DESCRIPTION

Only 400 families get to call Spring Island Home. Even fewer have an opportunity to enjoy an equestrian experience like this one. This unique “family compound” continues the tradition of sporting estates enjoyed by families for centuries. Designed by Gerry Cowart, the home takes full advantage of the surrounding nature preserve, the adjacent riding trails, the meadows and the forests.

Whether sitting on the main house deck enjoying the view of horses, fox squirrels or wild turkeys or being on the studio screen porch by the outdoor fireplace near the koi pond, there are several options to experience nature in quiet reflection or to share special moments with friends and family.

This rare equestrian estate is perfectly sited on 13.26 acres. The estate includes the Main House: a separate studio, guest cottage; 2+ car garage with potting shed; stables, workshop, 3 fenced paddocks, an exercise arena and an equestrian viewing gazebo.

The main residence has an open floor concept with an abundance of charm with low country classic style including hardwood floors, beadboard paneling, high ceilings, exposed beams and floor to ceiling windows. The home features a great room, dining room office, den, two guest rooms, a laundry room and a master suite with private porch. A spectacular cook’s kitchen features skylights, aa walk in pantry, two islands, gas cook top, high end appliances built into expansive custom cabinetry. The screen porch facing the nature preserve or the multi-level deck offer opportunities for relaxation and entertaining.

The guest cottage expresses the same charm as the main house with 2 bedrooms, 2 private bath, and a living room with kitchenette. Front and rear porches offer guests views of nature; sunrises or sunsets.

The studio has many architectural details including beautiful hard wood floors and wall paneling repurposed from and 1840’s vintage black oak barn, vaulted ceilings with exposed heart pine beams from “The Anchorage” which is a 1770’s Beaufort Mansion on the National Historic Registry. The studio includes a private bath, an “Orvis” room and a wrap-around screen porch with fireplace. The studio is adjacent to the koi pond to enjoy the sound for the water while viewing the paddocks and horses.

Your horses will enjoy three fenced paddocks, 3 oversized stalls (12 *12 ft) and a wash station. The workroom can easily be converted into 2 additional stalls or a private apartment. A half bath with washer-dryer connections and two tack rooms add to the convenience. The stables have a separate entrance. The property is bordered on 2 sides by riding trails and on the third side by a nature preserve with trails.
