This private country estate in northern Jasper County sits in a small rural area between Grays and Early Branch in a great SC Lowcountry location, close to many other coastal towns and cities, and has quite a bit to offer. The 3,050 sf two story main home was custom built in 1999 amongst ancient live oaks on the property and features spacious rooms, large porches and sitting areas, a remodeled kitchen with granite tops, and is very energy efficient. The connected two bay, two story garage includes a kitchen, dining area, laundry rooms, and restrooms on the first floor to go along with the open parking bays. The second floor FROG includes an apartment with its own kitchen/dining, bedroom, bathroom, and storage.

The connected two bay, two story garage includes a kitchen, dining area, laundry rooms, and restrooms on the first floor to go along with the open parking bays. The second floor FROG includes an apartment with its own kitchen/dining, bedroom, bathroom, and storage. There is 1,200 sf on the first floor and 570 sf on the second floor, both are plumbed and ready for HVAC with the addition of an indoor unit. There is also a small greenhouse attached on the back of the garage building. The back yard is a thing of beauty, with large mature live oaks providing shade and a wonderful view to relax and watch wildlife. Behind the yard is another garage/shop building, with both overhead garage and walk doors, another kitchen/cooking area, and two open covered bays on each side. There is a large open fenced pasture area out to the southeast side of the shop building, with fenced area leading behind to cover for animals. There is a separate dog kennel building behind the back yard as well. As you walk towards the north side of the property, there is an open garden area, and then a separate camper shed building, with a large middle section with power, for your large RV or boat storage as needed. There are also three additional open bays for covered storage on the sides and back of this structure. Behind the camper shed on the northwest side of the property are two small fish ponds, one with a small dock and the other with a small covered building for ducks or other animals or storage as desired. One pond is stocked with bream and the other has catfish. There is a nice walking/driving area around all sides of the ponds. On the far north side of the property, there is an old mobile home with power, well and septic. This could potentially be renovated for a second homesite, rental and income if desired, or removed and used for something else if needed. There is a total of four septic tanks and three wells currently on the property. This property has the potential to be converted easily into a Bed & Breakfast and/or Equestrian property. It was previously used for horses, and the pasture and fence were designed to give them access all the way across the back side to the pond area. The shop was previously a stable area and could be converted back if desired. The 6 acres is taxed as two separate but contiguous parcels with Jasper County, the north side with mobile home site being 2 acres, and the south side with main home and other outbuildings being 4 acres. This country homesite estate has everything already in place to accommodate all of your family, animals, toys, equipment, and recreational needs! The property is approximately 18 minutes to Ridgeland, 20 minutes to Hampton, 35-40 minutes to Beaufort, 45 minutes to Bluffton, 50 minutes to Savannah, 1 hour 15 minutes to Charleston. Property is currently occupied. Call the listing broker for showing appointments!
