The Ponds, a single-family home community from Kolter Homes, has released a new phase of highly anticipated home sites. Nestled on 1,000 acres of preserved farmland in Summerville, South Carolina, these home sites are located adjacent to the Village Pond, just steps from the onsite amenities. Prospective buyers are encouraged to join the VIP list for exclusive access to these desirable home sites.

“The new phase at The Ponds features some of our best home sites, including several surrounded by relaxing views of the lakes and preserves,” said Jeff Vandewiel, community director. “All of the homes in this phase are located near the amphitheater and the Farmhouse Social Center, which further encourages residents to get outside, exercise and explore nature.”

Priced from the $400,000s, homes offer unmatched flexibility and comfort. Homes feature two to five bedrooms, and homeowners enjoy gourmet kitchens with islands and granite countertops, second-floor bonus rooms and spacious owner suites with oversized showers and double vanities. Prospective buyers can visit the on-site Design Studio to explore structural options and hundreds of interior selections. Additional bedrooms and expanded rooms are easily added and flex rooms can transform into a home office or fitness room.

Outdoor recreation abounds at The Ponds. The Farmhouse Social Center presents a collaborative environment for resident gatherings and events, while the pool offers a refreshing break from daily life. Outdoor amenities include a community garden, an onsite YMCA and a treehouse for kids. Opportunities to fish, boat and kayak can be found at the community ponds and nearby Schulz Lake. Residents can also explore miles of walking trails that weave across the preserved farmland terrain.

Located in Summerville, The Ponds is situated near local restaurants and stylish boutiques in a small-town atmosphere. Summerville is renowned as The Birthplace of Sweet Tea and hosts an annual Sweet Tea Festival, further solidifying its Southern charm. Minutes from Charleston, this community is convenient to major thoroughfares and urban amenities.

The Ponds will feature 211 homes at completion, with 41 homes already released. The decorated models will be available for touring in early 2026.
