The vision for Edwards Place was to create a small, community-oriented neighborhood to fit into the context of a larger historical neighborhood, while still maintaining as much green space as possible.
​
A significant feature of Edwards Place was the development of The Preserve.
​
The Preserve is a 1.1 acre private, maintained, and gorgeously landscaped green space. There are shaded walking paths weaving through the Grand Oaks and an outdoor pavilion with a fireplace for unwinding with friends and family.
This picturesque property was the childhood home of James B. Edwards, the beloved former South Carolina governor.
​
Edwards enjoyed a long and storied life of service in the military, medicine, politics, and education. In addition to his role as governor, he was a state senator, secretary of energy, and university president.
​
This family farmstead held wonderful memories for Edwards and he often spoke of hunting, fishing, and playing in the woods there during his youth.
