Imagine coming home to your own private, gated entrance with moss draped oaks and driving down a counrty road meandering through a mature pine and hardwood forest.  Welcome to Sweet Bay, a diverse 106 acre recreational paradise with an almost new lowcountry home, board fenced pastures, and large timber tracts traversed by the original plantation road beds.  This is truly a unique opportunity for the discriminating buyer.

The William Poole home has over 3,200 of living space with 3 bedrooms and 4.5 baths.  Upon entering, you walk into the gracious great room with gas fireplace and built-in book cases.  There is a formal dining room, inviting gourmet kitchen with cherry cabinets, granite counters, stainless appliances and an eat-in breakfast area.  The home has handsome custom cypress flooring throughout.  The master suite is downstairs with a generous bath with dual vanities, granite counters, claw foot soaking tub and separate shower.  Upstairs there is an open loft which lives like a comfortable den and media room.  The two upstairs bedrooms are nice-sized with ensuite baths.  Large closets and storage space abound.

This lovely home has an office downstairs, a convenient laundry room and a versatile room above the two car garage at the rear of the house.  This bonus space can be a great work-out room or a fourth bedroom as it has a full bath and large closet.  It is pre-wired for surround sound.  There is a pleasant screened porch on the back which leads to the pool and deck area.  This is a very comfortable country home that can be lived in as formally or informally as you like.

The possibilities for leisure at Sweet Bay are endless...whether you are looking for equestrian, hunting, birding, or farming activities.  There is a 25 acre hardwood bottom preserve that harbors and abundance of wildlife including ducks, deer, and turkey.  The property provides ample room for a large barn, caretaker's cottage, or even another family residence.

This is a rare opportunity as there is very seldom over 100 acres available on Wadmalaw Island. The property is buffered on both sides by other large country tracts which further enhance the private country atmosphere.  Sweet Bay is protected with a conservation easement which preserves the natural and rural character of the land.  All of this privacy forever and you are only 25 minutes to downtown Charleston.

There are 3 porches which run the length of the home for outdoor relaxing and entertaining, and the enclosed room off the back porch is fashioned completely from custom wood and was used as a Hot Tub room. The structural integrity lends itself to six inch thick walls and structural support from steel I-beams.

The natural amenities include mature hardwood trees, including many grand oaks, 20 acres of pasture and fields, one freshwater spring-fed pond and two saltwater ponds. There are two docks (one covered), a boat ramp, and equipment shed with workshop and storage area. 

The character of Salt Creek is further enhanced by a conservation easement which was granted in 2004, and covers all but the 6 acres where the home itself is sited. There are approximately 28.54 acres of high land, and 9.55 acres of lowlands.  The easement preserves the natural and rural character of the land. Salt Creek is the ideal lowcountry waterfront estate and only 35 minutes from Charleston. 

There is currently not a Stable Facility on this property, and one could easily  be added.
