This newly constructed coastal residence offers timeless Lowcountry architecture and refined craftsmanship within one of the region’s most sought-after waterfront communities, where winding tidal creeks, maritime forest, and miles of nature trails shape everyday life along the river. Thoughtfully elevated and filled with natural light, the home welcomes you into a grand great room framed by 10-foot ceilings, custom built-ins, and a beautifully crafted fireplace. Wide-plank white oak floors and classic craftsman trim run throughout the home, creating a warm and sophisticated backdrop for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. Expansive windows invite the surrounding landscape indoors, offering peaceful views of tidal creeks and the maritime forest canopy beyond. At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen blends beauty with functionality. Paneled Thermador appliances, shaker cabinetry, warm brass fixtures, and generous prep space create a refined yet welcoming setting for gatherings with family and friends. Whether preparing a quiet meal at home or entertaining after a day spent on the water, the kitchen flows seamlessly into the main living spaces and nearby outdoor porches. Designed to embrace Charleston’s indoor–outdoor lifestyle, wraparound porches extend the living experience beyond the walls of the home. Here, Lowcountry breezes drift through the oaks as views stretch toward winding waterways and protected natural landscapes. These outdoor spaces invite morning coffee at sunrise, long afternoons in the shade, and evenings spent listening to the quiet rhythm of nature along the river. A private guest suite on the main level provides comfort and privacy for visitors, complete with an en suite bath and direct access to the screened porch. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with its own private balcony overlooking the surrounding creeks and maritime forest. Two additional en suite bedrooms, each with walk-in closets, provide generous accommodations for family and guests, while a centrally located laundry room adds everyday convenience. An elevator connects each level of the home—from the drive-under garage with workshop and storage space to the main living areas and upper-level bedrooms—enhancing accessibility and long-term livability. Life at Kiawah River extends far beyond the home itself. Set within 2,000 acres of preserved maritime forest, tidal creeks, and open pastures, the community celebrates Charleston’s coastal heritage and outdoor lifestyle. Residents enjoy a riverfront swim and fitness facility at the Spring House, miles of scenic nature trails, boating and fishing along the Kiawah River, and the beloved Goatery farmstead. Just moments away, The Dunlin, Auberge Collection, offers waterfront dining, spa experiences, and gathering spaces overlooking the river. Throughout the year, a vibrant calendar of community events—from farm dinners to seasonal celebrations—brings neighbors together in a setting where nature, hospitality, and craftsmanship are deeply intertwined. Discover a rare opportunity to experience luxury coastal living on Johns Island, where timeless design, natural beauty, and a welcoming community come together along the river.

A cool dip under the Lowcountry sun
A quiet sunset along the pier

Just beyond the front door, nature trails begin
