Cain Bay Plantation - Berkeley County SC

By: Darcy & Dave Creaturo

Charleston South Carolina is a beautiful place that everyone wants to live in. The problem is properties are getting more and more expensive. However, If you drive just a little bit North you can still get a piece of the Lowcountry and still be close to everything it has to offer. With this in mind, Ben Gramling III, President of Gramling Brothers Real Estate & Development, looked at a wide open 4500 acre tract of land and envisioned a quiet haven of small-town community, right there in the heart of Berkeley County — just a 30-minute drive from Charleston. Close to everything, yet with room to spread out. This became what is now known as Cane Bay Plantation.Cane Bay Plantation is a master planned 10,000 home community. It will include schools, churches, a Trident hospital, an impresive trail system and a 120 acre lake. Construction of residential and commercial units are anticipated to be spread over 30 years. Cane Bay will be larger than the Charleston peninsula and Daniel Island. Cane Bay High School is currently under construction and is scheduled to open in time for the 2008-2009 school year. With a full complement of academic, vocational and athletic programs and a state-of-the-art multimedia network featuring digital projectors in the classrooms, Cane Bay High will serve 1,500 students. Cane Bay’s elementary school, currently in the design phase and scheduled to open in 2009, will sit right across the street from the high school and will match its spacious architectural design, right down to the sloped metal roof.
