70 Otter Island is a truly special location on Kiawah, offering a rare combination of amenities. It is located on a cul-de-sac at the end of a secluded street with minimal traffic. This private setting offers panoramic marsh views, a deep water dock for fishing and boating, a short walk to the most pristine part of Kiawah's beach bordering the Ocean Course and less than a 5 minute bike ride to the luxury of the Kiawah Island Club's Beach Club. This location clearly offers the best of what makes Kiawah Island an exceptional place, and supports an idyllic life style. Imagine an early morning beach walk, or bike ride, to catch a magical sunrise on the uncrowded beach. Or, enjoying the dock for easy boat access to the Stono and Kiawah Rivers or Atlantic Ocean. Maybe the dock simply facilitatespaddling through Bass Creek and fishing along the way. Relaxing at the Beach Club's pool and beach facility is a simple, no-hassle experience given its proximity. The house is a Lowcountry style with wrap around porches on the first and main levels to enjoy the outdoors in the shade on a warm day, or in the sun when it is cooler. The main level porch has a grilling deck, and the first level porch has an over-sized spa to enjoy as a Jacuzzi or as a plunge pool or simply a place to relax with a glass of wine watching the beautiful sunsets over the marsh. The house was meticulously crafted by one of Kiawah's most sought after builders, Dan Buffington. The third floor master retreat features his and her bathrooms, cathedral ceilings, a gas fireplace and a private covered balcony with incredible nature views. The third floor also offers a separate private reading room to serve as an office or art studio with its own outside private deck. Featuring ever-present marsh views, the main floor boats an ideal floor plan, whether you enjoy entertaining family and friends or want to experience the peaceful surrounds as a couple. The gourmet kitchen is appointed with top-of-the-line appliances and an antique center island perfect for conversation on pull up bar stools. The kitchen also features a comfortable keeping room area to serve as an intimate family room or family dining space. The spacious living and dining room showcases custom details throughout, a gas fireplace and access to an enclosed winter porch, climate-controlled wine room and outside grilling deck. The first floor is home to three bedrooms, two bathrooms and an office. The four-stop elevator can take you to all floors, including the climate-controlled garage which boasts ample storage. This special property is offered appointed with fine furnishings, including valuable antiques and oriental area rugs, and a Kiawah Island Club Golf Membership opportunity.
