GRACEFUL INTERIORS: An entry loggia, with ancient doors and tile from Portugal, introduces the 9,811-square-foot main house. Architectural elements from across the globe accent the luxurious living spaces, including carved volcanic stone columns from Mexico, tasteful faux finishes, antique Scandinavian-pine windows, marble and heart-pine floors, and artistic stencil work. The foyer opens into a spacious central formal living and dining room that accesses both the kitchen and the pantry, with a unique pass-through disguised as a cabinet. Gracing the gourmet kitchen are granite countertops, dual dishwashers and farm sinks, a Wolf range, and a walk-in cooler. Two laundry rooms are an added amenity. Situated just off the kitchen, overlooking a small courtyard, the breakfast nook is an ideal spot to spend a lazy Sunday morning. The bright and sunny garden room at the back of the home is perfect for casual entertaining and socializing. A handsome library boasts a 19th-Century mantel and accesses the very private main level master suite. Six fireplaces throughout promote a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

FINE ACCOMMODATIONS: The serene master suite is positioned at the rear of the house, isolated from the living areas. Chief among its impressive characteristics are spacious his and her baths and a generous amount of closet space. At the other end of the home, a first-floor guest bedroom is ready to accommodate friends or family. The second level is comprised entirely of personal quarters, with two more guest rooms and two family bedrooms, each equipped with its own bath. A guest apartment atop the garage has its own bath and living room.

RESPLENDENT GROUNDS: Lovely courtyards, shady arcades, and splashing fountains contribute to the property’s beautiful landscaping. The front courtyard embraces the Spanish-style entrance and is centered on a charming fountain surrounded by lush plantings. A smaller rear courtyard looks out toward the pool area, ringed with a red travertine terrace and boasting an adjacent poolhouse.

IDEAL LOCATION: Sea Island is a private resort community encompassing an entire barrier island in what is known as the Golden Isles of Georgia. Connected to the mainland by a long causeway, the island is tastefully secluded and offers an idyllic lifestyle. The beautiful marshes and breathtaking beaches are never far away, while The Cloister and the Beach Club provide fine dining, spa and fitness facilities, and world-class golf courses.
