Set within the exclusive Summer Islands enclave, an intimate and prestigious collection of homes surrounded by sweeping marshland, this extraordinary Kiawah Island estate offers a rare combination of deepwater dock access, breathtaking panoramic views, privacy, and uncompromising craftsmanship.Positioned on a private 0.82-acre lot on a point with 180+ degree views of uninterrupted marsh and river vistas, the property enjoys long-range views stretching all the way to the iconic Ravenel Bridge. Overlooking the serene waters of Bass Creek, the home features one of the few private docks on Kiawah with deep water even at low tide, allowing for effortless boating access to the Kiawah and Stono Rivers and out to the Atlantic Ocean. The deepwater dock and floater elevate an already exceptionalwaterfront experience. This is a true private retreat--meticulously reimagined and recently fully renovated with no detail overlooked.
