Exclusive Waterfront Properties in Beaufort County on the Market for $15 Million
Luxury living reaches new heights with the introduction of two stunning waterfront properties in Beaufort County, currently listed for a jaw-dropping $15 million. These unique properties – located on Chechessee Creek – promise an oasis of tranquility combining modern design with the charm of island living.
Introducing the Properties: Okatie Highway and Rose Island
Spanning across a sprawling 22-acre waterfront lot, the Okatie Highway parcel boasts an impressive 8,362-square-foot primary home designed by the acclaimed Jim Strickland of Historical Concepts from Atlanta. The architectural masterpiece features exquisite vaulted exposed-beam ceilings and handmade woodwork crafted from locally sourced pine, embodying an aesthetic that harmoniously blends comfort and elegance.
Nearby, Rose Island is a private 450-acre island retreat that carries its own charm. This parcel offers a cozy four-bedroom, 2,006-square-foot home and is equipped with a delightful pen full of farm animals, including goats, sheep, and even a miniature donkey. This adds a playful touch to the luxurious environment, making it not just a residence but a lifestyle.
Connections and Unique Features
What sets these properties apart, aside from their breathtaking dynamics, is their connectivity. A mere five-minute boat ride connects the Okatie Highway home to Rose Island, showcasing an exclusive lifestyle where waterfront adventures are merely a moment away. Multiple boat docks further enhance this island connectivity, offering residents easy access to the water.
The Okatie Highway residence features a remarkable two-level dock that includes a shaded sitting area and a mini-kitchen, perfect for relaxing or entertaining guests. The home has been constructed with poured concrete walls and commercial-grade materials to withstand storms and hurricanes, alongside a concrete safe room providing added security for extreme weather events.
Eco-Friendly Island Living
Meanwhile, the Rose Island abode is designed to be off the grid, promoting a self-sustaining lifestyle with the potential for 110 buildable acres zoned for residential use. The existing structures on the island, including a variety of outdoor wooden obstacles, create plenty of recreational opportunities and add to the allure of off-the-grid living. This property is a charming escape that exudes a unique character often sought by high-end homebuyers.
Real Estate Market Trends
This $15 million listing represents one of the highest-priced active listings in the Lowcountry region, placing it alongside other high-value properties such as Richmond Plantation, priced at $16.5 million, and a stunning $16 million oceanfront home on Kiawah Island. As the Lowcountry continues to attract interest from wealthy buyers, particularly those relocating from high-cost areas like California and New York, the demand for luxury properties is on the rise.
Market observers note that the local real estate landscape is evolving, creating fertile ground for investments, particularly in Charleston, Beaufort, and Bluffton. As interest increases, prospects for these stunning waterfront properties burgeon, appealing to those seeking expansive spaces and a luxurious coastal lifestyle.
In Conclusion
The exquisite pairing of the Okatie Highway and Rose Island presents a remarkable opportunity for discerning buyers. Offering unparalleled luxury and the promise of a serene lifestyle with access to nature, these properties are not just listings; they are lifestyle statements awaiting their next proud owners.
