Snee Farm at a Glance

Snee Farm is a prestigious Mt. Pleasant community that blends rich American history with modern luxury living. Situated on the former plantation of Founding Father Charles Pinckney, the neighborhood features a championship golf course designed by George Cobb and a legendary tennis history. Its central location offers residents “10-minute” access to the beach and major shopping, making it a premier choice for Stono Construction’s large-scale modernizations of classic Lowcountry homes.

Charleston Neighborhood Spotlight: Snee Farm in Mt. Pleasant, SC

When you talk about the “heart” of Mt. Pleasant, Snee Farm comes to mind. It’s a neighborhood that perfectly captures the evolution of our town—from a historic coastal plantation to one of the most sought-after established communities in the Lowcountry.

At Stono Construction, we love Snee Farm for its character. You won’t find “cookie-cutter” streets here. Instead, you find winding, tree-lined roads, diverse architectural styles, and a sense of permanence that only comes with decades of history. Snee Farm has relatively low master HOA dues for the amenities which include golf, tennis and pool access. 

Living Where History Was Made

The name “Snee Farm” carries significant historical weight. The neighborhood is built on the grounds of the original Snee Farm Plantation, which was once the country estate of Founding Father Charles Pinckney—a key drafter of the U.S. Constitution.

One of our favorite fun facts about this neighborhood: on May 2, 1791, President George Washington stopped at Snee Farm for breakfast during his Southern tour. While the original 18th-century house no longer stands, the legacy is preserved at the 28-acre Charles Pinckney National Historic Site, which sits right in the neighborhood’s backyard. For residents, having a National Park as a neighbor provides a unique sense of space and historical grounding that is impossible to replicate.

The Snee Farm Country Club: A Legacy of Sport

In 1973, Snee Farm transitioned into a modern residential community centered around the Snee Farm Country Club. For golf enthusiasts, the pedigree is impressive. The 18-hole championship course was designed by George Cobb—the same legendary architect behind the Par-3 Course at Augusta National.

But it’s not just about golf. Snee Farm holds a special place in tennis history, having hosted the Family Circle Cup women’s professional tournament for twenty years. Today, that legacy lives on through the club’s 18 tennis courts, newly renovated pools, and a clubhouse that serves as the social hub for the neighborhood.

Proximity & Convenience: The “10-Minute” Rule

One of the biggest draws for families moving to Snee Farm is its unbeatable location. It is strategically positioned to make Lowcountry living easy:

• The Beaches: You are less than 10 minutes from the sand and surf of Isle of Palms.
• Shopping & Dining: Mt. Pleasant Towne Centre is just across Hwy 17, offering everything from upscale retail to local dining.
• Connectivity: With easy access to I-526, a commute to Daniel Island, North Charleston, or the airport is a breeze.
• History & Nature: You are minutes away from the historic Boone Hall Plantation and the Palmetto Islands County Park.

Modernizing a Classic: The Stono Construction Touch

Because Snee Farm was largely developed in the 1970s and 80s, we often see homes with incredible “good bones” but floor plans that don’t quite fit today’s open-concept lifestyle. This is where Stono Construction thrives.

Many of the traditional and colonial-style homes in Snee Farm are perfect candidates for:

• Home Additions: Expanding the footprint or adding vertical space to a home.
• Gourmet Kitchen Overhauls: Removing non-load-bearing walls to connect the kitchen and living areas for a modern flow.
• Primary Suite Conversions: Expanding existing footprints to create spa-like retreats and walk-in closets.
• FROG (Finished Room Over Garage) Updates: Converting older storage spaces into high-end home offices or guest suites.
• Whole-Home Renovations: Preserving the classic brick or wood-sided exterior while completely reimagining the interior for 21st-century living.

Our team at Stono Construction specializes in navigating these large-scale renovations. We understand that in a neighborhood like Snee Farm, you aren’t just building a house—you’re preserving the character of a community while making it functional for your family.
