In the midst of the ACE Basin, the last pure ecological wildlife refuge on the East Coast, the main house is complemented by two separate guest houses. Both perfect for hosting or a serene retreat. The larger guest home boasts stunning marsh views and four well-appointed bedrooms and bathrooms, while the cozier abode offers a bedroom, an office, living space, and a kitchen, perfectly crafted for intimate stays.Equestrian enthusiasts will delight in the six-stall horse barn, complete with a 2-bedroom apartment atop, designed meticulously for cozy living.

Dive into a life where every day feels like a chapter from a historic novel, and every corner whispers tales of yesteryears while offering the comforts of today.Welcome to your timeless abode.Important Note: Within the vast beauty of Bonny Hall lies a distinctive edge that sets it apart from other estates: the absence of a conservation easement. While such easements undeniably offer a host of benefits, they inevitably introduce certain restrictions. Bonny Hall bestows upon its potential owners an unmatched liberty to sculpt its destiny. Freed from the constraints of an easement, proprietors can fully harness the estate's promise without diminishing its inherent worth. This liberty paves the way for boundless future prospects. Successive caretakers can dream, devise, and realize their aspirations, be it for bespoke enhancements or personal sanctuaries, without threading through layers of conditions or courting approvals. While they can admire the virtues of conservation easements from a distance like their role in enhancing water purity, conserving picturesque landscapes, and nurturing wildlife refuges they remain unencumbered by the associated hurdles.

When we finally found the one, Jimmy helped every step of the way, and is still willing to answer questions months after we moved in. I would recommend him to anyone. - (Zillow)

    Gabrielle Shultz
  • James was recommended through Zillow when we started looking to relocate to South Carolina. Know the area very well and his negotiations were great. He helped us locate a new home in the area and budget we were looking for.

    Vince & Joanne Tedeschi
  • We count our lucky stars that we found James! We had been casually looking at homes in the Charleston, SC area online from our home on Long Island, NY; we wanted an escape from the winters here. He was everything a great Real Estate Agent should be but often isn't: honest, hard-working, knowledgeable of the area, quick to respond, tenacious, friendly, and most of all, patient.  I would highly recommend him to anyone remotely interested in buying a home in the Charleston area; it will be the best choice you'll ever make! (Zillow)

    Carla & Chuck Davis
  • I found James Schiller to be very knowledgeable and helpful in trying to locate the right property for me. He did not waste time trying to show or talk me into properties that he knew would be unacceptable for me. James let me know that he understood the values in Mt. Pleasant's markets well; and that he was not one of those local Real Estate Agents that is just out to lead buyers to over-reach their budgets and make them believe they are supposed to overpay. James lets you know he is looking out for the Buyer's interests. He is knowledgeable, personable, and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend his Professional services. (Zillow)

    Sandra Bregman
  • James is a fantastic realtor and was great to work with in finding and closing on our Isle of Palms home. Our search took a total of 10 months as we start looking at fractionals, made several offers on different properties and finally closed on our beach house. Along the way James was a great partner and provided us with tremendous advice. I would highly recommend him as a highly knowledgeable and professional real estate professional. - (Zillow)

    Steve Brown
  • James was a stellar agent. My wife and I used him to buy a new home in 2013 and we literally couldn't be happier. This house was very sought after and we were able to get it under contract the same day for less than list price. The listing agent told us that our agent was very smart in the way he got the contract ratified because she had tons of other agents that buyers willing to pay over list price. I can't say Thanks enough to him. - (Google +)

    Scott & Debbie Rosiak
  • I recently sold my townhouse through James and had a great experience! He was low pressure and walked me through each step as this was my first property sale. I am using him for the purchase of my next home as well. James always answered the phone when I called and we is quick to answer any questions I had. I would recommend his service to others. - (Google +)
