6411 China Back Lane offers Intracoastal access, a nearly 1,200-square-foot bonus living level, and easy day-trip reach to four of the Lowcountry's best-known destinations.
CHARLESTON, S.C., Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- James Badia of Pam Harrington Exclusives is spotlighting 6411 China Back Lane, a custom-built estate on 5.2 private acres in Archfield Plantation, an intimate gated community on Oyster House Creek in the town of Meggett, SC. The property is available at $1,895,000 (MLS #26006423). View the full property details and photo gallery here.
Set at the end of a cul-de-sac behind a tree-lined drive of mature oaks, the home opens to an expansive lawn that runs to the water's edge, where a private dock with a floater and a 10,000-lb boat lift sits against one of the most striking marsh views in the area. Mornings bring egrets working the creek bank; evenings deliver the long, unobstructed sunsets the Lowcountry is known for. The rear covered porch is oriented to take it all in.
It's a setting that feels wonderfully removed without actually being far from anything. Groceries, coffee, dining, a community park, a library and pool complex are minutes away, and fiber-optic high-speed internet serves the community, making full-time remote work practical. Children are zoned for Lowcountry Leadership Charter School.
The location also puts several of the region's best-known destinations within easy driving range:
"Buyers tell us they want acreage, water access, and privacy without giving up Charleston," said James Badia, Pam Harrington Exclusives. "This property is one of the few places where that combination actually exists at this price."
For buyers who have been priced out of comparable acreage and water access closer to the barrier islands, the property represents a rare combination at this price point: over five acres, a gated address, a private dock, a three-car garage, and a substantially finished lower level — in a market where waterfront parcels of this size rarely come available at all.
The 2,900-square-foot main level was designed for single-level living. Ceilings climb to 28 feet in the great room, where a wood-burning fireplace anchors the space and the kitchen and living areas face out over the marsh. A 2023 renovation added three-inch Italian marble countertops and backsplash, plus Thermador appliances including an oversized refrigerator, a Bosch dishwasher, a wine cooler, and a built-in coffee system. Updated flooring, shiplap accents, and an elevator complete the interior refresh. The primary suite includes two walk-in closets, a full ensuite bath with a garden tub, and direct porch access. Two additional guest suites and a private office round out the elevated, single level floor plan.
The home's listed square footage of 2,900 sq. ft. does not include a fully built-out, climate-controlled lower level of roughly 1,200 additional square feet — complete with its own bedroom, full bathroom, living area, kitchen, dining space, private entrance, and a covered patio that runs the full length of the home. Functionally independent of the main residence, the space is suited to multigenerational living, a guest suite, a home office, or a studio. Including this level, the property's effective living area totals approximately 4,100 square feet.
Built in 2006 in a Spanish-influenced style, the home was engineered for coastal conditions from the ground up — spread footers, steel-beam floor support, impact-resistant windows, stucco and stone veneer exterior, and a barrel tile roof.
Meggett is agricultural country, once known nationally as the "Cabbage Capital of the World," and the character still shows in the wide fields, tidal creeks, and unhurried pace. Archfield Plantation reflects it best: acreage lots, generous spacing between homes, and privacy as the default rather than the exception.
