Private Island Living on Selkirk Plantation

There are a few things that come to mind when thinking what it would be like living on a private island; having your own backyard free of noisy neighbors, unlimited privacy, and impeccable 360-degree views. Most would consider this a fantasy or at least not attainable in the southeast United States. Fortunately, the Low Country does have a lot of this to offer!

Here at Handsome Properties, we have one property in particular that couldn’t be any more perfect, stunning, and thorough when looking for an island home. 5920 Selkirk Plantation Road is the pinnacle of low country island living, and it’s for sale. It is hard to put how spectacular this property is into words, but we will do our best. Ultimately, we hope you are able to see this breathtaking estate for yourself.

5920 Selkirk Plantation is located on Wadmalaw Island, southwest of Peninsular Charleston. Selkirk Plantation is astounding in itself. Set on 800 acres of land as part of the Lowcountry Open Land Trust , this soil will be permanently protected and preserved by a conservation easement. Of the 800 acres, only 30 lots can be residential, providing the utmost privacy and oasis-like conditions for its residents.

Upon arrival, you will drive down a scenic country road surrounded by beautiful land, horse pastures, and majestic oaks. Once reaching the end of Selkirk Plantation Road, a beautifully built custom barn sits before a sturdy bridge which leads to the main residence. Many people mistake this barn as the main home due to its many assets and grandeur. But keep driving and you will end up on a stunning retreat removed from the mainland. The barn features a spectacular entertainment room with a grand skylit cupola.

There is also an immaculate living space and custom kitchen perfect for guests or special events. Attached is a large garage with oversized barn doors, perfect for holding tractors, supplies, cars, and much more. Upstairs you will find a dollhouse that has come to life. The owner put her vision to work when designing the upstairs living quarters. With ample space for 3 beds and a dreamy full bathroom, this guest living is truly something special. This barn also has a builtin patio grill, outdoor sink, and an adjacent lot with additional land.

Continuing over the scenic bridge to the private island, you will find the grand main residence. A winding path with oaks, pines, and palms make up the amazing entrance. This 4,500 square foot home features a large master suite and attached master bath on the main floor. The grand foyer beautifully displays red oak floors and winding staircase.

The living room is complete with French doors that overlook the stunning heated pool and gazebo. Attached is a study completely paneled in cherry and custom woodwork, and panoramic views of the land can be seen from the bright sunroom. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, with a large grand island, plenty of counter space, WOLF range, and sub-zero refrigeration system.

Upstairs is complete with 2 large bedrooms, each with their own full bathrooms and built-in window seating that overlooks the backyard with a stunning pool and gazebo. But what sets this home apart from any other is the spectacular nature of this island it sits on. Completely removed from the hustle and bustle of the mainland, and just a 25-minute drive to downtown Charleston.

Driving across the scenic bridge to the main house will make you instantly fall in love with this astounding estate. Crabbing, fishing, boating, and swimming come endlessly when you reside on this magnificent estate. The 170-foot dock complete with electricity and boat lift is located on the edge of the island extending out into the marsh.
