8 Pine Island, Okatie, SC 29909 - Beaufort County

Welcome to ''Pine Island,'' a 56.1-acre private island retreat for the ultimate escape. Designed by William McDonough of Charlottesville, VA, and skillfully constructed by Bay 10 Ventures, the stunning home draws influence from Japanese architecture while incorporating elements of South Carolina Lowcountry design. A custom-designed 6130 square foot, 3 BR, 3 BA home built with museum-quality finishes, deep water dock, luxurious pool, six-car garage, 885 square foot guest house, and an expansive sportsman's club just across the causeway at Spring Island.

The owner insisted on the finest materials and attention to detail; white oak from Pennsylvania barns, recycled red western cedar, butternut, white pine, soapstone for the fireplace, a copper roof, hand-forged railings, custom-designed bronze hardware, and ancient cypress logs, excavated from the depths of surrounding rivers, create a home that is worthy of its excellent site. Professionally landscaped grounds by Oehme, Van Sweden & Associates. Next to the garage, a fenced paddock exists next to a potential horse pasture. An emergency backup diesel generator services the entire main home, guest cottage, garage, and tractor shed.

The 885 sq ft cottage is currently utilized as a guest bedroom with an adjoining space ideal for a fitness center or yoga studio. The existing Boat dock features an 18 X 22-foot covered pavilion with electricity and water, a 60-foot main dock with a 30-foot extension, 16 X 8-foot kayak dock, boat lift, and mooring buoy. A major benefit of this property is potential access to the private Spring Island Club and its extensive array of amenities - golf; tennis; pickleball; fitness; quail hunting preserve; sporting clays; community garden; equestrian; dining; security.
