An authentic Sandy Island river retreat. Built for boating, relaxing, entertaining, and, most importantly, a place to get away from it all. Located on famous Sandy Island, the largest underdeveloped freshwater island on the East Coast. The majority of the island is part of The Nature Conservancy, a protected wildlife refuge. Nestled on one of the estuaries that wind through the island, this A-frame house is loaded with character. Lovingly constructed to fully enjoy all that family and friends could want, it has one main bedroom and a half bath. Upstairs in the loft are four bunk beds with room for more. An open kitchen has everything needed to cook for a crowd. However, the most eye-catching features are the hand-carved railings and support beams. Unique pieces of driftwood art are found everywhere. The distinctive craftsmanship was created by a local driftwood artist. Outside, you will find decking that encircles the entire house. On the back deck is a huge hot-and-cold, glassed-in shower. There is plenty of dock space for your boat and company. This river retreat is accessible ONLY BY BOAT. Buyers may wish to explore membership opportunities at The Reserve Marina, which offers dry boat storage and boat-launching services, along with a restaurant and bar. There is also Wacca Wache Marina, with a public boat launch, waterfront restaurant and bar, and boat storage. Your opportunity to own a piece of true Lowcountry treasure. Sandy Island offers one of the most unique experiences you will find on the East Coast.
