About this home
A Rare Waterfront on Bowens Island. Minutes to Folly Beach .Nestled beneath a canopy majestic oaks on historic Bowens Island, this extraordinary custom waterfront residence overlooks miles of protected tidal marsh, where winding creeks, native wildlife, and endless western skies create one of the most breathtaking settings in the Charleston area. As the sun slips below the horizon each evening, the marsh glows with extraordinary shades of gold and crimson--a spectacle reserved for only a fortunate few.Thoughtfully designed to celebrate its remarkable surroundings, this custom-built home offers approximately 4,100 square feet of refined living space. Priced below appraisalevery detail reflects exceptional craftsmanship. Reclaimed heart pine floors bring warmth and authenticity throughout the home, while handcrafted Plain & Fancy cabinetry, extensive custom millwork, and carefully selected finishes create interiors of understated elegance. Walls of glass frame panoramic marsh and tidal creek views from nearly every room, ensuring the beauty of the landscape is always within sight.
At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen is a true showpiece. Furniture-quality walnut cabinetry anchors the oversized island, while custom inset cabinetry, professional-grade appliances, and exquisite architectural detailing create a space equally suited for intimate family dinners and elegant entertaining.
The main-level owner's suite is a private retreat overlooking the marsh, complete with an expansive custom closet and a spa-inspired bath featuring granite countertops, an oversized tiled shower, and a soaking tub designed for quiet relaxation.
Beyond the interiors lies the lifestyle that makes Bowens Island legendary.
A beautifully landscaped lawn leads to your private dock on the tidal creek, where mornings begin with coffee overlooking the water and afternoons are spent kayaking through winding creeks, paddleboarding with dolphins in the distance, fishing from the dock, or pulling fresh blue crabs from the creek for an evening feast. The screened oyster room offers the perfect gathering place for unforgettable Lowcountry oyster roasts, where friends and family linger long after sunset beneath the glow of marsh skies.
An oversized three-plus-car garage provides exceptional storage for vehicles, golf carts, paddleboards, kayaks, and all the essentials for enjoying Charleston's coastal lifestyle.
Located just minutes from Folly Beach and Historic Downtown Charleston, yet surrounded by the peace and privacy of protected marshlands, this remarkable residence offers an increasingly rare opportunity to own one of Bowens Island's most exceptional waterfront homes.
This is more than a home. It is a front-row seat to one of the most extraordinary landscapes in the South--a place where life moves with the rhythm of the tides, sunsets become a daily ritual, and memories are made for generations....
