The Sanctuary at Nathan Pope Road | A Private 8-Acre waterfront CompoundDiscover the pinnacle of Lowcountry living in this expertly reimagined waterfront estate, where eight acres of pristine St. Helena Island landscape meet refined architectural updates. Positioned just 20 minutes from the historic charm of Downtown Beaufort, this dual-residence compound offers a rare intersection of modern luxury and self-sufficient ''homestead'' elegance. The primary residence, spanning nearly 3,800 square feet, has been transformed with a full kitchen overhaul, refinished Australian Cypress hardwoods, and a sophisticated interior/exterior palette. Soaring ceilings and light-filled galleries lead to expansive screened porches and newly stained decks, offering panoramic, east-facing views of the Harbor River and the ACE Basin's protected marshlands. Beyond the main home lies a newly enhanced Carriage House, featuring a full guest apartment with a refined layout for ultimate privacy ideal for multi-generational living or a premier short-term rental. The estate's infrastructure is as impressive as its aesthetics, boasting new architectural roofs, high-efficiency HVAC systems, Hardi-Plank siding, and a whole-home generator for uninterrupted comfort. The grounds are a masterclass in coastal land stewardship. Behind a new solar-powered gate, the acreage has been meticulously cleared to reveal a mature fruit orchard of olive, citrus, and loquat trees, complemented by a 1,600 sq. ft. custom garden enclosure and an extended poultry house. Whether launching kayaks from your private shoreline, hosting sunset oyster roasts under the custom pergola, or enjoying the local wildlife, this property is a statement of privacy and prestige. Complete with fiber-optic connectivity and a high-capacity filtration well system, this is more than a home it is a turnkey legacy for the discerning collector of Lowcountry real estate.
