McCLELLANVILLE - Discover an extraordinary seaside country estate in the exclusive waterfront community of Tibwin Farms, where miles of breathtaking, uninterrupted vistas stretch across the protected beauty of the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge. From most every room in the home--and from the inviting screened porch--you'll enjoy ever-changing panoramic views that include expansive salt marshes, tidal creeks, distant barrier islands, and the iconic Cape Romain Lighthouse glowing on the horizon just two miles away. This charming three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath cottage captures the very essence of refined Lowcountry living.Set on an impressive 22 serene acres, the property is surrounded by majestic moss-draped live oaks, shimmering salt ponds, palmettos, and lush green lawns. Built by one of the area's premier restoration builders as his personal residence, the home reflects exceptional craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and timeless coastal elegance. A full-length Southern-style front porch welcomes you with peaceful pond views and offers a classic spot to relax with family and friends, sweet tea in hand. Inside, the front foyer opens to rich heart-pine floors that flow throughout the home, setting a warm, inviting tone. Just off the hall is a convenient powder room. The cozy family room, anchored by a masonry wood-burning fireplace, is perfectly positioned to take in the surrounding landscape and water views. Adjacent, the spacious screened porch becomes a favorite gathering place, ideal for morning coffee as the sun rises over the marsh or evening conversations as shrimp boats return at dusk. The well-appointed galley kitchen is a chef's delight, featuring custom cypress cabinetry, generous counter space, and stainless steel appliances. A wide hallway leads to a large laundry room with ample workspace, and beyond, a sun-filled primary suite offering sweeping views, generous proportions, and a beautifully appointed private bath, an ideal retreat at day's end.
Upstairs, two additional spacious bedrooms, a central full bath, and a private study provide comfortable accommodations for guests or family, all thoughtfully designed to capture natural light and tranquil scenery.
The outdoor living experience is equally exceptional. Wander shaded paths beneath centuries-old live oaks, enjoy nature walks through your own private acreage, or gather in the ground-level sitting area, perfect for oyster roasts, Lowcountry boils, and evenings under the stars. A potting area with running water and work surfaces complements the vegetable garden, grape arbor, and assorted fruit trees, offering the pleasures of a true coastal homestead. Completing this remarkable estate is a custom barn with ample space for boats, equipment, and hobbies, featuring water and power, plus a dedicated workshop area.
If you've been searching for a rare Lowcountry retreat offering privacy, protected views, iconic coastal scenery, and unmatched natural beauty, without sacrificing proximity to the historic village of McClellanville, this property stands alone.
