Kismet on Aviation Drive: A Real Estate Story That Was Meant to Be
By The Cobb Group | Brokered by eXp Luxury Realty
Sometimes, the right home doesn’t show up on day one.
Sometimes, it shows up exactly when it’s meant to.
We call it real estate kismet—that perfect alignment of timing, vision, and heart.
Here’s a story that reminds us why we love what we do.
A Year in the Making
Last summer, we met a lovely couple from California who wanted to relocate closer to their son, who works for Gulfstream here in the Lowcountry. They had very different—but equally important—priorities:
-
He’s an aviation enthusiast and once dreamed of building his own plane.
-
She wanted something fresh, modern, and new.
They were intrigued by Ridgeland, SC for its space, slower pace, and close proximity to the Ridgeland–Claude Dean Airport. For him, the idea of living near the airport felt energizing and comforting all at once.
We stayed in touch throughout the year, emailing listings and updating their wishlist as their needs evolved.
By this summer, they returned for round two of house-hunting—with some updates:
-
The plane-building dream had faded, but the love for aviation hadn’t.
-
They were leaning toward a ranch-style home.
-
He still wanted a garage with potential, and she still wanted something new.
They had even explored Argent East Development in Bluffton—a great area, but not quite what they had hoped for in terms of space, privacy, or character.
Then came a strategy session over coffee at Starbucks near Sun City—a true powwow. That’s when the lightbulb moment struck.
Enter: Weathersbee
A new community just beginning to take shape in Ridgeland, and guess what?
It’s right across the street from the Ridgeland–Claude Dean Airport.
The main road? Aviation Drive.
It was as if this place had been built just for them.
Weathersbee, developed by Mungo Homes, offers:
Brand-new construction Half-acre homesites Lagoon views Room for garages or outbuildings Smart, flexible, ranch-style floorplans Budget-friendly pricing And that perfect aviation energy
They toured the homes, stood on a lagoon-view lot, and everything clicked.
They signed a contract that week and flew back to California to list their home.
By next spring, they’ll be calling Ridgeland home—right next to their son, grandkids, and the low hum of passing planes.

Q&A: Homes, Airports & Finding the Right Realtor
Q: Where is Weathersbee located?
A: Weathersbee is in Ridgeland, SC—right across the street from the Ridgeland–Claude Dean Airport and just minutes to downtown Ridgeland, I-95, Bluffton, Beaufort, and Savannah.
Q: What makes Weathersbee different from other new communities?
A: Bigger lots, beautiful lagoon views, flexible layouts, and rare proximity to a municipal airport make it a standout choice—especially for buyers wanting space without sacrificing location.
Q: I’m an aviation enthusiast—will I love it here?
A: Without a doubt. Living on Aviation Drive across from a charming, low-traffic airport is perfect for anyone who finds joy in the world of flight.
Q: How do I know if I’ve found the right Realtor?
A: The right Realtor listens more than they talk. They ask the right questions, share honest insight, and make you feel seen and supported—not sold to. If you feel pressured or overlooked, keep looking.
Q: What makes Allison Cobb and The Cobb Group different?
A: We listen deeply. We take the time to understand your goals and help you uncover possibilities you may not have considered. We don’t chase transactions—we build relationships. Our goal is to create wins that feel tailor-made.
Q: I’m relocating—should I use a local Realtor?
A: Absolutely. Local Realtors bring insight into neighborhoods, school districts, insurance zones, flood risks, and future development plans. They know the unlisted gems and can help you compare options with confidence.
Q: What if I’m not sure what I want yet?
A: That’s normal. Our job is to help you figure it out by listening, guiding, and showing you what’s possible based on your lifestyle, budget, and priorities.
Final Thought
They thought they might have to compromise.
They thought they might need to “settle.”
Then, just when they were about to give in… everything aligned.
This wasn’t coincidence. This was kismet.
And it’s the kind of outcome we strive for with every client.
We don’t just sell houses—we connect people to the places that feel like home.
