LAND PURCHASES
STOWE TRACT
McClellanville, Charleston County, SC | 450 acres
The “Stowe” tract is a 450-acre river front property on the Intracoastal Waterway near the Town of McClellanville in Charleston County, SC. Acquired for $2.6 Million, the property is undergoing major improvements with special collaboration with Ducks Unlimited to repair and restore impoundments. Potential conservation outcomes vary between a sale to US Fish and Wildlife to add to the Cape Romain Wildlife Refuge, sale to a local government unit for a public park, or sale to a private buyer subject to a conservation easement. Terrah is partnering with Open Space Institute and Ducks Unlimited in planning for conservation outcomes.
CARRAWAY LANDING
Mingo Creek, Georgetown County, SC | 460 acres
The Mingo Creek tract (a.k.a. “Carraway Landing”) is a 460-acre riverfront property on Mingo Creek in western Georgetown County, SC. Black Mingo Creek is a tributary of the Black River, which flows unobstructed to Winyah Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Protecting and maintaining intact, forested riparian corridors is key to the overall viability of this system. The land was purchased from a national REIT. During its ownership over several years, Terrah made significant improvements to the property and donated a conservation easement to Lord Berkeley Conservation Trust. In March 2021, the property was sold to a private buyer subject to the Lord Berkeley Conservation Trust easement.
WILSON BUGBY
Wadmalaw Island, Charleston County, SC | 400 acres
“Wilson Bugby” is a 400-acre riverfront property on the Bohicket River on Wadmalaw Island, in Charleston County, SC. Wadmalaw Island remains rural, allowing residents to pursue traditional Lowcountry land uses as they have for generations. This land forms the fabric of the islands’ natural communities and in turn has shaped its cultural heritage. With explosive growth in and around Charleston, especially along rivers and on sea islands, Wilson Bugby was acquired to stop imminent high-density development. Over a four (4) year period, $4.8 million was invested in land and improvements, a conservation easement was donated to Lowcountry Land Trust, and the property was sold to a private conservation buyer subject to the Lowcountry Land Trust easement.
