14 Trading Post Trl, Okatie, SC 29909

A magical place to live on a very special island; ideally located at the end of a cul-de-sac ensuring privacy and quiet, wrapped around by a pond and nature, within easy walking distance of the Stables, Nature Center, Sports Complex, River House, Boat Docks, and Art Barn. You can walk to the Post Office to pick up your mail, admire the sunset from the deck, and grab a cookie at the Gathering Room, all in a quick walk! This one and one half story home combines form, function and relaxed southern style. Replete with high quality fixture and finishes, the plan maximizes views from all important spaces. The great room, dining room, den and master bedroom suite all take in the birds that nest and fish on Duck Pen Pond. The well equipped kitchen is supported by a pantry and nearby utility room. The master bedroom is one of three possible en-suite bedrooms. The home’s second floor functions equally well as guest suites or an enclave for children and grandchildren. There are two en-suite bedrooms. One of these could be an upstairs master bedroom, attached to five closets (2 walk-in). Or, there are his and hers offices and two bedrooms. Or, or, or; the home was designed to provide opportunities in how each room is used. A home with family as the focus, a ramp to the home’s side entry provides easy access from a covered two car carport, for a wagon that carries all the shopping into the kitchen and pantry. The conditioned storage area can be your office, your shop, your studio or a guest suite/mother-in-law suite. The utilities are all stubbed in and ready for your decision; it has been, up to now, a fantastic shop and studio. An inspired mixture of mature native plant material and old growth specimen trees combine to create an indigenous setting. The owners are in love with the Lowcountry: one of National Geographic’s 15 best places in the world. They have landscaped your property so you know that you are in the Ace Basin when you drive in the driveway, look out the window or sit on the porch. The home is built to be “care free”: the materials used make caring for your home easy. You can be out on the pond fishing, walking the 38 miles of trails with friends or simply sit in your Great Room with doors open, staring at the panoramic views of Duck Pen Pond, watching many different species of birds that visit throughout the year. The resident Great Blue Heron stops by on a regular basis, walking within 25 feet of your chair!
