53 Wallace Pate Drive South is truly an extraordinary property spanning over 5 acres in prestigious guard-gated Debordieu Colony. Providing privacy without isolation, this exceptional homesite is enveloped by live oaks, lush and vibrant landscaping and overlooks a tranquil lake and several islands. Further seclusion is provided on its eastern border by virtue of its proximity to Hobcaw Barony, a 16,000 acre tract which is a coastal research reserve in trust. Lowcountry living at its best, this home with a hand-made brick exterior resonates quality. The GREAT ROOM/DINING AREA of solid cherry open to a kitchen that would be a gourmet chef's delight, a Carolina Room with glass surrounds providing captivating views of nature at its best and a generous first-floor master suite. An impressive staircase leads to two en-suite guest rooms and a pine paneled den. A two-story Guest House with living area/kitchenette is accessed via a pergola and walled garden that includes a gazebo. In addition to providing spacious guest quarters, there is ample garage space for 2 cars; another 2-car garage is on the perimeter of the property. Flagstone porches and walkways provide a smooth transition from inside to outside. Although this private oasis currently provides World Class Living, further development could be considered to create a family compound. Debordieu Colony - a private 2700 acre community offering miles of beach, championship golf on a course designed by Pete and P. B. Dye, professional tennis, two swimming pools with gazebo bar, onsite nature preserve, bike paths and walking trails as well as fine or casual dining at the Club House and/or Beach Club. Fitness Center is under construction. A community boat landing provides access to North Inlet & the Atlantic Ocean. Drive time from the security gate to the 6000' runway at the Georgetown County Airport is approximately 20 minutes. Charleston and Myrtle Beach are approximately an hour's drive south and north respectively.
