Description
Welcome to a unique and extraordinary opportunity to own a serene and picturesque property that perfectly blends rustic charm with modern amenities. This captivating small cottage, alongside a fully finished 1800 sq ft Morton building previously used as a recording studio, offers a distinctive and versatile living experience. Nestled on a beautiful piece of land just minutes from downtown Charleston and the pristine beaches of Kiawah Island, this property is a true sanctuary for those seeking a sustainable and harmonious lifestyle.
The cottage itself is a cozy retreat that exudes warmth and charm. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed to create a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. With a well-proportioned layout, the cottage features one spacious bedroom, a full bathroom, and an open-concept living and dining area that is perfect for entertaining or relaxing after a long day.
The kitchen is a chef’s delight, equipped with ample counter space, and cabinetry that provides plenty of storage. Large windows throughout the cottage allow natural light to flood in, creating a bright and airy feel while offering stunning views of the surrounding gardens and natural landscapes.
Adjacent to the cottage is a meticulously finished 1800 sq ft Morton building that offers endless possibilities. Originally designed and used as a professional recording studio, this building is acoustically optimized and soundproofed, making it an ideal space for musicians, podcasters, or anyone in the creative arts. However, the versatility of this space means it can easily be adapted for various uses such as a home office, workshop, yoga studio, or even additional living quarters.
The Morton building boasts high ceilings, polished concrete floors, and large windows that ensure a bright and welcoming environment.
The property is a haven for gardening enthusiasts and those passionate about sustainable living. The meticulously maintained organic gardens are a testament to sustainable agriculture, featuring no-till gardening practices that preserve and enhance the health of the soil. The gardens are teeming with a rich biodiversity of plants, earthworms, beneficial pollinators, and microorganisms, all contributing to nutrient-dense soil and vibrant plant life.
Throughout the year, the gardens yield an impressive variety of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers. Imagine stepping outside your door to harvest fresh, organic produce for your meals. From juicy tomatoes and crisp lettuce to fragrant herbs and colorful blooms, the gardens offer an abundance of healthy and delicious options.
In addition to the traditional gardens, the property features a thriving no-till sustainable food forest. This permaculture-inspired design mimics natural ecosystems to create a self-sustaining and resilient environment. The food forest includes a diverse range of edible plants, fruit trees, and perennial vegetables that provide food year-round with minimal maintenance.
This innovative approach to gardening not only enhances food security but also fosters a balanced and healthy ecosystem. Beneficial insects, birds, and other wildlife are naturally attracted to the area, creating a harmonious and vibrant landscape that supports both human and environmental health.
Adding to the property's charm is a serene pond that serves as a focal point for relaxation and reflection. Surrounded by lush greenery and mature trees, the pond is a tranquil oasis that invites you to unwind and connect with nature. Whether you enjoy fishing, birdwatching, or simply sitting by the water’s edge, the pond offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
The pond also plays a crucial role in the property's ecosystem, providing habitat for a variety of aquatic plants and wildlife. It is an integral part of the sustainable design, supporting water conservation and enhancing the overall biodiversity of the land.
Despite its serene and secluded feel, this property is conveniently located just minutes from downtown Charleston and the beautiful beaches of Kiawah Island. Enjoy the best of both worlds with easy access to the vibrant cultural scene, shopping, dining, and entertainment options that Charleston has to offer, as well as the pristine natural beauty and recreational opportunities available on Kiawah Island.
