About This Home

Set within the exclusive Summer Islands enclave, an intimate and prestigious collection of homes surrounded by sweeping marshland, this extraordinary Kiawah Island estate offers a rare combination of deepwater dock access, breathtaking panoramic views, privacy, and uncompromising craftsmanship.Positioned on a private 0.82-acre lot on a point with 180+ degree views of uninterrupted marsh and river vistas, the property enjoys long-range views stretching all the way to the iconic Ravenel Bridge. Overlooking the serene waters of Bass Creek, the home features one of the few private docks on Kiawah with deep water even at low tide, allowing for effortless boating access to the Kiawah and Stono Rivers and out to the Atlantic Ocean. The deepwater dock and floater elevate an already exceptionalwaterfront experience.

This is a true private retreat--meticulously reimagined and recently fully renovated with no detail overlooked. The interiors reflect a level of artistry and craftsmanship rarely seen, with soaring 20+ foot ceilings, expansive entertaining spaces, and walls of glass that frame the ever-changing marsh landscape. Every surface has been thoughtfully updated, including a completely new designer kitchen and scullery, a stunning new primary bath, and curated finishes throughout--new bathrooms, new lighting, custom cabinetry, and refined fixtures that create a cohesive and elevated aesthetic.

Outdoors, the transformation continues. Renowned landscape architects Wertimer + Cline have redesigned the grounds to create a seamless connection between home and nature, incorporating new pathways, lush plantings, and a beautifully integrated new pool. A stone pool deck provides the perfect setting for entertaining or quiet relaxation, all set against a backdrop of panoramic water and marsh views.

The spectacular main residence offers three bedrooms and three and a half baths, with generous living and entertaining spaces designed to capture light and views from every angle. A stunning foyer, custom wood and glass doors, elevator, wine storage room, den/tv room with trellis beamed ceiling, circular office or music room, and large garages enhance the luxurious property. A fully equipped guest house provides exceptional flexibility, featuring two additional bedrooms, two full bathrooms, kitchen, living room, office, laundry, and a second garage--ideal for hosting guests in complete comfort and privacy.

One of the finest homes on Kiawah Island, this property represents a rare opportunity to own a deepwater dock estate of exceptional quality, privacy, and natural beauty.

Kiawah Island Club Golf Club Membership available for purchase.
