Ghost Tree is a stunning, private, deepwater estate, located on 14.7 acres on Bohicket Creek. ''Ghost Tree,'' named after the majestic Live Oak tree located on the property, features a three bedroom main house, and two bedroom guest house, saltwater pool, equipment shed, 5' wide dock to true deep water, covered pier head with 6,000 lb boat lift, and 40' floating dock make this a boater's dream. Stunning design, landscaping, and use of space creates a retreat that offers the best of low country living, and yet close to downtown Charleston, and the beaches of Kiawah and Seabrook. Ghost Tree is a 10 minute boat ride to Bohicket Marina, with shops and restaurants, and 25 minutes from the inlet. The main house was custom built in 2007 by Hazel Rourke, and designed by architect, Justin Ferrick..Entering the main house from the layered slate and brick walkways and up to the large covered front porch, you immediately have breathtaking views of the creek through the house. The home is designed to live on the main level, with the master bedroom downstairs, and only a few stairs to reach ground floor elevation. The main level features oak hardwood flooring throughout. The garage, full bath, wet bar, kitchen and breakfast dining area are on one side of the house, and the master bedroom, bathroom, library, and office are on the other giving much privacy to the master suite. The main living and dining area feature large floor to ceiling windows to capture the views, and wood burning fireplace with a gas starter and walnut mantel. Just off the living room, and library, is a screened porch which features vaulted ceilings and IPE decking. Perfect for entertaining, this screened in porch has a large brick wood burning fireplace, with gas starter, TV, and is currently set up with a wet bar and cooler. The spacious master bedroom features incredible views over the backyard, pool deck, and Bohicket Creek. The master bathroom features his and her vanities, dual walk-in closets, a large soaking tub, and beautiful tile shower. The laundry room is conveniently located just off the master bath. The open kitchen features large butcher block island with counter seating and storage, Wolf six burner gas oven, Wolf Microwave, Wolf warming drawer, Sub zero Refrigerator and 2 Freezer drawers, as well as custom cabinetry, and large stainless steel sink. A full bathroom is located just off the kitchen that can serve as a powder room, or a full bath with shower if you need to rinse off from a day on the water. Upstairs, there are two large guest bedrooms overlooking the creek, both featuring en suite bathrooms, and are separated by a large landing with linen closet. Making your way to the back porch, you will find IPE decking and modern stainless steel cable railing. This is the perfect place to relax in a rocking chair and enjoy the breeze off the water. A salt water pool and travertine tile deck are just off the back porch, and to top off the resort-like outdoor space is a large elevated IPE dining deck. This deck is on the very corner of the property, and accommodates a large dining table for 8 people. The beautifully designed guest house features a three car garage, tool shop, full bath, laundry room, and has an elevator shaft. Above the garage is a two bedroom, open layout guest cottage with a full kitchen, vaulted ceilings, and a wonderful covered outdoor deck. The guest house features hardwood floors throughout, a master bedroom, master bath with his and hers vanities, and a large guest bedroom and full bath. ""Ghost Tree"" has been thoughtfully designed, very well built, and very well maintained!
