Offering a
luxuriant combination of opulence,
intimacy, and environmental beauty, this
extravagant waterfront home in chic and
historic Spanish Wells is a timeless
treasure. Blessed with commanding views
of vast sea island estuary, the lavish 4
bedroom, 4 1/2 bathroom estate has a
year-round front-row seat for nature's
most spectacular performances - frolicking
dolphins, diving ospreys, roaming sea
turtles, wading egrets, and golden sunsets

Spanish
Wells was named for the life-giving
sources of water crucial to early
explorers, and so too, the character of
this outstanding property is enhanced with
the vivid grandeur of its coastal
surroundings. Nestled among shady live
oaks along the striking Brams Point
peninsula, and entered through the
flourishing greenspaces of a landscaped
old Savannah brick courtyard, nearly 8,000
square feet of living, entertaining and
recreational space under roof is
ingeniously designed to afford glorious
deep-water views throughout.
Enthralling interior amenities include the
relaxed scenic sanctuary of a family
room/study with a classic stacked stone
fireplace complementing an exquisite
custom-designed and fashioned wormy
chestnut desk/ work station and cabinetry.
The delightfully cozy living room features
an enticing old Savannah brick fireplace
and a dazzling High-Definition home
theater with surround sound to add another
dynamic dimension to the wondrous views.
The
elaborate gourmet kitchen, designed by
distinguished architect Mark Taylor,
blends incomparable style with superb
efficiency in a scintillating array of

refrigerator/freezer, Kitchen Aid double
oven, convection/microwave ovens, Grohe
plumbing fixtures, hot water dispenser and

The
dazzling indoor swimming pool area is
lighted naturally with skylights and
enjoys the invigorating fragrances and
exceptional views of surrounding gardens,
grounds and waterways through broad screen
panels. Perfect for enjoyment throughout
the year as a plush entertainment and spa
area, the swimming pool is temperature and
filter-controlled with the fingertip
automation of AquaLink systems that allow
customized programming of lighting,
heating and water quality features.
The
first-floor master bedroom is beautifully
equipped with heart-pine floors, custom
wood blinds, skylights, paddle ceiling
fans, and fabulous views of moss-covered
oaks and deep water. The adjoining master

glorious outdoors beckon temptingly
through custom doors and windows to a
number of invigorating areas, such as an
airy hardwood deck overlooking expansive
bay front vistas, the comfortable brick
alcove with roof extension for enjoying an
occasional gentle rain, and a splendid
railed dock extending into the depths of
Calibogue Sound. Featuring an automated
boat lift, power and water sources, and a

or simply enjoying the beauty of the
pristine bay area with guests and friends.
