The Setting

248 SPRING ISLAND DRIVE

Set along the edge of Spring Island, where open marsh meets the Colleton River, 248 Spring Island Drive offers refined Lowcountry living on 2.68 private acres, with long views stretching toward Port Royal and Parris Island. The 5,629-squarefoot residence, with five bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths, is thoughtfully designed to embrace an easy, indoor-outdoor way of life shaped by marsh, river, and light.

River views are intentionally drawn through the center of the home, creating a daily connection to the landscape. The great room, with reclaimed wood floors and a soapstone fireplace, is a welcoming gathering space where walls of windows frame the marsh and water beyond. From here, living flows seamlessly to a four-season screened porch—an ideal setting for morning coffee, river breezes, and quiet evenings as the light shifts across the marsh.

Designed for both relaxed living and gracious entertaining, the dining room transitions naturally into an open den and kitchen. The kitchen balances warmth and function, featuring leathered granite countertops, a wood-topped center island with an induction cooktop, custom cabinetry, a wet bar, and a concealed, temperature-controlled wine cellar. A discreet back kitchen and laundry area open to a grilling patio, allowing gatherings to extend easily outdoors.

A light-filled artist’s studio on the main level provides flexible space for creative work, a home office, or private retreat. With its own HVAC system and French doors opening to gardens and river views, this space reflects the home’s connection to nature and the unhurried Spring Island lifestyle. This wing also provides access to the temperature-controlled two-car garage with golf-cart bay.

Upstairs, guest accommodations are arranged for comfort and privacy, including ensuite bedrooms—one with a private balcony overlooking the water—and a kitchenette serving the level. An additional guest bedroom and bunk room, accessed via the home’s turret staircase, make hosting family and friends both easy and inviting.

Privately positioned to capture sunrise over the river, the primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with dual walk-in closets, a spa-inspired bath, and a private office overlooking the front gardens—an ideal place to begin and end the day.

Bathed in natural light, the great room unfolds beneath soaring ceilings and graceful architectural details that feel timeless rather than formal. A central walkway leads from the front door through the space to the screened porch beyond, with one seating area anchored around the soapstone fireplace and a second offering a quieter place to relax.

GREAT ROOM

Wide-plank hardwood floors, classic columns, and layered interiors create a refined Lowcountry sensibility with an unhurried, coastal rhythm, while expansive glass doors frame serene views of the surrounding landscape. The result is a room equally suited to relaxed evenings with friends and unhurried moments at home — polished, welcoming, and rooted in Southern character.

THE SCREENED

The outdoor living spaces are a natural extension of the home, thoughtfully designed to embrace the surrounding marsh and coastal landscape. The expansive screened porch is arranged with multiple seating and dining areas, equally suited to quiet mornings and evenings spent entertaining as coastal breezes drift through.

THE SCREENED PORCH

Classic architectural details, soft coastal hues, and ceiling fans create an atmosphere that feels both polished and relaxed. With panoramic views and seamless indoor-outdoor flow, the porch captures the essence of refined Lowcountry living.

The heart of the home is a beautifully appointed kitchen where classic white cabinetry, leathered granite countertops, rich wood accents, and a generous island create a space that is both elegant and highly functional. A large window draws the outdoors inside, while a second outlook extends across the living and dining areas toward the marsh beyond, filling the space with natural light and long, tranquil views.

A temperature-controlled, 500-bottle wine cellar tucked behind an arched door adds a striking yet understated finishing touch. Together with thoughtful sightlines and carefully selected materials, it reflects a balance of form and function that defines true Lowcountry living — where beauty and everyday ease exist in equal measure.

LIVING AREA & DINING

The den and dining areas are designed to gather, unwind, and entertain with effortless grace. Warm hardwood floors, custom built-ins, and layered lighting create a sense of comfort while maintaining a refined, timeless aesthetic. Walls of windows frame sweeping Lowcountry views, drawing the landscape inward and filling the spaces with soft, natural light.

LIVING AREA & DINING

A door from the dining area opens directly to the screened porch, extending the living space outdoors and reinforcing the home’s easy indoor-outdoor flow. From relaxed mornings to memorable dinners overlooking the marsh, these rooms feel thoughtfully composed, polished, and undeniably welcoming...

The primary suite is a serene retreat, defined by generous proportions, soft natural light, and sweeping views of the marsh and river beyond. A small table with two swivel rockers sits in front of the windows, offering a peaceful spot to enjoy morning coffee or quiet reflection.

