5.23 acres of classic coastal beauty on the Sapelo River. Perched on a 20+ foot bluff, this property offers deep water access (approximately 26 feet at low tide)—perfect for a future private dock. Towering century-old live oaks frame the homesite and provide shade, privacy, and timeless Lowcountry charm. The property includes a livable 2-bedroom, 2-bath cottage overlooking the river. While comfortable as it sits, a few cosmetic updates could transform it into a stunning waterfront getaway or full-time residence. The 5.23-acre tract has already been subdivided into multiple lots, offering flexibility for a family compound, future homesites, or investment potential. For those seeking even more riverfront acreage, the adjacent 13.51-acre parcel is also available for purchase and includes a prebuilt dock.
