This $4.95M riverfront SC home sits on 8+ acres and is a Lowcountry dream. Take a look

A Lowcountry dream is awaiting the potential new owners of 95 Gascoigne Bluff Road.

The residence lies at the end of Gascoigne Bluff Road and is perfect for any young family or entertaining enthusiast who has an appreciation for horticulture and the region’s unique natural surroundings and neighboring wildlife.

The $4.95 million property gives its residents a feeling of complete privacy and solitude while submerging its guests in the epitome of what it means to live in the Lowcountry.

This family compound lies on 8.23 acres, which can be a scarce find for the area. Away from the wandering eye of neighbors, this property has several outdoor attractions that appeal to many as you are surrounded by marsh and river views on three sides.

The 4,824 square foot home is located off of May River, so the more private waterway lacks the prominence of boaters passing by and leaves room for the tranquil views and quieter scenery. Palmetto Bluff is positioned across the marsh and a local sandbar is nearby.

Sunrise, sunset and moon views are perfectly positioned for optimal viewing from the property’s dock/covered pier, which is complete with a working sink, space for entertainment and boat lift. These amenities are great for yourself or guests to enjoy boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, crabbing, shrimping, fishing, entertaining or relaxing.

Accompanying the private dock behind the residence is an entertainer’s outdoor dream. As you enter the back either from the path on the side of the property or through the home, guests are met with an outdoor entertaining space designed for the Lowcountry.

In addition to the pool, the ‘backyard’ is home to three separate fire pit spaces, professionally lit live oak trees, an outdoor cabana complete with a fireplace and bar as well as a space dedicated to oyster roasts with roasting area and oyster tables.

Fundraisers, oyster roasts and even 12 different weddings have taken place in the back of the property, according to the home’s seller and original owner Jim Schneider.

In the front, the private drive leads you up to the home with a garden-like area that contains grapefruit, orange and lemon trees. A large outdoor shed supplies ample space for yard tools for land maintenance or anything you wish to store.

Once you’ve passed through the threshold into the homes interior, you are met with an incredibly unique atmosphere for the region.

The home was designed, built and is now being sold by the original owners for their family in 1994, so the residence was uniquely crafted rather than a commercial design.

Schneider, the original owner of the home, detailed stories of entertaining, children playing and bogging in the marsh, discovery, adventures held and memories made at the residence. The home was described as a sort of personal paradise and safe haven for his family through the numerous stories shared of memory’s past. He detailed a hope that the new owners will share the same wonder and adventures that his family had through all those years on the property.

The interior’s collaboration of rich heart pine, brick and tile ties the home together as guests make their way from room to room. The general theme of the home remains steady, but each room offers something a little different.

Shelved archways, library shelving in the dining room, a butler’s pantry across from the main, vastly sized pantry that contains an additional refrigerator, two staircases, reading nooks and more makes this home unique, but the two interior rooms that stand out the most are the kitchen and living areas.

The arched brick and tile kitchen is idiosyncratic to the area and marks an entertainer’s space.

Next, a living space near one of the two staircases leading to the upper level is another conversation piece.

This room contains surround sound, beams, a massive fireplace with mantel crafted from a redwood tree, wet bar and extensive custom gun cabinetry.

This four bedroom and five bathroom home also features spacious walk-in closets, jetted tub, and a unique upper level.

The master and another bedroom remain on the first floor with the other bedrooms located upstairs.

With two different staircases allowing for easy-access to the upstairs area, these rooms have large windows that provide optimal viewing for the backyard area and marsh scenery. In addition, this area is complete with reading nooks and would be great to use for extra bedrooms, office, or hobby space.

In addition to the home and its own private acreage, the residents of Gascoigne Bluff Road have a supplementary 280 acres of shared, communal property. In this space residents keep a pasture and shared fields.

The residence is listed through The Ussery Group of Charter One Realty by listing agent Johnny Ussery.
