About this home
Welcome to an extraordinary deepwater estate on the Leadenwah, where more than 500 feet of waterfront, 3 private acres, and sweeping marsh views make for a truly exceptional Lowcountry setting. Located within the conservation-minded community of Selkirk Plantation on Wadmalaw Island, this thoughtfully designed property offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and effortless waterfront living, all within 30 minutes of downtown Charleston. Custom built in 2020, recently updated, the property offers approximately 5,000 square feet of living space between the main residence and detached guest accommodations overlooking some of the most pristine beauty the lowcountry has to offer.A detached three-car garage, saltwater mineral pool, expansive outdoor entertaining areas, and private deepwater dock complete this remarkable waterfront retreat.
One of the property's most distinguishing features is its unusually expansive waterfront setting on a high bluff. Unlike traditional pie-shaped waterfront parcels that narrow toward the water, this homesite offers broad frontage along the Leadenwah, creating panoramic views across the marsh toward the North Edisto and the Atlantic from nearly every vantage point. The result is a remarkable connection to the surrounding landscape, openness and privacy, all in a coveted 'X' flood zone.
The approximately 4,250-square-foot main residence was designed to embrace its natural surroundings, with an open-concept floor plan, abundant natural light, and seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor living. Custom architectural details, white oak flooring, and beautifully whitewashed cypress siding bring warmth and character to the interiors. The chef's kitchen features premium appliances, including a new Wolf range, oversized refrigerator and freezer, generous storage, and a new scullery and mudroom, making the home equally suited for everyday living and entertaining.
The first-floor primary suite offers a private retreat with spacious en suite bathroom and his/her custom closets, while two additional upstairs bedrooms share a full bathroom. Expansive glass doors connect the main living spaces to a generous covered porch overlooking the pool and marsh, where cooling breezes off the water make outdoor living a natural extension of the home.
Designed with family and guests in mind, the approximately 750-square-foot detached guest accommodations provide additional privacy and flexibility, featuring two bedrooms, a bunk room, living area, full bathroom and outdoor shower. Together, the main residence and guest quarters create a flexible setting for everyday enjoyment, hosting extended family, and weekend gatherings for memorable stays on the water.
For boating enthusiasts, the property offers an increasingly rare find: direct deepwater access with a short dock. The private dock includes a pier head, floating dock, and new 10,000-pound boat lift. From here, explore the waterways of the ACE Basin, spend an afternoon fishing or crabbing, or simply enjoy the remarkable beauty of the surrounding marshlands.
Outdoor living is equally impressive. A saltwater mineral pool with sun ledge, covered porch, brick patio with firepit, outdoor shower, and generous open lawn provide countless opportunities for relaxation and entertaining. Mature trees and natural landscaping complement the property's peaceful setting, while abundant wildlife, including herons, egrets, deer, wild turkeys, and dolphins are daily reminders of what makes this place so special. From your dining table, porch, or dock, enjoy frequent sightings of dolphins strand-feeding, a phenomenon unique to this part of the Lowcountry.
Selkirk Plantation is one of Wadmalaw Island's most distinctive waterfront communities, encompassing more than 800 acres with fewer than 30 homesites. Protected by a conservation easement overseen by the Lowcountry Land Trust, the community was thoughtfully established to preserve the natural landscape, wildlife habitat, and rural character of the island. Residents enjoy large-acreage homesites, mature trees, expansive marshlands, and access to a community dock and boat ramp.
Despite its remarkably private setting, the property remains conveniently connected to the greater Charleston area. Downtown Charleston is approximately 30 minutes away, with Kiawah Island, area beaches, local farms, farmers markets, and everyday conveniences within easy reach. Nearby Ambrose Farms adds to the charm of island living, offering locally grown and harvested food at the entrance of the community.
With its substantial and expansive waterfront, deepwater access, protected natural surroundings, and thoughtfully designed accommodations, this is a property that offers far more than a beautiful home. It is an opportunity to experience the very best of Lowcountry waterfront living, where days are spent on the water, evenings unfold beneath the oaks, and generations can gather to create lasting memories....
