Set on approximately two private acres in the coveted May River Forest, this exceptional Lowcountry estate offers a rare combination of architectural distinction, expansive grounds, and breathtaking lagoon and golf course views. Designed by renowned architect, Pearce Scott and built by CSTHOMAS, the residence was thoughtfully conceived to embrace its extraordinary setting while offering an elegant yet relaxed approach to Lowcountry living. With five bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths, the home provides beautifully proportioned spaces for both intimate everyday living and gracious entertaining. Abundant natural light and thoughtfully placed windows frame views of the surrounding landscape, creating a seamless connection between the interiors and the natural beauty beyond. Refined architectural details to include 15 foot souring ceilings, generous gathering spaces, and an effortless flow throughout the home speak to the quality and intention behind its design. A versatile FROG adds another dimension to the floor plan, providing an ideal space for a private guest retreat, home office, media room, fitness studio, or additional living area. The outdoor spaces are truly extraordinary and designed for year-round enjoyment. A private swimming pool and hot tub form the centerpiece of a resort-inspired setting, while two fire pits create intimate gathering areas for evenings under the stars. Whether hosting friends poolside, relaxing in the spa, or enjoying a quiet evening by the fire, the property offers multiple spaces to experience the beauty of the Lowcountry outdoors. Beyond the pool, tranquil lagoon waters lead the eye toward sweeping golf course views, creating an ever-changing backdrop of water, mature landscape, and open fairways. The expansive two-acre homesite provides a remarkable sense of privacy and space rarely found, allowing the home to feel like a secluded retreat within May River Forest. From its distinguished architectural pedigree to its spectacular outdoor living spaces and picturesque setting, this is a property that captures the essence of refined Lowcountry living-private, gracious, and effortlessly beautiful.
