The tree-lined route along U.S. Highway 176 north of Goose Creek is sprinkled with existing homes, small businesses and light industries, and one big complex, the new Cane Bay High School and stadium. But the surroundings won't be so rural for long.
A winding three-mile road just north of the high school marks the main artery through the Cane Bay development, where at least three major builders are just starting to construct what will be thousands of homes. One of these, FirstCoast Homes, is unveiling its new Sanctuary Cove at Cane Bay this week. The company is launching sales in the mid-priced neighborhood, which will have 500 homes.
Katie Varin, marketing director for Savannah-based FirstCoast Homes, says the neighborhood will benefit from the adjacent schools, which eventually will include elementary and middle schools, as well as a retail plaza. Sanctuary Cove at Cane Bay will have its own amenities center with swimming pool, volleyball court, sports court and clubhouse.
"We are planning for all sorts of buyers," she says. That includes shoppers who are downsizing to a small home, families with school-age children and retirees. The builder is so keen on the community that it designed 12 floor plans specifically for Sanctuary Cove at Cane Bay. "This is an all-new lineup."
Homes are priced from $176,990 to $224,990. Floor plans start at 1,521 square feet and run up to
3,111 square feet.
Models are the Tybee, Cumberland, Edisto, Capers, Dewees, Seabrook, Hatteras, Albemarle, Kiawah, Wilmington, Sullivan and Seaside.
FirstCoast Homes designed ranch and two-story houses with the modern family's likes and dislikes in mind. They include formal dining rooms, laundry rooms, two-car garages with extra space for a boat or extra storage and "stop-and-drop" nooks where homeowners can leave and pick up their keys, cell phones and other items when they go in or out.
Upstairs in some floor plans and downstairs in others, master bedrooms have oversized walk-in closets, space for accessories and separate garden tubs and showers.
Covered "lanai" patios are standard, screened-in porches are options. All of the homes are situated to have views of neighborhood ponds, woods and other natural settings.
While in the country, Sanctuary Cove at Cane Bay is not far from town. Goose Creek is about seven miles away, Summerville, eight and Moncks Corner, 13.
FirstCoast Homes' managers and salespeople took time brainstorming about what people really want in homes before rolling out the dozen novel models.
"We are really happy with all the new floor plans," Varin says. "It was really worth it."
To reach Sanctuary Cove at Cane Bay from downtown Charleston, take Interstate 26 west to the 199 exit for U.S. Highway 52 to Goose Creek. Follow Highway 52 to the traffic light at St. James Avenue (U.S. Highway 176) and turn left. Continue on St. James north across U.S. Highway 17A, where it becomes State Road. Stay on the highway past Cane Bay High School on the right. Take the first right, the entrance to Cane Bay. Follow the road for a little more than one mile. Sanctuary Cove is on the left.
