Description

If you've been seeking that rare blend of seclusion, sanctuary and scenic beauty, welcome. Perched high on a quiet hilltop with panoramic views of Moultrie Creek, this nature-centric property offers a welcome sense of peace. Picture yourself immersed in the quiet magic of the sunrise over the water and the mesmerizing colors of sunset. Conveniently located near all essential services, yet worlds away in terms of tranquility, you’re within easy reach of myriad dining opportunities, cultural attractions, historic landmarks, and outdoor adventures. Yet, once you turn into the long, winding drive and arrive at this haven, you’ll feel like you've stepped into a world apart as the house unveils itself. For those who appreciate fine automobiles or have a passion for their hobbies, the detached 1,200-square-foot garage will be a standout feature. With soaring ceilings, a lift, a compressor, and room for four cars in tandem (with a fifth on the lift), it’s a dream setup for collectors or enthusiasts. Whether it’s cars, gear, or projects, this space is built for your passions. The home's solid masonry construction on the main floor, newly updated roof, and whole-house generator lets you focus on more interesting things. Designed with natural light in mind, every corner of this home invites the outdoors in, from large windows to glass doors framing water vistas. Inside, the spacious gathering room, under a vaulted, wood-beamed ceiling, sets the stage for both relaxed evenings and entertaining. There will be happy evenings by the fireplace or hosting family and friends in this inviting space that flows seamlessly to the pool and patio beyond. The tranquil creek and marsh grasses form a calming backdrop as you get acquainted with birds gliding across the water on their daily commute. With 3,300 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, there’s room for everyone. The sunlit kitchen is equally suited for informal meals or a flexible nook for a home office headquarters. A breakfast nook, surrounded by a semicircle of windows, offers an uninterrupted view of the water where you’ll find yourself lingering longer. The first-floor, en-suite main bedroom is a quiet retreat with a private patio. Featuring a raised seating area, it's ideal for movie nights or a reading nook. The upstairs guest wing features two generously sized bedrooms and a full bathroom. Comfortable for short and extended stay visits, they will not lack for company. Just steps away from the kitchen, the laundry room leads directly to the pool deck, along with a convenient half-bath for guests. The attached garage can easily be reimagined for whatever fits your needs, whether that’s additional living space, home gym or something else entirely. A back staircase leads up to a light-filled, expansive art studio with wide open views of blue skies and tranquil waters – make this space your own and let your muse flex her muscles. Step outside, and the beauty of Moultrie Creek surrounds you. The pool deck offers a front-row seat to the water, creating an enviable space for outdoor relaxation or entertaining. A meandering path leads to a small dock, where you can launch a kayak or simply sit and watch the world go by, immersed in nature’s quiet. The owners have thoughtfully enhanced this property, making improvements that enrich both the home and the land. Now, they invite you to experience the same sense of tranquility and happiness that has defined their time here—a rare opportunity to live in a place where serenity, beauty, and nature come together.
