Truly rare in both setting and design, this extraordinary waterfront retreat on coveted Sea Island is a masterful collaboration between Summerour Architects and Summerour Construction, Inc., completed in 2021. Perfectly positioned with western exposure, the home captures breathtaking sunsets and offers the rare privilege of a covered private deep-water dock and floating dock with 15 feet of water depth at low tide. From the dock, it is less than a five-minute boat ride to the Atlantic Ocean. Thoughtfully designed in a timeless cedar shingle style, the residence is accented by crisp white metal windows and a striking custom louver system wrapping the lower fa ade. Thoughtful interiors by Kay Douglass Interiors are colorful and inviting. The main level is filled with natural light and framed by panoramic water views. An elegant dining room overlooks the marsh, while the chef's kitchen is a true showpiece featuring marble countertops, a large center island, custom cabinetry, and a dramatic black-and-white tile feature over the range. The kitchen flows effortlessly into the grand fireside living room, creating warm yet sophisticated gathering spaces surrounded by walls of windows. The main level also includes three bedrooms, highlighted by an oversized primary suite with a walk-in closet and a luxurious bath featuring double vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower. Designed for seamless entertaining, the terrace level features exterior pocket doors opening to resort-style outdoor living spaces complete with a built-in bar, full outdoor kitchen, fireside living room, spa-inspired pool, and beautifully integrated terraces. A spacious mudroom and oversized 2.5-car garage add both style and functionality. The upper level offers some of the home's most spectacular views, with sweeping marsh vistas and unforgettable sunsets. Complete with two additional bedrooms and two full baths, this level is ideal for hosting family and guests. The property also features a gated entrance, fully fenced grounds, a whole-house generator, pickleball court, geothermal heating and cooling, and an outdoor shower. A true seaside sanctuary unlike anything else on Sea Island.

Dock approved. Located within a gated estate on the private island of Sea Island, secured by 24-hour security, "Villa Measured," Cottage 509 sits on an exceptionally private .86-acre deep-water homesite-one of the largest and most secluded marsh and riverfront parcels on the island. Long, uninterrupted water views unfold in multiple directions, while the estate's setting and natural buffers create a level of privacy that is increasingly difficult to replicate. The approved dock further enhances the property's lifestyle, offering direct access to the river while preserving the property's quiet, protected character. Designed with intention and restraint, Villa Measured achieves a rare balance-architecturally significant yet comfortably livable, substantial without excess. Inspired by the Musee Rodin in Paris, this Neoclassical residence was constructed on 35-50-foot pilings with load-bearing masonry walls, Ludowici terracotta roof tiles, precast concrete floor panels, stone balusters, and Medici yellow stucco. An aggregate stone and concrete drive leads to the residence and its three-car garage, reinforcing both arrival and functionality. Inside, a terra-cotta tiled foyer framed by limestone columns creates a direct sightline through the home to the marsh and river beyond. Twelve-foot ceilings, Ron Batton custom millwork, copper detailing, and full lightning protection reflect the depth of craftsmanship throughout. Living spaces flow seamlessly indoors and out. Upper and lower loggias overlook a vanishing-edge pool and spa, offering multiple vantage points to enjoy the surrounding landscape. Formal living and dining rooms open to a great room connected to the kitchen and vaulted breakfast room, creating a layout that supports both everyday living and entertaining. Four fireplaces-three interior and one wood-burning fireplace in the loggia-anchor gathering spaces, while two custom fire sculptures by London artist Cathy Burkman add warmth, light, and subtle movement. The south primary wing provides privacy within the home, featuring a dedicated study, dual dressing rooms, an exercise room, and double doors opening to a limestone terrace overlooking the marsh. The second level includes five bedrooms and two limestone terraces separated by the Marsh Room, along with approximately 1,100 square feet of additional guest accommodations accessible from both the main and second floors. A tennis rebound court and a finished floor elevation of 161/2 feet complete the estate. With gated access, 24-hour security, a rare .86-acre deep-water setting, an approved dock, and a residence scaled for elegant daily living, Villa Measured stands among the most private and thoughtfully proportioned estates on Sea Island.
