Overview
There is nothing else like 722 Riley Road on James Island.Custom-built in 2022 and set on more than an acre of pristine high ground along James Island Creek, this waterfront estate offers an unmatched combination of privacy, land, water access, and location just minutes from Downtown Charleston and Folly Beach. Completely hidden from the road beneath a canopy of towering oaks, a grand private entrance and long drive create a sense of arrival rarely found on James Island.Sweeping water views, easy harbor access, and an incredible private dock define the outdoor experience of the property. More than just a backyard, the setting offers open green space, a waterfront fire pit, room to gather and play, and the kind of waterfront living that defines the Lowcountry.

Oversized gathering spaces open through a dramatic bifold glass wall system to the spacious screened porch, where cable railing preserves unobstructed views and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Natural light, coastal breezes, and water views become part of the experience of the home itself.Timeless Lowcountry architecture blends with warm, layered interiors and exceptional attention to detail throughout. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the main living area, while seven-inch French White Oak flooring, reclaimed pine upstairs, custom millwork, and carefully selected finishes create a home that feels elevated, inviting, and effortlessly livable.The kitchen is both striking and highly functional, designed to anchor the home's indoor and outdoor gathering spaces.
