5 Bedrooms Single Family Detached

Deep water at your dock. In Heritage Plantation in Pawleys Island, this five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath Lowcountry home has 124 feet along the Waccamaw River and Intracoastal Waterway. The 315-foot walkway from the yard leads across the old ricefields to a covered dock house and drive-on floating dock, with approximately 20 feet of water off the dock in this area and about a four-foot tidal swing. The dock can accommodate approximately a 65-foot boat. And with the back of the property facing west across the Waccamaw, sunset here isn’t an occasional bonus. It’s part of every clear evening on the river. The house is equal to the setting. With 6,174 heated square feet on three levels, all served by an elevator, the great room sits at the center of the main level, with the kitchen and dining spaces extending to one side. Six octagonal rooms, custom millwork, built-ins and detailed ceilings give the house much of its architectural character. The kitchen pairs a Thermador professional range with a single-slab granite backsplash, Sub-Zero refrigeration, cabinetry to the ceiling, a main sink and a prep sink in the island. It opens to a breakfast room wrapped in views of the live oaks and the Waterway. A back kitchen and home management center add pantry storage and main-level laundry. The owners’ wing spans the home from front to back, beginning with the dedicated home office on the golf-course side and ending on the river side with the primary suite. The bath has a freestanding soaking tub and oversized glass-enclosed shower, while the adjoining walk-in closet is closer to a dressing room, with extensive built-in storage, shoe storage and a large center island. French doors open to a private screened porch, where the home’s geometry frames views across the pool to the Waterway. Upstairs, two guest suites each have a private bath, with one facing the Waterway and the other looking toward the golf course and pond. At pool level are two additional bedrooms and two full baths, along with a rec room and wet bar that open directly to the covered loggia and pool, creating another living and entertaining area right where the outdoor spaces begin. Outside, the covered brick loggia extends the pool-level living space, opening to a saltwater pool and broad brick terrace. A pergola defines the outdoor kitchen and fireplace area, while a separate fire pit creates another place to gather closer to the river. The landscaping has been thoughtfully layered around these spaces, complementing rather than competing with the natural grasses, cattails, wildflowers and cypress trees of the old ricefields beyond. The bulkheaded lot meets that natural landscape, with the walkway continuing across the ricefields to the covered dock house and floating dock on the Waccamaw. Even the garage was designed around how this house is lived in. Climate-controlled and with room for four or more vehicles, it has extensive built-in cabinetry for everything from golf and pool gear to what you need for a day on the boat, along with a hand-painted stamped concrete floor. A separate climate-controlled workshop adds another dedicated space. The home also has a whole-house generator and a 2022 roof. And this isn’t simply a river house. It’s part of Heritage Plantation, an active gated Pawleys Island community where it’s easy to find your place. That might mean sunset happy hours at the marina, pickleball leagues, a standing golf game or simply getting out and enjoying the people around you. Community amenities include the deep-water marina and boat ramp, clubhouse and fitness center, pool, Har-Tru tennis courts, pickleball courts and walking trails. The Heritage Club golf course is right here in the community, with membership optional. Here, you don’t have to choose between an active community and life on the water. You get both.
