Find your ideal elite estate The luxury home market is heating up on both sides of the Broad River in South Carolina.

Real estate officials say confident buyers are scooping up historic homes in Beaufort and water-oriented properties on Hilton Head Island. Meanwhile, they say, wealthy secondhome owners are finally willing to sell. In addition, luxury developments are taking off and capital improvement projects are boosting home values across the market.

“The greater Hilton Head area couldn’t be better poised for those searching for luxury properties,” said Jean Beck, executive vice president of the Hilton Head Area Association of Realtors. “Resale value is a very important indicator to luxury homeowners, and with the recent capital improvements and redevelopment in the area, it increases the value of real estate and the appeal to buyers.”

The Lowcountry is honey combed with

elite estates. For some, the epitome of luxe is a sprawling riverfront retreat with deep-water dock, or a home with never ending views of the fairways. And for others, it’s about lavish finishes, state-of-the-art technology, and world-class amenities.

The area’s unique landscape and design also emulates the quality of life that luxury homebuyers desire.

“Yes our beaches and tidal creeks are beautiful, but we also have great outdoor activities, golf, and wonderful bike paths. It’s living within nature and the quality of our communities that also draws buyers seeking that kind of lifestyle,” Beck said.

Elite Estates magazine is your source for luxury listings in the Lowcountry. The publication features homes priced at $800,000 and higher. We hope you enjoy the journey to finding your new home - or home away from home.

Your Lowcountry vacation doesn’t have to end

housands of visitors have decided to make their dream come true and move to Hilton Head Island, Bluffton, Beaufort and the surrounding sea islands. It’s not just the beaches, warm weather, gorgeous scenery, championship golf courses, and fine restaurants. The Lowcountry offers residents world-class healthcare facilities, expansive educational opportunities, vibrant arts and cultural community, and a strong business community.

After struggling through the Great Recession, the residential real estate market in Beaufort County is steadily climbing again.

Heading into fall, residential real estate is performing as predicted at the beginning of the year.

“When people come to the Lowcountry on summer vacation, they’re here to do just that — to vacation,” said Realtor Ric Hollifield

with Charter One Realty. “It’s not until they go home and the cold weather starts setting in that they start flipping through those real estate magazines and seriously considering buying property down South.”

26 The Island Packet • The Beaufort Gazette • Elite Estates Fall 2016

According to the South Carolina Realtors’ MLS report for June, the Beaufort and Hilton Head Island area housing markets showed improvements even over a strong 2015.

“We should see a healthy number of sales in most categories for the next few months, yet there is still some lingering worry about low inventory, especially with an overall slowdown in new construction,” the SCR report stated.

Sales and prices have been increasing, with closed transactions up 6.7 percent year-to-date and the median price up 8.8 percent. Inventory was down 9.5 percent to 6.7 months, indicating that demand increased relative to supply.

“This is the time of year that we’re telling our sellers it’s time to sell,”Hollifield said.

“For buyers, it’s like going Christmas shopping on Thanksgiving. The prices are low and inventory is solid.”

COVER HOME STORY - COLLETON RIVER CLUB

P

Elegance Meets Comfort at Double Eagle Drive

rivate, luxurious Southern living defines this exceptional home in Colleton River Club in Bluffton.

The home at 2 Double Eagle Drive was designed by celebrated architect Wayne Windham and is the ideal blend of elegance, comfort and sophistication.

“The owners did a lot of work renovating the home,” said Realtor Ric Hollifield, the listing agent. “The attention to detail reflects the desire of the owners to make it their own.”

The home is listed for $1,140,000. It has a total of four bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, and a den with fiberoptic starlight ceiling and built-in media center.

The property features a spacious detached two-bedroom apartment above a three-car garage.

At the heart of this home is a chef's kitchen that's perfect for entertaining. The

sprawling space is outfitted with a six-burner range, double oven and grill, two dishwasher drawers, and stainless steel appliances. Handcrafted timber frame trusses extending into the family room add to the open concept feel.

The grandeur doesn't end there.

An artisan was brought in to add handpainted detail to the Confederate gray kitchen island and the outlet covers, which were painted to match the white and tan marble countertops for a seamless look.

Just off the kitchen is a sommelier's dream: a chilled-to-perfection wine room with tasting table that can accommodate more than 300 vintages.

Elsewhere, architectural splendor is exemplified in the home's high coffered ceilings, sweeping archways, detailed trimwork, and oak and stone floorings.

The main house has two master bedrooms,

30 The Island Packet • The Beaufort Gazette • Elite Estates Fall 2016

with the upstairs suite opening to a terrace that overlooks the saltwater pool with spillover hot tub.

The downstairs master bedroom has a relaxing sitting area that looks out over the pool courtyard, which was transformed into a tranquil English garden with lush grass, a flagstone terrace and ivy-covered trellis.

With all the space the main house affords, it is still a perfect residence for two people to live full time and be comfortable, Hollifield said.

"The spirit of this property is one of peace, love and comfort. It's incredibly warm and inviting," he said. “You don't often hear a house described as sexy, but this house is just that."
