Designed by renowned architect Julia Starr Sanford, Kiawah River's iconic Butterfly Garden Cottage collection offers a picturesque setting that embodies a relaxed, welcoming take on coastal luxury--where connection to nature and neighbors is part of everyday life.On a bright corner lot overlooking the Mews, a thoughtfully preserved garden and gathering space, the home is immersed in a living landscape of seasonal blooms, a gentle fountain, and the quiet presence of birds and butterflies. From the screened front porch, the view unfolds like a private garden retreat. Designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living, the home balances intimacy and openness with spaces that flow naturally from one to the next. An open-concept living room and kitchen create a welcoming environment wherefamily and guests can gather, and the chef remains part of the conversation. Thoughtfully designed for comfort and flexibility, the home features dual primary suites--one on the main level and one upstairs--along with a third en-suite bedroom.

The private, fenced courtyard offers a quiet extension of the home--ideal for morning coffee, evening gatherings, or simply unwinding. A tucked-away, custom two-bay garage accessed via the rear alley maintains the home's pedestrian-friendly orientation and offers dedicated space for both a boat and a golf cart.

This location offers exceptional proximity to Kiawah River's world-class amenities. Oak Park, one of Kiawah River's most treasured gathering spaces, is steps from the front door and offers a pavilion, wood-burning fireplace and grills framed by centuries old Live Oaks. Just beyond, Farmstead Park brings together pickleball, tennis, and a dog park, while the Spring House anchors waterfront living with its pool, fitness center and poolside dining. Nearby, The Dunlin, Auberge Collection offers refined hospitality, dining, and spa experiences that elevate everyday living. 20+ miles of waterfront and wooded trails begin just beyond your door, linking seamlessly to neighbors, to nature, and to the land itself. Whether stepping out for a morning walk, gathering with friends, or simply enjoying the stillness of the landscape, life here unfolds with intention.
