Okatie River Home for Sale in Oldfield | Lowcountry Waterfront Estate
Set along the Okatie River in Oldfield, one of the Lowcountry’s distinctive private residential communities, this custom riverfront home blends timeless Lowcountry architecture, panoramic marsh views, exceptional craftsmanship, and resort-style outdoor living.
Designed by renowned architect Gerry Cowart and built by Yestermorrow, the residence was thoughtfully positioned beneath sprawling live oaks to capture sweeping views of the Okatie River and surrounding marsh from nearly every angle. Savannah brick accents, gas lanterns, natural materials, and classic architectural details give the home an authentic sense of place rooted in the character of the South Carolina Lowcountry.
Inside, reclaimed hardwood floors, extensive millwork, custom built-ins, and carefully considered architectural details reflect exceptional craftsmanship throughout. The main living room is centered around a fireplace and flows into the dining area, featuring a custom built-in, before opening to an enclosed porch overlooking the river and marsh.
The adjoining chef’s kitchen is equipped with Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Bosch appliances, a large center island, walk-in pantry, and dedicated coffee station. Just beyond the kitchen, a comfortable keeping room with fireplace connects to a screened porch and grilling area, creating an inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. A spacious laundry room and mudroom are conveniently positioned nearby.
The main-level primary suite offers a private retreat with dual closets, a spa-inspired bathroom with soaking tub and walk-in shower, plus a private enclosed porch with a swing overlooking the Lowcountry landscape.
Upstairs, a library with its own balcony provides an ideal study, reading room, or quiet retreat. Two additional ensuite bedrooms offer privacy for family or guests, including one bedroom with a window seat and another with a private balcony. Conditioned storage adds additional functionality.
The home’s peaceful riverfront setting has even served as creative inspiration. Its sweeping Okatie River views influenced the backdrop of the novel Acre of Fools, which is now in development for a television series. Spend an evening overlooking the marsh and river, and it is easy to understand why.
A detached guest cottage provides exceptional flexibility for visiting family, friends, or a private workspace. The cottage includes built-in bunks, a kitchenette, full bath, plus a separate office with half bath and custom built-ins.
Outdoor living is designed to make the most of the waterfront setting. A plunge pool and spa, firepit, Ipe decking, outdoor kitchen, screened grilling porch, and outdoor shower create multiple spaces for entertaining or relaxing against a backdrop of marsh grasses, live oaks, and river views.
Additional features include a two-car garage with golf cart bay, multiple storage sheds, whole-house generator, encapsulated crawlspace, advanced smart-home technology, conditioned storage, and a metal roof.
Located within Oldfield in the Bluffton-Okatie area of South Carolina, this exceptional Lowcountry property offers a rare combination of custom architecture, river and marsh views, guest accommodations, sophisticated outdoor living, and the natural beauty that defines life along the Okatie River.
