50 Acres protected on Johns Island
February 19, 2026
Lowcountry Land Trust announced the permanent protection of Oscar’s Place, a nearly 50-acre property on Johns Island that ensures the land will remain undeveloped forever.
Oscar’s Place features a large freshwater pond with a small island that serves as an important roosting and resting area for birds. Sharing more than 1,100 feet of River Road with the Johns Island County Park and Mullet Hall Equestrian Center, the two beloved properties safeguard the canopy of grand live oaks that define the sense of place on Johns Island.
Funding for the conservation easement was possible with grants from the Charleston County Greenbelt Program and the South Carolina Conservation Bank. The Meyer family donated the remaining portion of the easement value, further demonstrating their dedication to conservation.
The permanent protection of Oscar’s Place adds to a growing network of conserved lands on Johns Island that benefit wildlife, protect scenic roads, and ensure that future generations have the opportunity to enjoy the Lowcountry’s natural beauty.
