This architectural masterpiece on the Lockwood Folly River in Winding River Plantation marries Old World charm with coastal grandeur. Spanning 6,500+ square feet, the estate unfolds across meticulously landscaped grounds featuring a koi pond fountain courtyard, resort-style pool and spa, and private dock for a 30' vessel. Expansive windows capture dynamic water vistas from the ever-changing tides to the marsh's tranquil wildlife.
Beyond the custom ironwork entry, 12-foot ceilings and arched windows frame breathtaking views from nearly every room. The chef's kitchen, a culinary work of art, boasts cathedral ceilings, custom cherry and glazed maple cabinetry, and dual islands (granite and butcher block), paired with Sub-Zero, Gaggenau, and steam ovens. A walk-in pantry with pull-out systems and dual dishwasher drawers elevates functionality. The adjoining gathering room features a wet bar with Jura coffee machine, marble-etched artwork, and a fireplace lounge, perfect for seamless entertaining.
The primary suite presents a private retreat with dual custom closets, sitting area, and spa-inspired bath featuring an eight-head steam shower and heated marble floors. His-and-hers sunrooms offer tailored retreats hers with a hand-painted 'tundra' wood ceiling, his with hurricane windows and limestone accents. Separate guest quarters above the garage are equipped with a kitchenette and fireplace to ensure luxury, while two en-suite bedrooms open to private balconies.
Outdoors, Brazilian hardwood decks and bluestone patios create alfresco dining venues overlooking the water. The half-acre horticultural showcase includes a cutting garden, fruit trees, and automated irrigation. Community privileges include a members-only marina, oceanfront beach club, and the 27-hole Fred Couples-designed Carolina National Golf Course. A rare union of architectural mastery, cutting-edge amenities, and unrivaled privacy, this estate redefines coastal luxury.
