Ribaut Island is one of the premier neighborhoods on beautiful Hilton Head Island. The privacy of this private enclave of 60 homes is assured by the Ribaut Island bridge that connects it to the private residential community of Hilton Head Plantation. The lots are large, the houses grand, and the landscaping spectacular. As you approach the community, a private bridge spans across tidal marsh and you pick up your first views of the Intracoastal Waterway and Port Royal Sound. The double entry gate with electronic gate access is accented with an oyster shell tabby wall and fountain. Drive through the gates, and you will pass the centerpiece recreational amenity of this plantation with a large private pool and tennis courts. Across the street, a private walkway leads to a community fishing dock. The roads have all been finished with rolled curb and gutter. The entire community is forested with magnificent old Live Oaks, native palmetto palms and other assorted hardwoods. At the entrance to the Smith residence, there is a circular brick-edged driveway flanked at each end with lighted bollards. The brick-edged concrete walks lead to brick stairs finished with iron railing and a magnificent arched portico entry with accent columns and a matching arched entry door system with double heavy leaded and beveled glass mahogany doors flanked on either side by sidelights and topped in transom and arched windows. At this point, stop and admire the oversized homesite, professionally installed landscaping, yard lighting and spectacular trees. Now lets take a tour of this fine home. This 6000+ square foot home was lovingly built by long-time island homebuilder, Dick Lowe and Associates. Nothing was spared in terms of quality of material, interior trim or design. Step through the massive entry doors and you find yourself in a grand foyer with a large floating circular stairway which leads to the open 2nd floor balcony. Off to the left is a cozy library/study with coffered ceilings, arc
