6411 CHINA BACK LANE, MEGGETT, SC 29449

Private Acreage, Deepwater Access, and City Life on Your Terms

There aren't many places left where you can live on 5+ private acres behind a gate, with deepwater access and a private dock, surrounded by marsh and mature oaks, and still grab groceries or a coffee in under 5 minutes. Archfield Plantation in Meggett is one of them.

• Away From It All — But Not Far From Anything

This custom-built waterfront estate on 5.25 private acres offers deepwater access and a private dock. Designed and constructed with uncompromising attention to detail, this exceptional property offers direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway via a private dock featuring a floater and a 10,000-lb boat lift.

Thoughtfully designed for luxurious single-level living, the home has been extensively renovated to include a stunning new kitchen, updated flooring, shiplap accents, and a convenient elevator.

The home sits at the end of a cul-de-sac on 5.25 acres — genuinely away from the hustle and bustle, with downtown Charleston just 35 minutes away when the mood strikes. A library and pool complex, community park, dining, and everyday conveniences are all right down the road.

• Exterior Highlights

From the ground up, this Spanish-style home was engineered to stand — spread footers, steel beam floor support, impact-resistant windows, and a barrel tile roof. A long, tree-lined drive through mature oaks leads you in, opening to an expansive yard that runs all the way down to the water's edge.

• Interior Highlights

Inside, ceilings climb to 28 feet, a wood-burning fireplace anchors the great room, and the open kitchen and living areas face out over the marsh. The gourmet kitchen, renovated in 2023, features 3-inch Italian marble countertops and backsplash, premium Thermador appliances including an oversized refrigerator with soft close feature, a Bosch dishwasher, wine cooler, and a built-in luxury coffee system.

The generous primary suite has two walk-in closets, porch access, and a full ensuite bath. A private office, elevator, and oversized 3-car garage with its own separate entrance and staircase provide plenty of room for vehicles, gear, and more. An outbuilding handles additional storage or equipment needs.

A bonus room, “man cave” or mother-in-law suite — with its own private entrance — is not included in the bedroom count or listed square footage.

• On the Water, Any Day of the Week

Oyster House Creek runs along the back of the property with direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway. The floating dock means you can drop in a kayak or paddleboard any day of the week, fish for the flounder, bass, shrimp, and crabs this stretch is known for, or head out for a longer run on the ICW.

The rear covered porch looks out over the marsh and creek, offering some of the most stunning sunsets around.

• About Archfield Plantation

Archfield Plantation is a private, gated community situated on Oyster House Creek in the quiet town of Meggett. It's a small, established neighborhood where acreage lots and generous spacing between homes make privacy the norm — the kind of setting that's increasingly hard to find this close to Charleston. Fiber-optic high-speed internet is available, so working from home is fully viable.

Meggett is steeped in agricultural history and was once proudly known as the "Cabbage Capital of the World," shipping its crops nationwide by rail and water. Today, that heritage lives on through its wide-open landscapes, scenic waterways, and authentic rural character--offering a rare combination of history, privacy, and refined coastal luxury.

The setting feels genuinely rural, but the location is anything but remote — everyday conveniences are just minutes away, and downtown Charleston is a straightforward 35-minute drive. Private acreage, waterfront access, and city life on your terms make this property genuinely hard to replicate.
