The Main house, Completed in Spring 1990, contains 3 bdrms, 2.5 baths, in 2,868 square feet. There is a large living/dining area with a gas log fireplace, a large sun room across the river side of the house, and a smaller sunroom on one side which is the main entrance and is currently used as an office. The guest house/caretaker cottage, with 1,586 square feet, was built in 1965, and was remodeled last time in 2006. It has 2 bdrms, 2 baths, a den/office, eat in kitchen and large living/dining area. The master suite is a new addition and measures 20' X 24'! There is a salt water pool (currently closed for the winter), and from the screened porch, an amazing view of the Colleton River, which is 8 ft deep at low tide. The property sits on the mainland side of the Colleton, on a 16 ft bluff, which means NO FLOOD INSURANCE REQUIRED! The incredible view across the wide river is of Pinckney Colony Preserve, recently purchased by Beaufort County Land Trust. No development to be done, and the amazing view won't be disturbed. The Pristine river is teaming with fish, shrimp and oysters. Gather some and hold your own Lowcountry boil on the large deck. (Gas grill and all appliances are all included with the main home. You and your guests will never get bored here! The sunsets are breathtaking! There is a Dock permit in place which is valid until 12/30/2017. The gourmet kitchen in the main house (see photos) is awesome with top of the line appliances including Viking gas cooktop, electric oven and microwave (both also convection), matching refrigerator and freezer by Frigidaire, Bosch dishwasher, and a separate Kitchenaid ice maker. It has granite countertops, cherry cabinets w/underlighting, and large undermount single sink. The downstairs master suite has a full bath w/ large shower; laundry and two large walk-in closets. There is also a half bath between the master and main living area which doubles as a second half bath for the master. This can be closed off with a pocket door for complete privacy. Very convenient!! No carpets in either house! Wood, tile, marble, slate only. Both houses have access ramps to serve mobility challenged residents, family and friends. Main house has two large bedrooms, a full bath and small den upstairs as well. The den makes a great bunk room, but is currently used as a craft/sewing room. This property is truly well maintained with up-to-date appointments throughout. (New roof-2013).The mature landscaping on the property includes amazing live oak trees, magnolias, pecans and pines. There are old mature azaleas that bloom profusely in the spring, as well as camellias and multiple other easy care plantings. The property is fenced along the street and one side, with a private drive used by both houses. There is plenty of room to add on another house, pasture, garden or whatever you choose. Both properties are on one city water tap. However, each has a potable well, which is used for all exterior activities, including the pool, so bill is less than $40/month. Each house is on a separate electric meter. The propane gas is supplied via the 100 gallon tank, owned by the property. Currently the tank is filled approximately once every 15 months or so! There are no HOA/POA fees, no restrictions. You can park your boat, RV, car collection, or other toys. You can keep horses, cows, chickens, dogs, cats - and as many as you choose. You can plant a garden, or not. The choices are yours, and are limited only by your imagination. Even with the rural feel of the property, it is conveniently located half way between Beaufort and Bluffton, as well as to shopping, and schools. Hilton Head is just 30 minutes away, as are the airport and Savannah. Charleston a short 1.5 hours away via new divided highway. Property like this does not come on the market very often, and must truly be seen to really appreciate the value, and its beauty. As to schools, the elementary is Okatie Elementary (#1 elementary in the state last year!), Bluff