PRIMARY

The spa-inspired bath provides understated luxury with a soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, and dual vanities alongside separate his-and-hers toilet areas, while spacious his-and-hers walk-in closets offer order and ease. A large office overlooking the front gardens extends the suite’s sense of calm and flexibility, creating a private sanctuary where every element is thoughtfully composed to reflect refined Lowcountry living.

At the top of the turret staircase, a private guest suite unfolds as a gracious retreat designed for comfort, flexibility, and connection to the landscape. A light-filled walkway links the bedrooms while overlooking the great room below and extending sightlines outward to the marsh and river beyond, lending the suite a sense of openness and quiet drama. Thoughtful proportions and classic details ensure the spaces feel welcoming yet refined, ideal for hosting family or friends for extended stays.

GUEST SUITES

Each bedroom enjoys its own peaceful outlook over the marsh and river, bringing soft natural light and everchanging views into the rooms. One bedroom features a queen bed framed by custom bookcases, while the second is arranged with bunk beds and a dedicated play area, perfect for younger guests. A shared bath just off the walkway serves both rooms with ease, completing a guest suite that feels private, polished, and unmistakably Lowcountry in character.

GUEST SUITES

A second guest suite area offers a gracious sense of privacy while maintaining the relaxed elegance that defines the home. Filled with natural light and thoughtful architectural details, the suites are designed as comfortable retreats, ideal for extended stays with family or friends. Soft coastal palettes, generous proportions, and serene views create spaces that feel welcoming, calm, and quietly refined.

GUEST SUITES

The two bedrooms are separated by the staircase and a charming morning kitchen, providing both independence and ease. One bedroom features a queen bed and opens to a private balcony, while the second offers a pair of queen beds, well suited for visiting couples or family members. Each bedroom enjoys its own ensuite bath, ensuring comfort and privacy, while the adjoining kitchenette adds a thoughtful layer of convenience that allows guests to settle in and feel completely at home.

Tucked along the hallway leading to the guest suites, these thoughtfully designed spaces support daily living with ease and intention, blending function with the home’s refined Lowcountry character. A discreet powder room, back kitchen, and laundry area are seamlessly integrated, allowing the main living spaces to remain effortlessly gracious while the practical rhythms of the home unfold quietly in the background.

QUIETLY ESSENTIAL SPACES

An expansive artist’s studio brings a creative and contemplative element to this wing. Bathed in natural light and opening through French doors to a private patio overlooking the marsh and river, the space offers a rare connection to the landscape. Whether used as a studio, private office, or peaceful retreat, it reflects the home’s balance of beauty and utility—where even the most essential spaces are shaped by light, views, and a deep sense of place.

Wrapped in mature oaks and palms, the home’s front elevation presents a quiet confidence, defined by classic Lowcountry architecture and a sense of ease that feels both timeless and welcoming. A winding, brick-edged walkway moves through layered landscaping toward the front entry, creating a graceful approach that unfolds gradually and sets the tone for what lies within. Complementary architectural elements, including the garage, echo the character and scale of the main residence, blending function with architectural harmony.

At the rear, the property opens fully to the rhythms of the marsh and river, where outdoor living unfolds with effortless elegance. A spacious patio anchors the home to the landscape, offering a setting for al fresco dining, relaxed gatherings, and long views across the water. A fire pit near the river creates a natural gathering spot under the stars, while steps lead gently down to launch kayaks into the tidal creeks. Raised garden beds add a personal touch, bringing flowers and herbs into daily life and reinforcing the home’s deep connection to its Lowcountry setting.

Lifestyle & Amenities

SPRING ISLAND

Even among the Lowcountry’s many private communities—long celebrated for their commitment to preserving natural beauty—Spring Island stands apart. Envisioned from the outset as a place where landscape and lifestyle are inseparable, the community unfolds across 3,000 acres of marsh, maritime forest, and winding waterways, inviting residents to slow down, step outside, and engage deeply with their surroundings.

Life at Spring Island is shaped by choice and balance. A morning might begin with a round at Old Tabby Links, time at the Equestrian Center, or a quiet paddle along the tidal creeks. Afternoons lend themselves to sporting clays, tennis, pickleball, croquet, or a swim and fitness class at the Sports Center, where wellness is supported through personal training, physical therapy, and massage. Creativity thrives at the Art Barn with a robust arts program, while the community garden offers a shared connection to the land. Evenings are often spent gathering with neighbors at one of two restaurants—the River House or the Golf House—where the day naturally winds down. Throughout it all, there is a rare sense of ease and belonging, a community rooted as much in friendship as in the extraordinary natural world that surrounds it.
