35 Rhetts Bluff Rd, Kiawah Island, SC 29455

Beneath a canopy of signature live oaks and palmettos, 35 Rhett's Bluff is a modern, spacious, timeless oasis. Designed by the renowned architects at Thomas & Denzinger, this home is unlike any other on the island. Its exterior has been designed to reflect the natural environment. Western red cedar wood, a zinc roof, dramatic angles, and large, hurricane-rated windows create a striking facade. Renowned Charleston landscape designer Sheila Wertimer used generous sweeps of native plants to connect the landscape, home, and setting. Built in 2014 by Sifly Custom Homes, no expense was spared on this spacious home. Natural light filters through Zen-like living spaces. A soothing palette of natural woods, cool grays, and ivory, including white oak and gray-stained hardwood floors, complement the sleek sophistication of the home. Just beyond the striking metal front door, the foyer opens to a soaring metal and glass staircase. Straight ahead, a gorgeous walnut wood slat wall divides the great room and staircase, adding vivid natural textures and colors as it graduates from a wood accent wall on the main level to airy openings above. Guests will linger in front of the gray stone fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows that offer breathtaking views of the Kiawah River. The open dining room will easily seat ten or more. The fully equipped gourmet kitchen features Thermador® and Miele® appliances, granite countertops, sleek cabinetry, and additional seating at the island with stovetop. Step onto the screened-in porch to enjoy sweeping views of the river; it's the perfect location for al fresco dining or morning coffee. Later, enjoy a dip in the tranquil pool or spa and relax on the spacious deck, delightfully private and shaded by native trees. Steps from the deck is a private, deepwater dock with a boat lift, and a floating dock inviting adventure or relaxation, whether your preference of the moment is kayaking, fishing, swimming, or simply watching the sun go down in the beautiful Lowcountry sky. The bedrooms also enjoy a Zen-like atmosphere. The main-floor master suite is a sanctuary with heated floors, serene views of the Kiawah River, and sliding glass doors that access the deck. The master bath features a sleek double vanity, separate floor-to-ceiling glass shower, and bathtub paired with pale marble and beautifully crafted walls with dark wood tones, bringing nature inside. And upstairs, two spacious guest rooms, each with a private bath, provide spectacular views and blissful retreats. A bonus room on the third floor offers access to a rooftop deck with stunning, panoramic river views. Nestled beneath the tree canopy, the two-story guesthouse is perfect for multi-generational living and guests. The en-suite bedroom and bunk room, with the additional full bath, maximize comfort while the sizable living room with eat-in dining area enhances the relaxation and enjoyment of this additional accommodation. The ground floor features two garages great for storing bikes, kayaks, paddle boards and other outdoor recreational items for spending lazy days on the river and enjoying Kiawah's unparalleled natural beauty. Other features of this fully furnished home include a three-stop elevator, two separate garages with a large storage area, and climate-controlled base level. Located just beyond the second gate, residents of the Rhett's Bluff neighborhood enjoy easy access to The River Course and proximity to The Sanctuary Hotel. A Kiawah Island Club Golf Membership is available with this property.
