A Timeless Lowcountry Retreat Along the Okatie River. Some homes you pass once and remember forever. Designed by renowned architect Gerry Cowart and built by Yestermorrow, this residence was thoughtfully positioned to live among the oaks and capture sweeping views of the Okatie River. Savannah brick accents, gas lanterns, and natural materials set the tone for a home rooted in classic Lowcountry tradition.
Inside, reclaimed hardwood floors, extensive millwork, and custom built-ins reflect exceptional craftsmanship at every turn. The main living space centers around a fireplace and flows seamlessly into the dining area with a custom built-in, then opens to an enclosed porch with panoramic river views.
Next, move into the chef’s kitchen-appointed with Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Bosch appliances, a large island, walk-in pantry, and coffee station. Just beyond, a cozy keeping room with fireplace and screened porch with grilling area sit to one side, while a spacious laundry and mudroom is thoughtfully tucked to the other. The main-level primary suite is a private retreat with dual closets, a

spa-inspired bath with soaking tub and walk-in shower, and its own enclosed porch with swing. Upstairs, a library with balconyideal as a study or reading room-anchors two ensuite bedrooms, one with a window seat and the other with its own balcony, along with conditioned storage. It’s no surprise this setting has served as creative inspiration-the home, and its sweeping river views influenced the backdrop of the novel Acre of Fools, now in development for a television series. Spend a quiet evening here, and you’ll understand why.
Beyond the main residence, a detached guest cottage offers remarkable flexibility with built-in bunks, kitchenette, full bath, and a separate office with half bath and custom built-ins. Outdoor living is equally compelling with a plunge pool and spa, firepit, Ipe decking, outdoor kitchen, and outdoor shower-all set against a backdrop of marsh and river views. Additional features include a 2-car garage with golf cart bay, multiple storage sheds, wholehouse generator, encapsulated crawlspace, advanced smart home technology, and a metal roof. Located within Oldfield, this home offers a setting as memorable as the home itself.
