Lowcountry retreat harmonizes luxury living with the untamed beauty of the sea. Five spacious bedrooms (including a versatile 700-sq.-ft. loft ideal for a bonus room or guest suite) and 2½ baths unfold across 2,748 sq. ft. of light-filled living space. Wake to panoramic water views in the gourmet kitchen, where gleaming marble countertops, a generous island, and high-end appliances invite both casual breakfasts and elegant entertaining.
Step outside onto the expansive deck to savor your morning coffee as dolphins play offshore, then cast a line from the sandy beach for shrimp, clams, or fish. Horseback riders traverse the nearby coastal trails, while historic downtown Beaufort's shops and galleries await just minutes away. A four-car garage provides ample room for beach toys, a golf cart, and your boat, whatever you need for endless seaside adventures. Whether you're stargazing by a fire pit, exploring tidal creeks, or simply soaking in spectacular sunrises, this rare oceanfront escape delivers the ultimate in Lowcountry living.
