Description

Located in the gated community of Romain Retreat by the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge, this is absolutely one of the most gorgeous, unique properties I have seen. From the long oak lined driveway, to the huge beautiful oaks with hanging moss framing the home, to the incredible views of the waterway and Bulls Island, to the recently built dock with a 10,000 pound covered boatlift and floater, this property is very special.

From the long oak lined driveway, to the huge beautiful oaks with hanging moss framing the home, to the incredible views of the waterway and Bulls Island, to the recently built dock with a 10,000 pound covered boatlift and floater, this property is very special. While most lots have about 200 feet of water frontage, this lot has approximately 400 feet of frontage and is 2.3 acres, making it one of the largest waterfront lots in the neighborhood. Add to that the ancient oaks, a civil war cannon mound, and remnants of a prohibition still, and you can see why it is so unique. Right out front is the Cape Romain NationalWildlife Refuge, well known as a prime area for oysters, shrimp, and great fishing. You are just a short boat ride away to secluded beaches, or boat down to other neighboring barrier islands like Capers Island or Isle of Palms or visit nearby Charleston. This lowcountry style home was custom built by Daly & Sawyer, one of the area's top builders, and has such features as heartpine floors, 9 ft. smooth ceilings, Anderson windows and doors, and over 1000 sq. ft. of porch and deck space. The floor plan is open and there is maximum amount of glass to take advantage of the expansive water views. It has a flexible floorplan with a study/den with built-in bookshelves off the living room or use it in its current configuration as a 5th bedroom. The kitchen has cherry cabinets, beamed ceiling, a wine rack and wet bar, center island, and newer stainless appliances. There are two fireplaces, one in the living room and one in the downstairs study/den. The master bedroom has great views and has a large master bath. There is plenty of space for your outdoor enjoyment with a large front porch, and a deck, covered porches, and a screened porch in back overlooking the waterway and marsh. For a boater, probably the best feature is the dock that is perhaps one of the nicest private docks in the area. The 2 year old dock was constructed with special storm resistant features, and features a 10,000 pound covered boatlift for 2 boats, a floater, and a pier head along with water and power. The home also has easy access to the neighborhood common area that includes a dock, boat landing, and screened outdoor entertainment area on the private neighborhood lake. It's a nice feature to be able to put your boat in the water in your neighborhood. Some other notable features are top quality construction with concrete driven pilings instead of wood, 2 newer energy efficient geothermal heat pumps, high grade insulation, central vacuum, whole house water filtration system, and Anderson windows and doors. Under the house, there is parking for 3 cars and enough space to park a 23' boat. There are 2 240v electric car charging outlets, plenty of easy access storage, and an outdoor shower. The owners named the home 22 Oak Estate for the 22 foot circumference oak in the front yard. The property has multiple mature oaks surrounding an open lawn in addition to the long meandering oak-lined driveway. The house is on the site of the old 'Anderson' home. Anderson Creek, which is one of the main creeks to the enormous Bulls Bay, is directly across the waterway from the house. Through it you can boat to secluded beaches on Bull Island that are part of the Wildlife Refuge that will never be developed. Perhaps because of its proximity to Anderson Creek, dolphins are regularly seen from the dock. This area has some of the best fishing and shrimping around, with local guides heading up this way to catch the local favorite Redfish. Also easily caught of the dock. The neighborhood roads are gravel (it is equestrian friendly), but they are considering paving them. Horses (but NOT other farm animals) are allowed in the gated community. Fiber optic internet is currently being installed. In the past, the house has had rental income of approximately $60,000/yr.
