Poole. Nestled on 6 beautifully landscaped acres, with an optional adjoining 4-acre pasture, this estate offers the perfect blend of classic Southern charm and modern rural luxury-ideal for equestrian pursuits, homesteading, or simply enjoying wide-open spaces. The Edisto River Cottage offers 3,287 SqFt of thoughtfully designed living space, featuring four bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms. Each bedroom has its own private bath and walk-in closet. The home showcases soaring ceilings-19 feet in the living area, 10 feet throughout the main level, and 8 feet upstairs-along with abundant natural light from multiple large picture windows and a charming bay window in the kitchen. Beautiful hardwood floors run throughout the home, with carpet in the versatile flex room. Located above the garage and connected to the house, this flex space has its own private entrance, full bath, sitting and sleeping area and can serve as a second master, in-law suite, guest apartment, or private office. From the expansive front porch to the back deck, or the brick-inlaid patio with fire pit, or the sparkling 16x38 fiberglass pool (added in 2021), every corner of this home invites relaxation and connection with nature. The grounds are a gardener's paradise, featuring meticulously maintained flower beds filled with roses, azaleas, hydrangeas, plumbago, 'Blue My Mind', and Confederate & Carolina jasmine. Enjoy the Meyer lemon, Satsuma orange, fig, and pear trees and your own pecan grove. We invite you to enjoy the video that captures the essence of the 1557 Ellis Rd estate.
