K. Hovnanian's Four Seasons at the Lakes of Cane Bay

Independent Assessment

It was confirmed that K. Hovnanian's Four Seasons at the Lakes of Cane Bay sits within the same broad Cane Bay Plantation master plan as Del Webb at Cane Bay, though in a physically distinct section built around its own lake system. One secondary source describes this community as 'the only age-restricted 55+ community within Cane Bay Plantation' — a claim that is not repeated as verified fact, since Del Webb at Cane Bay is also independently confirmed as an age-restricted 55+ community within the same broader Cane Bay Plantation master plan; the two are treated as separate, coexisting 55+ communities within the larger plan rather than accepting either exclusivity claim. No reliable total planned home count for this community was found — available figures (such as '21 homes' or '8 units available') describe current builder inventory, not the community's overall build-out size, and are not presented here as a total home count.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers who specifically want an active-adult community built around genuine waterfront recreation — fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding on a private lake system, not just water views — and who want a still-actively-building K. Hovnanian Four Seasons community rather than an older, fully resale Del Webb neighborhood, are the best fit for this community.

Homes, Builders & Development History

K. Hovnanian's Four Seasons at the Lakes of Cane Bay is being developed by K. Hovnanian Homes under its national Four Seasons active-adult brand, within the larger Cane Bay Plantation master plan in Summerville. The community is built around a roughly 300-acre lake system connected by an approximately 8-mile waterway. No total planned home count or specific development-start year could be confirmed from accessible public sources; K. Hovnanian's own materials describe the company as building communities since 1959, but that figure describes the builder's overall history, not this specific community's founding date.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

Builder pricing for new homes is reported starting around $374,990-$449,990 depending on floor plan, while currently listed resale and available inventory is reported roughly in the $432,000-$580,000 range. Homes span roughly 1,660-3,350 square feet across studio-to-4-bedroom, 2-4-bathroom layouts. Buyers should confirm current builder base pricing and any active incentives directly with the K. Hovnanian sales team, since reported starting prices vary by source and by which floor plans are currently being offered.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

Both new-construction and resale/available inventory are reported for this community as of the most recent review, though no independently confirmed total planned build-out size was found. New-construction buyers should confirm current lot availability and builder pricing directly; resale buyers should request the HOA's most recent financials and any pending special-assessment history.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes here are subject to Berkeley County property tax. South Carolina assesses an owner-occupied primary residence ('legal residence') at a 4% assessment ratio versus 6% for a second home or investment property, and the 4% rate requires filing an application with the Berkeley County Assessor rather than applying automatically. Buyers should confirm current millage and legal-residence eligibility directly with Berkeley County.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

The defining lifestyle feature at K. Hovnanian's Four Seasons at the Lakes of Cane Bay is genuine on-site waterfront recreation — residents fish, kayak, canoe, and paddleboard directly from the community's own 300-acre lake system rather than relying on a pool and clubhouse alone, a distinguishing feature among Charleston-area 55+ communities most of which offer pools and trails but not a private navigable waterway.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

The community sits within Cane Bay Plantation in Summerville, Berkeley County, just off U.S. Highway 176 near Interstate 26, roughly 30-35 miles from downtown Charleston.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

K. Hovnanian's Four Seasons at the Lakes of Cane Bay is marketed and consistently identified across independent sources as a 55-and-older community, consistent with K. Hovnanian's national Four Seasons active-adult brand, which is generally developed under HOPA-qualified age restrictions. The recorded deed-restriction or covenant language confirming the exact legal terms for this specific community was not independently pulled. Buyers should request the governing documents and confirm current age-verification procedures directly with the HOA.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

No independently confirmed total planned home count was found, so buyers cannot yet gauge how much of the eventual community is built versus still to come from publicly available sources. A secondary-source claim that this is 'the only' age-restricted community within Cane Bay Plantation does not hold up against independently confirmed information about Del Webb at Cane Bay, so buyers should not rely on that specific claim when comparing options within the larger master plan. There is no on-site golf course, and current builder and resale pricing were not fully reconciled across sources.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Within Cane Bay Plantation, K. Hovnanian's Four Seasons at the Lakes of Cane Bay is most directly comparable to Del Webb at Cane Bay, the other 55+ community within the same larger master plan — Del Webb offers an established, fully built-out setting with a larger clubhouse-centered amenity package, while this community's on-site lake system and continued active building set it apart for buyers who specifically prioritize waterfront recreation over an already-mature social scene.
