb nature as little as possible. The land itself dates back to the late 17th century when it was first settled and before these 250 acres were developed, several archaeological studies were commissioned not to disturb any historic sites but also to research who settled here first several hundred years ago.           Home prices in I’ON are today between $700,000 and $2,500,000 and homes usually sell very fast in this unique and high demand neighborhood.  For more info on I’ON and homes, please contact me at Ute Appleby - AgentOwned Realty or  simply call me at 843.345.2625 Homes for sale in I’ON: https://www.flexmls.com/share/4IAnn/Selected
