This brand new, 6,325 square-foot, Moreland Point residence sits on more than an acre of marsh front land and includes a main house with three bedrooms and three full and two half baths, a one-bedroom, one-bath guest cottage, and two carriage houses each with a guest suite above. Expansive live oaks and stands of native pines surround the property, which overlooks the marsh to the rear and parkland to the front. This unique home is convenient to water-based adventure on Lake Bales, the new 9-hole Crossroads golf course, and dining, fitness, pool, and more in Moreland Village.

Reminiscent of a historic, sporting lodge and dressed in nature-inspired hues, this home harmoniously integrates into its surrounding maritime forest. Its exterior is a handsome mix of board and batten with lap siding and Old Savannah brick with a welcoming front porch that is more than 40 feet long.

Eye-catching interiors feature top quality finishes and abundant floor-to-ceiling windows throughout that brighten each space with natural light. The window-lined entry foyer opens directly into the primary living space where living, dining, and kitchen converge with multiple access points to porches, patios, and marsh views. Floor-to-ceiling shiplap joins a natural finish wood beam and paneled ceiling, a brick-lined fireplace, rough-cut, reclaimed antique heart pine flooring, and hand-troweled plastered walls to create a space that is both rustic and refined.

Just beyond, a 438-square foot screened porch offers peaceful marsh views, a vaulted, A-frame ceiling, brick flooring, and a striking fireplace hand-crafted from Apalachicola Bay oyster shells.

An arched passage connects the living room to the kitchen, which is anchored by a natural finish central island with counter seating and marble countertops and topped by a ceiling with complementary exposed beams. A suite of upscale, paneled appliances includes a Wolf six-burner range and a SubZero refrigerator, and the catering kitchen adds a full-size wine chiller, storage, and direct access to the grilling porch. The adjoining dining room features mixed-finish wood paneling and a pair of French doors that open onto the rear porch.

Additional features of the main house include an office with custom built-ins, a wet bar, a full-size laundry room, and mudroom complete with a dog wash and ample space for dog kennels.

The primary suite is quietly tucked away on the main floor and features a vaulted, shiplap ceiling, clerestory windows for added light, a coffee station, and a pair of French doors opening onto a private, rear patio with spa. The primary bath is clad in hand-made tile and includes dual vanities, his and hers water closets, a soaking tub, and a large shower with dual showerheads and bench seating. The second floor includes two ensuite guest rooms, a second laundry room, and a flex room.

Just steps from the main house, the guest cottage features a vaulted ceiling with exposed trusses that makes it feel much larger than its 709 square feet. A brick-lined fireplace, rough-cut flooring, and kitchenette add cozy comfort. Two additional guest suites sit atop a pair of symmetrical two-car carriage houses that are joined by a 600-square foot porte cachere and connected to the main house via breezeway.

A perfect home base for exploring, Moreland is settled where forest, marsh, and waterway meet to create a distinctive, naturally stunning environment. Trails connect the community and lead to convenient amenities and intimate gathering spaces in the forest and along the water’s edge. Walk the live oak trails, kayak, paddleboard or fly-fish in the river, then gather with family and friends for an evening Lowcountry boil under the stars.

Taking cues from the history of the land, the more rural and informal Moreland breaks from traditional interpretations of Lowcountry style. Architecture here blurs the lines between indoors and out and promotes engagement with nature. With a more contemporary vision, home details include exposed rafter tails, lower sloped roofs, larger expanses of glass, cable handrails, steel windows and doors, and numerous porches.
