228 Spring Island Dr, Okatie, SC 29909

Overlooking beautiful Otter Pond and a broad expanse of the Colleton River, this extraordinary family compound combines breathtaking views with remarkable design and construction quality. Designed by Historical Concepts, the proportions of rooms, porches and out buildings all are scaled to create comfortable and remarkably inviting spaces. From the entry to the home, the view is through a gallery to the river beyond. On opposite sides of the gallery are a beautiful wood paneled living room and a dining room, both with fireplaces. Also on the main floor are a well appointed guest bedroom with a river view and at the other end of the home, the kitchen and related spaces. Adjoining the kitchen are a breakfast area with a fireplace and nearby, a powder room, a pantry and the laundry. A separate entrance from this area leads to the garage building. The second floor is devoted entirely to the master suite. From its elevated position, there is a panoramic view and outside the master bedroom is a large roof deck. In addition to a luxurious bath, closet and storage space are abundant and nearby is a small reading room with a fireplace. On both the entry and view sides of the home there are large porches. The view side porch spans the entire width of the home and provides wonderful space for entertaining. Adding to the fun of this compound are the out buildings. The garage building contains a billiards room with built-in bar and upstairs, an office. Both are wood paneled and both have full baths which would permit them to be used as bedrooms. The remaining building in the compound is a freestanding guest cottage complete with living room with a brick fireplace, kitchen/dining area, two bedrooms and a shared bath. From its location on the island and breathtaking views to its remarkable design and execution, it is a home that creates the perfect setting for family and friends to enjoy life in a very special place.
