171 Bay Point Road, St. Helena Island, SC 29920
What's special
Nestled at the edge of Land's End, where breathtaking water views stretch in every direction, 171 Bay Point Road is a truly exceptional waterfront retreat that captures the essence of Lowcountry luxury. Thoughtfully crafted by esteemed builder Chuck Ferguson to uncompromising standards, every inch of this custom home reflects timeless craftsmanship, authenticity, and understated elegance. Rich with character, the residence showcases reclaimed 1850s antique heart pine floors throughout, complemented by reclaimed beams, custom bar cabinetry, and tongue-and-groove pine walls and ceilings that create a warmth impossible to replicate. Expansive windows frame panoramic water views from every room, blurring the line between indoors and out and making the surrounding beauty an integral part of daily life. Additionally, the home's coveted western exposure delivers spectacular sunsets. Designed for both intimate living and effortless entertaining, the home offers three beautifully appointed bedrooms, four full baths, a built in daybed, and additional loft space allowing family and guests to gather comfortably. The chef's kitchen is appointed with top-tier appliances, elegant marble countertops, and finishes worthy of the home's exceptional pedigree. For boating enthusiasts, this property is nothing short of extraordinary. Located on the Intracoastal Waterway with approximately seven feet of minimum deep water at the private dock, a newer 12,000-pound DECO boat lift, and immediate access to the surrounding rivers, sounds, and coastal waters place some of the Lowcountry's finest destinations just moments away. Whether heading to a waterfront restaurant, fishing at sunrise, or spending the day exploring secluded beaches and barrier islands, the water becomes an extension of your backyard. Equally rare is what the property doesn't have: no HOA, no restrictive covenants, and the freedom to fully enjoy your waterfront lifestyle. Modern conveniences, including an EV charger, blend seamlessly with the home's enduring craftsmanship. Some homes impress. Others leave a lasting impression. 171 Bay Point Road offers a feeling that simply cannot be recreated--a private sanctuary where timeless materials, extraordinary craftsmanship, unmatched boating access, and spectacular waterfront views come together to create one of the Lowcountry's truly irreplaceable homes.
