Waterfront Cape Cod on 1 Acre with Finished Basement & 3-Car Garage
This waterfront Cape Cod on 1 acre stands out immediately for its setting: a level, private parcel with direct water frontage and sweeping water views from the deck and screened porch. The house, built in 2002, balances classic wood-frame details—noticeable wood ceilings and generous windows—with practical modern systems (central heat and air, architectural shingle roof). A wide deck and screened porch step down toward the shoreline, offering seasons of outdoor living and room for a dock or waterside seating.
Inside, the main floor presents warm, approachable rooms with thoughtful proportions. Large windows frame the water while wood ceilings add character to shared spaces. The property’s most strategic asset is the finished basement, which includes an additional bedroom, a full bath, and an extra living area—ideal for extended family, a rental suite, or a home office. The floorplan supports flexible lifestyles: main-level living plus private lower-level quarters provide options many houses in this rural market cannot match.
Utility-minded buyers will appreciate an oversized, 3-car attached garage that delivers abundant storage and workshop potential. Practical systems include a well water supply and a septic system; these are common in the area but should be professionally inspected. The lot’s level topography and one-acre footprint create easy yard maintenance with space for gardens, play areas, and outdoor projects.
Location reinforces the property’s appeal for outdoor enthusiasts: Lake Moultrie is roughly 15 miles away for boating and fishing, and Francis Marion National Forest sits about 20 miles from the front door for hiking and weekend camping. Kingstree—about 12 miles away—handles everyday shopping and services. With two bedrooms, three baths, and 2,452 square feet of living area, this property offers a rare combination of waterfront access, additional living in a finished basement, and room for toys and vehicles in a large garage—an attractive package for buyers seeking privacy, versatility, and a connection to Carolina waterways.
Important due diligence: verify lot lines, inspect the well and septic, and evaluate flood risk and insurance requirements for waterfront sites. Given its mix of practical features and scenic setting, this home is well suited to buyers looking for a primary residence with rental or multigenerational potential, or anyone who values space and direct water access in a quiet rural community.

Salters is a quiet, rural community in Williamsburg County where properties tend to be set on larger lots and the pace is relaxed. Residents enjoy access to regional outdoor assets—Lake Moultrie for boating and Francis Marion National Forest for hiking—while Kingstree, about 12 miles away, supplies groceries, dining, and services. The area draws buyers seeking privacy, space for vehicles and hobbies, and proximity to Carolina waterways rather than urban amenities. Local schools serve the community with practical programming; family buyers should weigh commuting distances against the lifestyle benefits of open land and waterfront access.
Good regional recreation access: Lake Moultrie for boating and fishing (≈15 miles), Francis Marion National Forest for trails and camping (≈20 miles), and nearby county parks and routes for walking and cycling.
A factual market snapshot around 90 Roberts Ln.
Williamsburg County and the Salters area are currently tilted toward buyers. Inventory is moderate—around four months of supply—and average days on market sit near 60 days, pointing to a market where motivated sellers compete for the right buyer. Local median sale prices are lower than nearby metros (area median roughly $210,000), but waterfront and large-lot homes capture premiums; this property’s valuation analysis places a reasonable range between $355,000 and $447,000 with a midpoint near $399,000. Single-family homes in this rural corridor show modest appreciation (about 2% year-over-year, ~10% over five years), reflecting slower but steady demand.
For buyers, the current conditions provide negotiating leverage and time to complete inspections and title work. For sellers, marketing the waterfront setting, finished basement, and 3-car garage will distinguish this listing from non-waterfront comps that sold lower in the same period. Rental demand is modest in this rural market—estimated monthly rent around $1,800 with a gross yield near 5.4%—so investors should weigh operating costs (well/septic maintenance and potential flood insurance) against income potential. Overall, the present market favors careful buyers who can act decisively when a rare waterfront, finished-basement property becomes available.
