25-acre estate on island near Charleston lists at $11.9 million. See it to believe it
Think about this. A waterfront residence being built amid centuries-old live oaks on Wadmalaw Island near Charleston. Twenty-five undeveloped acres with a barndominium — that would be a luxury residence that takes its inspiration from what the broker called “a traditional agricultural structure,” aka a barn like none you’ve likely seen before. It has a chef’s kitchen, living areas, bedrooms and an expansive covered porch overlooking a private two-acre pond. It’s a “fully completed residence while construction continues on the property’s main waterfront home,” broker Mary Lou Wertz of Maison Real Estate said. Located at 4825 Retriever Road , the asking price is $11,933,000. The property is known as Heaven on Earth and is in Rosebank Estates. The property is protected with a conservation easement. Fully solar, top-tier amenities Cobb Architects of Charleston designed the main home, which will include floor-to-ceiling windows, a private primary wing and an extensive solar energy system, five Tesla Powerwalls, an estate-wide Generac generator, reverse-osmosis water purification with 750 gallons of storage and a solar-powered gated Corten steel entrance.

Charleston resident grows 8 types of bananas in his backyard. Now, he wants to sell them to chefs.
JOHNS ISLAND — On this sea island with a long history of farming, a new type of plant has emerged. Find a cluster of them not far from where a thriving restaurant scene has emerged along Maybank Highway. Carve through the towering tropical oasis, and you’ll be shaded by lush leaves that arch, curl and droop into a stratified canopy. Beneath the sturdy greenery are bunches of bananas that by November could exceed 40 pounds each. The fruit isn’t grown and harvested on a farm, at least not in the traditional sense. Instead, it hangs out in Bradley Taggart’s backyard. The Johns Island resident fir...
