Set beneath a magnificent canopy of moss-draped live oaks, 31 Tanglewood Road offers the warmth and character of a timeless Southern home in the gated community of Black Banks Plantation. Inspired by the iconic Planters' Cottages of the Mississippi Delta and selected from the celebrated Southern Living House Plans Collection, this custom home blends classic architecture, quality craftsmanship, and a relaxed coastal lifestyle. A gracious front porch framed by stately Doric columns welcomes you into a thoughtfully designed home featuring rich solid hardwood floors and comfortable living spaces. The main level includes a spacious primary suite, formal dining room, private study, inviting great room, and a well-appointed kitchen that opens to an expansive screened porch-perfect for morning coffee, outdoor dining, or relaxing beneath the live oaks. Upstairs are three guest bedrooms, two full baths, a spacious bonus room, and a secondary staircase, providing flexibility for family, guests, hobbies, or working from home. Classic Southern details, including copper-clad dormers, a carriage-style garage wing, and a distinctive copper cupola crowned with a traditional weathervane, give the home its unmistakable character. As you move through the property, the outdoor spaces continue to unfold. More than 100 mature azaleas provide spectacular seasonal color, while a secluded garden retreat with a waterfall and hammock offers a peaceful place to unwind. The fully fenced backyard provides room for children and pets to play, with space for a future pool if desired, while an irrigation well helps keep the landscape thriving throughout the seasons. A private pickleball court-an amenity rarely found on St. Simons Island-creates another inviting place to gather with family and friends, enjoy an active afternoon, or entertain at home. Although peacefully tucked away within Black Banks Plantation, Sea Island is just a one-mile bike ride away, while St. Simons Island's beaches, championship golf, marinas, boutique shopping, and locally loved restaurants are all just minutes away. 31 Tanglewood Road offers a rare opportunity to enjoy timeless Southern design, beautifully established landscaping, and the relaxed coastal lifestyle that makes St. Simons Island such a special place to call home.
