Property Description

Pack a bag, ferry over, hop on a golf cart, and follow the sandy dirt roads shaded by moss draped live oaks to the north end of Daufuskie's Historic District - where almost a full acre of wooded privacy boasts one of the island's most soulful little sanctuaries. Built in 2015 and crafted by its original owners to replicate a beloved church from their hometown, you simply must see to appreciate the level of thoughtful detail throughout this 1BR/1BA shotgun style cottage. Heart pine floors and vaulted ceilings throughout the interior plus huge windows, brickwork, wrought iron accents, and a metal roof come together to create an aesthetic that exudes classic southern charm. An upstairs loft adds additional flexible sleeping, living, working and/or storage space, while brand new updates include a reconfiguration of the floor plan to create an improved flow from the rear entry through the mudroom to the bathroom, kitchen and living room in the front, plus a fresh interior paint job. Outside, a detached, enclosed garage and a private outdoor shower add everyday functionality for island life. The rural residential zoning, freedom from HOA restrictions and generous lot size leaves room to dream big - build a workshop, an accessory dwelling, or consider the existing stamped, engineered architectural plans for a 3bed/3bath estate, drawn by the seller for an attached addition worthy of gracing a luxury Lowcountry home and lifestyle magazine - negotiable with the sale. Residents of Daufuskie's Historical District are welcome to have motor vehicles, boats on trailers, gardens, chickens, workshops, home based businesses and/or short term rentals as permitted in accordance with county codes. Enjoy the best of both worlds that the island has to offer with a membership to Haig Point - a private, gated, golf club community featuring world class amenities including 24/7 ferry service, valet, concierge, fine dining, fitness, tennis, equestrian center, socials, special events, reciprocity to other club communities and so much more. As the southernmost inhabited sea island in the state of South Carolina, situated just a short boat run away from Hilton Head, Palmetto Bluff and Savannah, with some of the best beaches on the entire east coast, welcome to 170 Old Haig Point Rd on Daufuskie Island, where moss-draped oaks mix with salty breezes and time seems to move slower, this southern sanctuary is waiting for it's next chapter to be written.
