1259 S Barksdale Rd, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464

What was once part of Woodlawn Plantation and a public fishing camp with boat launch has been turned into one of the most impressive estates Mount Pleasant has ever seen. You truly can have it all with this one-of-a-kind custom home set on deep-water with almost 1.7 acres on Hobcaw Creek, private boat ramp & separate guest quarters with almost 600' of water frontage. This home is a boater and entertainers dream home with ample indoor and outdoor space consisting of three separate structures, open flowing living spaces and water views from almost every room in the home. Pulling into the driveway you will feel like you've crossed over to your own private island and instantly dream of sitting in the front porch rockers on your Southern front porch. Entering the foyer of the...main home, you're greeted with vaulted cypress ceilings, exquisite trim & shiplap details and newly refinished heart pine floors which carry throughout the entire home and guest quarters. The main home was taken down to the studs in 2009 and has gone through other recent renovations. Most of the 4,534 square feet of the main home is on the first floor with one whole wing of the home consisting of two spacious guest bedrooms, two full baths, a home office, and laundry room. The striking formal dining room can fit a twelve-person table, is steps away from the butler's pantry and flows perfectly into the living room and kitchen. All of the hardwood floors, fireplace mantels, and beams in this home were reclaimed from a denim mill in Whitmire, South Carolina from the 18th Century. Soaring ceilings and beams are found throughout the living room, kitchen, master bedroom, and foyer. The chef's kitchen features a one of a kind teak island, six-burner gas cooktop, built-in microwave & convection oven, ample storage, a wet bar, pantry and accordian doors opening almost the entire wall of the kitchen to the screened in porch. It will be a pleasure to cook while watching the local fishermen boat by. The layout was perfected by the current owners who redesigned this floor plan to allow for optimal entertaining for events such as weddings, large family gatherings and galas hosting several hundred people at one time. Off the kitchen you'll find a hallway leading to the private master suite boasting vaulted ceilings, two oversized walk-in closets and a newly renovated master bath featuring a spa-like shower, a free-standing tub and new marble vanity. You can enter the screen porch from the hallway to the master, through the kitchen and also off the living room. Once you step onto the screen porch, your eyes can travel as far left as it can far right with no neighbors in sight. Just off the screened-in porch you'll find your 2,116 gallon splash pool that can also be heated, two additional sitting areas, and a detached shed where the current owners keep everything necessary for hosting: from oyster roasts to weddings. Follow the winding oyster shell tabby sidewalk down to the waterfront fire pit or walk out to your own private short dock featuring a boat lift, a separate jet dock, covered pier head, and private boat ramp. The boat lift is a Safe Haven Harbor 2 Floating Boat Lift Air Assist with 6,000 lbs. capacity. Locals know this section of the creek is easily some of the best fishing one can find in the area and you'll enjoy almost 4' of clearance at low tide. The owners recently added a 12x12 top cap to the sea wall, and installed additional landscaping and hardscape. Back inside the home, upstairs you'll find two spacious bedrooms each with charming window seats, one full bathroom and ample attic storage. The detached two car garage was added in 2009 and features an additional 565 square feet of living space above complete with a full bath, mini split system and water views. On the backside you'll find an additional storage area and paver patio connecting the front walkway to the backyard. Other recent updates include three new heat pumps for the main home, new skylights on the back porch, new privacy fence along the left side property line, painted exterior of home, refinished the hardwood floors, new garage doors, new LiftMaster garage door openers, new Rinnai hot water heater, new tabby and concrete sidewalks, patios & fire pit areas. Additional new exterior features include lighting in the sidewalk, a paver/concrete drive next to the garage for additional parking, new landscaping, and new irrigation and wireless controls. This home is part of a voluntary civic association. This is the first opportunity for new owners of this truly exceptional property. Schedule your private showing today.
