About this home
A truly rare offering, this extraordinary 24+/- acre multi-parcel estate embodies refined Lowcountry living at its finest--where privacy, craftsmanship, and natural beauty converge just minutes from the heart of Charleston. Comprising three distinct parcels, this remarkable property offers the flexibility to create a legacy estate, whether envisioned as a private sanctuary, equestrian retreat, multi-generational compound, or an exceptional setting for curated gatherings.After passing through the private gated entrance, a picturesque wraparound drive leads you toward the estate, gently winding past a serene pond complete with a charming fountain--an unforgettable first impression that sets the tone for the beauty and tranquility found throughout the property. A striking entry fountainfurther introduces the estate with timeless elegance, while thoughtfully designed uplighting casts a warm, ambient glow across the grounds, creating a captivating atmosphere from dusk into evening.
The main residence is a masterclass in Southern design and artisanal detail, offering 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, complemented by nearly 2,000 square feet of wraparound porches that seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living. With access to porches from multiple points throughout the home, each moment of the day invites a new perspective--sunrise, midday serenity, and breathtaking western sunsets.
Inside, the heart of the home is both elegant and functional. The kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with a 6-burner gas range, a spacious walk-in pantry, abundant custom storage, and a statement island crafted with locally sourced oysters from Yemassee, South Carolina. An oversized dining room provides a stunning setting for both intimate dinners and grand entertaining. Reclaimed wood flooring from a historic tobacco barn in Wilson, North Carolina and handcrafted Caribbean pine doors--custom made in Mount Pleasant--add warmth, authenticity, and a sense of place throughout. A whole-home sound system and central vacuum enhance both comfort and convenience.
The main-level owner's suite is a private sanctuary, complete with its own sitting area and fireplace, creating a serene retreat within the home. The expansive en suite bathroom features a classic clawfoot soaking tub, a walk-in shower, and dual walk-in closets--one of which is generously sized to serve as a private office, fitness space, or dressing retreat. Direct access to the outdoors allows for peaceful mornings by the pool, where sunrise and coffee become a daily ritual.
Upstairs, a thoughtfully designed loft with multi-level floor elevations creates distinct yet connected spaces--ideal for a media lounge, play area, study zone, or creative workspace. Guest accommodations are equally impressive, including a bunk room designed to comfortably host eight or more, along with additional flexible-use rooms perfect for play, hobbies, or storage. Upstairs bedrooms feature a unique lofted "tunnel" connection from each loft, creating a playful yet functional space ideal for additional lounging or recreation.
The laundry and mudroom balance style and utility, featuring a subway-tiled dog washing station, built-in drop zone, and generous storage - perfectly suited for an active Lowcountry lifestyle.
Outdoor living is nothing short of exceptional. A resort-caliber saltwater pool, finished with elegant travertine pavers and color-changing LED lighting, creates a private oasis for relaxation and entertaining. The outdoor entertainment space surrounding the pool has been thoughtfully enhanced with a new outdoor kitchen setup, featuring a gas grill, smoker, ice chest, and additional seating--perfect for hosting gatherings or enjoying relaxed evenings under the Lowcountry sky. The surrounding grounds are equally refined, featuring a crushed oyster shell fire pit area and curated landscaping details. CAT6 connectivity extends to the pool area, offering seamless outdoor entertainment integration.
The estate's water features are equally remarkable. Lot 1 includes a stunning 4-acre lake with a two-story dock equipped with power--an idyllic setting for peaceful mornings or sunset gatherings. In addition, an approximately 1.5-acre freshwater pond, stocked with bass, bream, tilapia, and catfish, features automatic LED accent lighting, enhancing both beauty and ambiance. A geothermal HVAC system is discreetly located beneath the pond, reflecting thoughtful and efficient design.
The grounds are rich with natural beauty and functionality. Mature fig trees, magnolias, and grand oaks create a quintessential Southern landscape, complemented by muscadine vines, blueberry plantings, and a productive garden filled with wildflowers, jalapeños, okra, and peppers. Wildlife is abundant, with frequent sightings of deer, turkeys, eagles, ducks, and more, offering a true connection to nature.
Beyond its natural beauty, the property offers abundant space for recreation and family gatherings. Expansive open areas create the perfect setting for outdoor fun--complete with a built-in basketball hoop, space for volleyball and net games, and plenty of room for classic holiday traditions like family football matchups on the lawn. Spend afternoons fishing in the ponds, riding horses across the acreage, or bringing your vision of a hobby farm to life with dream animals such as miniature cows or other farm companions.
An additional approximately 8-acre parcel features a substantial barn structure, previously configured with five bays measuring approximately 12' x 30' each, along with a 24' x 30' enclosed workshop. Currently incorporating a chicken coop, the structure offers endless potential to be reimagined as equestrian stables, a collector's showroom, or a versatile workspace. Several deer stands are thoughtfully positioned throughout the property, further enhancing its recreational appeal.
A detached, climate-controlled garage encompassing approximately 967 square feet provides exceptional space for car collectors, hobbyists, or a private fitness studio, while an attached carport offers ample height and clearance--ideal for accommodating a T-top boat. Above the detached garage, a fully private apartment offers outstanding flexibility, complete with a full kitchen, laundry, one bedroom, and one bathroom--perfect for guests, extended family, an estate caretaker, or even income-producing potential. The property also includes dedicated RV parking with power, adding yet another layer of versatility.
The grounds have been meticulously maintained with paspalum grass--renowned for its resilience and low maintenance--paired with drip irrigation throughout for efficient care. Additional infrastructure includes a geothermal system hookup, irrigation ready for activation, and comprehensive pest and mosquito control services in place.
Despite its sense of seclusion, the estate remains exceptionally convenient. Just minutes from Charleston Executive Airport, approximately 10 miles from historic downtown Charleston's celebrated dining and cultural scene, and within easy reach of marinas and coastal recreation. Golf enthusiasts will appreciate proximity to Briar's Creek and the iconic Ocean Course at Kiawah Island, or an easy jump to the James Island Muni.
Offering an unparalleled blend of luxury, land, and lifestyle, this is more than a home--it is a legacy property of rare distinction in one of the Lowcountry's most coveted settings....
