Life іs better οn thе watеr. Ѕеt high οn а gentle bluff beneath grand livе oаks and cedar trees draped in Spanish moss, this recently surveyed 2.45-acre Okatie River retreat offers about 181 feet of river frontage and wide-open views across preserved marsh to the distant tree line. Refreshed landscape and a broad lawn roll right down to the water, where a long private dock with a gated walkway carries you out over the marsh to the river, with deep-water access even at low tide. Launch the boat, drop a crab pot, or simply sit under the oaks and watch the sun set over the marsh. Freshly renovated in 2026, the 1948 cottage pairs Lowcountry character with clean, modern finishes. French doors open from the lawn into a sunlit great room lined with a wall of water-facing windows and ceiling fans, the kind of space made for morning coffee, long dinners with friends, and watching the tide roll in. The all-new kitchen features new custom cabinets, dark countertops, stainless appliances and a generous peninsula with bar seating that keeps the cook part of the conversation. New wood-look flooring, fresh paint and new light fixtures carry through the entire home. The bedroom offers a warm wood-paneled ceiling for a true river-cabin feel, and the updated bath features classic wainscoting. A sunny dining area off the kitchen, a metal roof, and a detached covered carport for the truck, tractor and boat gear round it out. Two ways to enjoy it: Make it your weekend river cottage, a move-in-ready escape for fishing, boating and slow Lowcountry evenings. Or live here comfortably while you build your dream home on 2.45 high-ground acres with ample room beyond the river setback. The head start is already done: plans have been drawn for an 80x50 heated and cooled shop/garage with a bathroom and two 14-foot roll-up doors, one at each end, so boaters can pull straight through. The septic permit is in hand. Private and peaceful, yet close to everything, the property sits about 15 miles from Old Town Bluffton and historic Beaufort, about 25 miles from the beaches of Hilton Head Island, and an easy drive to Savannah. Parcels like this rarely come to market on the Okatie. Sold as-is and unfurnished. Come see the water for yourself.
