This remarkable historic property features five unique structures, each brimming with character, history, and timeless Southern charm. THE MAIN RESIDENCEBuilt in the early 1800s, the main house spans approximately 5,010 sq. ft. and showcases elegant Neoclassical design. With 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 2 half baths, the home was thoughtfully constructed one room deep to maximize ventilation andcapture the the prevailing sea breezes from its southern-facing rear overlooking Store Creek. The interiors reflect understated grace and classic proportions, making it both inviting and functional. The home is sold furnished, with a few exceptions. THE GUEST COTTAGE-"THE COTTON HOUSE"

Originally used for drying and storing bales of cotton and speculated to have once served as the overseer's residence, this historic structure was carefully dismantled and restored in 2008, preserving as much original wood as possible. It now serves as a charming 1,072 sq. ft. guest cottage with 1 bedroom, 1 full bath, 1 half bath, and a cozy living/kitchen area. The nearby bell, once used to call workers from the fields to meals, remains a tangible link to the past. Most of the furniture remains. THE PAVILION-OUTDOOR ENTERTAINING AT ITS FINEST

Perfect for gatherings, the pavilion features a fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances, cookware, a half bath, and a brick masonry wood-burning fireplaceideal for entertaining amid the sights and sounds of nature. Dr. POPE'S HISTORIC MEDICAL OFFICE

An authentic piece of history, this preserved building once served as Dr. Pope's medical office. Still housing his original equipment, bottles, and doctor's bag, it has been carefully updated to include climate control and a bathroom, offering a fascinating glimpse into early medical practice. THE DEEPWATER DOCK

Enjoy direct access to Store Creek and beyond via the large Deepwater dock, complete with a covered pier head, ramp and floating dock. With approximately 40 feet of water depth, it accommodates a wide range of boating and recreational activities year-round. MODERN COMFORTS THOUGHTFULLY INTEGRATED

While steeped in history, this exceptional estate has been carefully updated with modern conveniences to enhance comfort and functionality. Notable improvements include a whole house reverse osmosis water system with a 1,000-gallon filtered water storage tank and deep well that services the main residence, guest house and pavilion. A property backup generator ensures peace of mind during power outages, providing uninterrupted service to all major structures. Inside the main house, all bathrooms have been tastefully renovated with updated vanities, countertops, fixtures, mirrors, lighting, and custom tile walk-in showers. The kitchen has been completely transformed, featuring stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, quartzite countertops, and modern plumbing upgrades, blending historic charm with everyday ease. Edisto Island is a small sea island nestled in the heart of the protected ACE Basin, Edisto Island lies just 42 miles south of Historic Charleston, yet feels a world away.

and a slow pull of tide that says:
you're not in the city anymore.
