201 Tea Farm Rd Summerville, SC 29483

201 Tea Farm is an exceptional nearly one-acre property set among mature oaks, pines, camellias, azaleas, and tea olives, offering privacy, space, and flexibility with no traditional HOA. Set on the historic grounds of a former tea plantation, the community is defined by expansive home sites and beautiful homes. The listing agent is the owner of the home and thoughtfully remodeled it.Originally built in the 1880s this is both the oldest home in Tea Farm and effectively the newest, having been completely rebuilt to 2026 standards. Taken fully down to the studs, the home preserves its historic character while delivering the quality and efficiency of new construction. Aside from the brick exterior and original framing, moldings, and mantles, virtually EVERY component has been replaced on this nearly 150 year old home.

All major systems are new, including electrical, plumbing, high efficiency HVAC, duct work, roofing, and divided light historic reproduction windows. The home features spray foam insulation in the second floor ceilings, batt in the walls, sound dampening between floors, and is pre-wired/pre plumbed for a backup generator. Crawl space is encapsulated by Lowcountry Crawl Space and climate controlled (you could virtually sleep down there).

As you arrive, professionally landscaped grounds, brickwork, ironwork, and copper gas lanterns create a striking first impression. Inside, a light filled foyer opens to nearly 10 foot ceilings and hardwood floors throughout.

The main level is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with seamless flow between the dining area, kitchen, bar, and living spaces. The dining room is anchored by a large picture window overlooking the enormous yard, while gas fireplaces in both the living and dining areas add warmth and character. A separate family room provides additional gathering space and has plenty of room for guests and family.

The kitchen features a built-in Monogram refrigerator with dual temperature controlled drawers, 36" 6-burner Wolf range, Bosch dishwasher, imported marble countertops and backsplash with built-in pot filler, custom cabinetry, high end lighting, and large pantry cabinets with pull outs. The adjacent bar includes a wine and beverage refrigerator, sink, and led lighted bar cabinets, and custom storage. A well designed laundry and drop zone adds convenience.

The primary suite on the main level is a spacious retreat for king size furniture with a spa like all marble bathroom with dual shower rain heads & hand sprayers, soaker tub, water closet with Japanese bidet style toilet, and custom walk-in closet with LED backlighting and custom built-ins.

As you walk upstairs there are three additional bedrooms, two with en suite luxury bathrooms, along with a cozy landing and thoughtful storage throughout. One bedroom could act as a second primary. Ceilings were vaulted and are almost 9ft tall and floors are the original 1880's as well as the staircase. All three upstairs bedrooms feature windows on three of the four walls.

The grounds have been fully transformed with new sod, irrigation, and plantings. A two car carport (easily convertible to a full garage) with EV charging pre-wire and a brick patio provide additional outdoor living or entertaining space for oyster roasts or rainy day gatherings. Large side yard has space for a pool or detached cottage. Tons of extra parking for a boat, RV, and additional vehicles.
This level of renovation is IMPOSSIBLE to find in homes of this age and to the owner's knowledge there has not been one sold or currently for sale in Summerville in this price point! Here, every detail has been addressed from structure to finish.

Ideally located minutes from Summerville Country Club and within walking, biking, or golf cart distance to downtown Summerville, the home offers easy access to golf, sawmill branch trail, pickle ball, dining, shopping, coffee shops, the YMCA, wine bars, and a vibrant calendar of community events from farmers market to concerts to festivals.
