Property Description
A restored log cabin dating to the mid-to-late 1700s has been thoughtfully updated with a full kitchen, bathroom, a large bedroom on the second floor and front porch while preserving its original exposed logs and historic character.
The cottage, originally constructed in the late 1800s in Summerville, South Carolina, has a unique past as a detached kitchen house and later a Girl Scout meeting house in 1923. Relocated from the Pee Dee/Florence area to the property in the 1990s, it now features a bathroom, kitchenette, and a spacious screened porch perfect for enjoying coastal breezes.
Additional improvements include a barn-style garage constructed in the late 1990s using salvaged timbers from the historic Bailey Island wooden bridge near Edisto Beach, offering excellent storage or workshop space.
A private covered dock located approximately 30 feet from the bluff provides exceptional access to Toogoodoo Creek and includes a 10 x 26 floating dock with deep water access on both sides. Evenings on the dock offer unforgettable sunsets and peaceful moments surrounded by nature.
From the dock, the Intracoastal Waterway is approximately 15 to 20 minutes away by boat, opening access to Charleston Harbor, Kiawah, Edisto Island, and Beaufort. The property is served by a 600-foot well, septic system, and fiber optic internet, and is located within convenient driving distance of Charleston, area golf courses, and coastal amenities.
The Toogoodoo River House presents a rare opportunity to own a historic Lowcountry waterfront compound blending centuries of history with the beauty and tranquility of the Charleston coastal landscape.
