CARNES CROSSROADS
GOOSE CREEK, SOUTH CAROLINA
Rooted in the charm of Lowcountry living, ELM has designed Carnes Crossroads in Goose Creek, South Carolina, to embrace the region’s natural beauty and community-driven lifestyle. ELM incorporated into the heart of this master planned neighborhood, an 11-acre working farm and Farm Store, providing fresh, locally grown produce and hands-on farming experiences, fostering a deep connection to the land.
The Lake House, envisioned by ELM, serves as the community’s social and wellness hub, offering a state-of-the-art Wellness Center, flexible event spaces, and sweeping views of Lake Hewitt. Inspired by the active outdoor lifestyle of the Lowcountry, ELM integrated pickleball, tennis, and basketball courts, a playground, and miles of scenic trails. The resort-style pool—featuring a three-story slide tower, sun shelves, and geysers—captures the relaxed, coastal-inspired spirit of the region.
With a design that honors Lowcountry traditions while offering modern amenities, ELM has created a community where residents can connect, unwind, and experience the best of Goose Creek living.
