With private docks, expansive outdoor spaces, and custom designs, these residences provide the perfect retreat for those seeking elegance and connection to the Lowcountry’s pristine landscape. Below, we highlight four exceptional properties that exemplify what it means to live on the inland waterway.

34 Lupine Road

Under construction in the exclusive Moreland Forest neighborhood, 34 Lupine Road offers five bedrooms, five full baths, and one-half bath on an expansive half-acre lot. A Palmetto Bluff Builder home, the architectural style draws inspiration from modern English country homes, creating a striking first impression with a mix of tabby stucco, dark-toned Boral siding, and bold black-framed windows. The exterior is only the beginning of what makes this home stand out.

As you step inside, large floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the interiors in natural light, while the surrounding maritime forest enhances the sense of peace and seclusion. The home is designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, with a spacious screened porch that opens to a covered pool deck, perfect for year-round entertainment. Whether you’re grilling outdoors or simply relaxing by the pool, the connection to nature is ever-present.

The interior design focuses on a warm and inviting palette of neutral tones, with stained wood, mixed metals, and custom elements. The great room, with its antique oak ceiling beams and a limestone surround fireplace, creates an ideal space for cozy evenings. At the same time, the adjacent chef’s kitchen boasts waterfall countertops, high-end appliances, and an additional butler’s pantry for storage and prep. The main-floor primary suite offers private access to the outdoor spaces, and its spa-like bath features marble finishes, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower. Upstairs, a central family room and ensuite guest rooms provide additional spaces for relaxation and family gatherings.

Crafted by Richard Best Custom Homes, the residence spans 4,979 square feet and exudes grandeur from the moment you arrive.
