Back in 1991, when prospects had the opportunity to choose any home site on Spring Island for building a dream home, a couple from Illinois enlisted the expertise of Gordon Mobley, the island???s plantation manager, to help with their selection. The reasons for is selection of this particular spot were numerous.The property sits on a bluff and faces due west, capturing views of magnificent sunsets reflecting on a wide expanse of water winding through miles and miles of spartina. Behind the spartina are the deep waters of the Callawassie Creek and the storied Colleton River.Here, sunset time is a daily wonder that is miraculous to behold. And it will forever be enjoyed in sublime privacy. The three remaining sides of the property are surrounded only by a maritime forest of towering Loblolly pines, moss draped oaks, palmettos and hickory trees. This home will forever be totally cloistered.To achieve maximum benefits from this phenomenal setting, master Lowcountry architect Tom Stanley was chosen to design the home. His primary focus was to take advantage of the sunset views and the west side of the two-story home is graced by covered porches running the full width of both stories. Tabby sides and metal roofing, Stanley trademarks, make up the home???s exterior. Inside, Palladian windows, French doors, coffered ceilings and heart pine floors are but a few of the Stanley features that graciously enhance traditional Southern-style comfort and coziness.Special features:Gorgeous sunsetsCoffered ceilingsHeart pine floorsPalladian windowsSeparate guest quarters
