Quick Glance: Magical Stono: $1.5M Land Purchase for County Park

Partnership between Open Space Institute and Charleston County Park preserves 24 acres of undeveloped land on James Island along the Stono River.

OSI purchased 24-acre tract off Bradham Road on James Island on Dec. 20, 2023, to prevent development.

Property appraised over $4 million, would have been used for single-family homes, according to OSI Senior Land Project Manager Patrick Moore.

Long, skinny tract provides ample space for trails and easy public access to the Stono River.
