About this home

Dune Cottage 526 is located on deep water, with an impressive boat dock and stunning views of the ocean, marsh, river, and Little St. Simons Island. Access to this private waterfront location is through the Ocean Forest main gate. One of only four deep water/dockable locations at the end of Sea Island. The cottage was built in 2015 by one of the best architect/builder combos on Sea Island - Jason Varnadoe with Evans/Varnadoe Construction and Josh Younger (architect). The house was built on over 90 engineered pilings and has a very desirable/open floor plan with top of the line finish/fixtures. A ton of natural light with a style and feel that appeals to our current buyers. Currently 4 bedrooms, however the third-floor gym could be converted into a stunning 5th bedroom. https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=cB0ZMVM2kGA
