Just 30 minutes south of Charleston is the sweet little town of Meggett, South Carolina. A beautiful and peaceful community with close proximity to cities and beaches, Meggett is a fine choice for those looking to put roots down in the Lowcountry. Established in 1905 and flourishing by the 1920s as a town connecting waterway freight to truck farmers, Meggett served its important purpose for many years as a distribution hub. Cherished Lowcountry delicacies such as oysters and fish were processed at the cannery in Meggett, and, although the town is no longer a distribution point, it retains plenty of old-fashioned charm and continues to draw locals residents and visitors alike. Meggett's mystique reminds one of a southern novel with plenty of off-beat characters and choice scenery. Artists and painters tend to matriculate to the town, thanks to its gorgeous landscape and inspiring peace. The community is far from solitary, however. Celebrations are peppered throughout the calendar year, including a Christmas Tree Festival in December and an Arts Fair in the spring. Perhaps the crowning jewel of Meggett is Roxbury Park. Covering 157 acres of land and bordered by Toogoodoo Creek, the park provides a serene place to witness local wildlife. The town plans to add observation decks, boat launches and other amenities in the near future. For a special retreat, book a weekend at the Roxbury Cottage, which sleeps up to 10 people and offers picnic and event facilities. The Stono River, Toogoodoo Creek and Wadmalaw River/Yonges Island all touch the borders of Meggett. Thus, both waterfront and marsh front homes are available for those seeking prime real estate. Undeveloped acreage is also available and great for those who are planning to build or just enjoy rural recreation such as boating and fishing. Edisto Beach, one of the last unspoiled beaches of South Carolina, is just a 30 minute drive – not to mention the city of Charleston is mere moments up Savannah Highway. With the best of everything Lowcountry at your fingertips, Meggett might be the perfect paradise for families who desire a quaint, coastal community. Read More
