About Four Seasons at The Lakes of Cane Bay

Four Seasons at The Lakes of Cane Bay is in Summerville, in the Charleston & Lowcountry region of South Carolina. Developer: K. Hovnanian Homes. Status: Currently selling. Operated as a 55+ community according to the developer's own legal disclosure.

K. Hovnanian describes Four Seasons at Lakes of Cane Bay as a picturesque 55+ community in Summerville, SC, built around a 300-acre lake system with an 8-mile waterway in the Cane Bay Plantation neighborhood. The builder says it is the only age-restricted 55+ new-home community in Cane Bay Plantation, and that it sits just off US 176, near I-26, about 35 miles from downtown Charleston. The same page says Charleston International Airport is less than 30 miles from the front door. Those are builder statements, not measured drive times; drive the route at the hours you would use it.

The builder's page lists three floorplan collections. The Villas Collection offers homes of up to 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and 1,550 square feet. The Beacon Collection offers homes of up to 4 bedrooms, 3 baths and 2,750 square feet, and the Compass Collection offers homes of up to 3 bedrooms, 3 baths and 2,732 square feet. The page describes both single-family homes and luxury villas, and says buyers choose either a to-be-built home or a quick move-in home and then select one of four designer-curated interior Looks named Loft, Farmhouse, Classic and Elements. The builder describes the living as maintenance free; exactly what that covers is set by the association, so ask for the list in writing.

The community is gated. The builder describes a 24,000-square-foot lakeside clubhouse with a fitness center and three pools: an indoor lap pool, an outdoor family and grandchildren pool, and an outdoor resort-style pool for adults. Other listed features include tennis and pickleball courts, bocce, nature trails, an outdoor amphitheater, a dog park, a yoga lawn, an outdoor fireplace with a pizza oven, and a kayak launch on the lake. The amenity list on the page also shows a ballroom, game room, billiards, a demonstration kitchen, a wine club, a cafe bar and a lifestyle director.

Status: the builder's page shows an open sales office, plans with starting prices and quick move-in homes, so the community is actively selling. The page names the offering entity as K. Hovnanian's Four Seasons at Cane Bay Expansion, LLC. Builder pages describe what is for sale on the day they are read, so ask the sales office which home sites, plans and quick move-in homes remain.

Location context: the address is in Summerville, and the community sits inside the Cane Bay Plantation master plan. Part of the Summerville postal area lies outside the town limits, so do not assume the town's services or tax rates apply; the county auditor and the association can tell you the taxing jurisdiction for a specific lot. For town-level context and county tax tables see Summerville, and for a comparable resale community in the same master plan see Del Webb at Cane Bay.

For new construction specifically, the contract, the purchase price, the lot premium and the association documents are what bind you, not the website. The builder notes that starting prices may include a lot premium and that prices, availability and specifications change.

HOA and fees at Four Seasons at The Lakes of Cane Bay

The builder's page does not publish a monthly association fee. Ask the sales office for the current budget and assessment, what it covers (the builder markets the lifestyle as maintenance free, so get the exact scope of lawn, exterior and amenity services), how the assessment is expected to change as the community builds out, the reserve study, any special assessments, and the capital contribution or transfer fees due at closing. Request the declaration, bylaws and rules before you sign.
