About 315 Lofton Ct.
Unique waterfront property located in the majestic town of McClellanville offers stunning panoramic views encompassing the intracoastal waterway, Five Fatham Creek and the 65,000-acre wildlife preserve of Cape Romain, including its landmark lighthouse. Whether a primary residence or coastal escape, this 3-acre retreat provides an unparalleled experience inside and out. Designed with a love of the Lowcountry in mind, the custom-built, waterfront home exudes true Southern charm. Wending through a portion of the 3-acre parcel, a shaded avenue of live oaks arrives at the traditional raised home where, upon entering, you are greeted by the warm and inviting timelessness of local cypress woodwork on the walls, ceilings and cabinetry, accented throughout by antique heart pine flooring. Providing water views from nearly every room, the existing single-level floor plan provides a private layout with central common areas flanked on one side with a spacious primary bedroom suite and on the other with two additional bedrooms, plus full and half bath. The Carolina room is one with the spectacular view and does not let go. Additional common areas include a lovely open-concept great room with fireplace, wet bar, kitchen and dining area that comfortably seats fourteen. Large screened-in porches are located on the waterfront and back sides, capturing the most amazing sea breezes even on the hottest days of the year. Ground level views are equally breathtaking, providing an excellent outdoor entertainment venue. The fixed and floating docks, currently in need of TLC, offer deep-water access. The raised-house architecture provides adequate height and space underneath for boat and vehicle storage. The stairs as well as an elevator are also underneath, providing convenience to all levels, including the top floor where plumbing, electric and insulation are completed, leaving only the finish work to make your own. The top floor could easily expand the interior space with a large sitting area and two more bedroom suites – plus additional water views! From this homesite, recreational and working fishing boats can be observed peacefully traversing alongside porpoises and coastal seabirds sustained by the pristine barrier islands, salt marshes and tributaries that comprise the waterway and nature preserve. Only forty miles north of Charleston, yet a world away, the fishing and shrimping village of McClellanville possesses small-town charm, untouched natural beauty and a multitude of outdoor recreational opportunities. This Lowcountry haven will undoubtedly provide a lifetime of enchantment.
