Brickyard Plantation in Mount Pleasant, SC

Brickyard Plantation Homes for Sale in Mount Pleasant

Brickyard Plantation is an 895-home community in Mount Pleasant built on the site of the antebellum Horlbeck brickyard. Water is the first filter here. The Horlbeck Creek boat ramp reaches the Wando River, and a few subsections carry private deep-water docks. We review the lot before comparing Brickyard homes, because a marsh-view lot and a deep-water dock lot fall under the same HOA but serve different boating and viewing needs.

Why Buyers Compare Brickyard Plantation

Buyers compare Brickyard for the water and the land history. The community is along US-17 (Johnnie Dodds Blvd), near the Horlbeck Creek corridor, with the Wando River just to the west. North Mount Pleasant is a short drive south of downtown Charleston and the beaches on US-17.

Brickyard stands apart from the nearby master-planned communities. Belle Hall and Hamlin Plantation center on shopping and daily conveniences rather than a boat ramp, and Park West is the larger master-planned community to the north.

Interior, Marsh, and Deep-Water Sections

Brickyard is split into 10 sections, and the water access determines the tier as much as the home does.

• Interior sections: The Preserve and The Colonnade hold the entry tier. The Colonnade has its own Highway 41 entrance and a private pool. These homes use the shared community ramp rather than a private dock.
• Mid-range sections: Magnolia Grove, The Hamptons, and The Retreat hold the middle. The Retreat is near the boat landing with mature landscaping.
• Marsh and pond-view sections: The Landing offers John Wieland homes with marsh and pond views at the back of the community, with larger lots but no private dock.
• Deep-water and direct-landing sections: Boone Grove carries some deep-water lots with private docks, Old Brickyard has deep-water docks and the largest lots at around half an acre, and Daniels Pointe is a small enclave with direct boat-landing access. McLeans Orchard is a custom high-end section with a private entrance that borders Boone Hall Plantation.

HOA, Boat Ramp, and Storage Costs

Recent HOA information puts the master assessment at around $1,000 per year, covering the two pools, five lighted tennis courts, clubhouse, fitness center, playground, trails, and the boat ramp. Boat storage is a separate add-on in a fenced lot with limited space, and the ramp key requires a refundable deposit. Ramp depth, storage availability, and boat fit vary, so confirm the setup before you plan around it. Brickyard has no golf course, and the Arnold Palmer layout at Rivertowne Country Club is the nearby club option.

School Boundaries to Confirm

Brickyard listings commonly reference Jennie Moore Elementary, with middle-school fields varying between Laing and Cario depending on the address. High-school references may show Lucy Beckham or older Wando data, so confirm the specific property with the Charleston County School District.

Custom Homes and Brickyard Landmarks

Home styles include Charleston-style doubles in The Colonnade and custom builds in the high-end sections, with most homes built in the 1990s and 2000s. The historic brick chimney from the Horlbeck brickyard still stands near the boat launch, and Butterfly Lake began as a nineteenth-century clay excavation pit rather than a natural pond, so the land history shows up in the layout. We check the flood zone and any dock or marsh-front setback before we treat a deep-water section listing as final.
