316 Yacht Club Lane
St Simons Island, Georgia

6 bed / 9 bath / 11,931 Sq. Ft. / 32,234 Sq. Ft., 0.74 acres lot size / Single Family

$7,850,000

If you’ve ever dreamed of coastal living with a hefty dose of grandeur, look no further than The Mansion on St. Simons Island. At 316 Yacht Club Lane, expect unparalleled luxury living and breathtaking views that will leave you in awe from the moment you arrive.

Nancy Usher, associate broker at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Hodnett Cooper Real Estate, describes The Mansion as being utterly unique to the area. “The Mansion is quite grand, from the view as you see it coming onto the island from the causeway to entering the cul de sac where it sits on 3 lots of record,” she says. “Even with all of its grandness, The Mansion feels welcoming and inviting.”

Upon entering the property, you’re welcomed by a finely landscaped yard adorned with colorful plants and inviting rocking chairs on the front porch. It’s a property that commands attention while remaining approachable. Connor Burke, a licensed real estate salesperson at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Hodnett Cooper Real Estate says, “It definitely has that wow factor with the lustrous white brick against black trim and details painted into the black brick driveway, but very welcoming and approachable.”

“The architecture and decor were designed to be timeless and will never be outdated,” explains Burke. From Turkish Travertine stone to hardwood floors, every element speaks of quality and craftsmanship. The coastal-inspired decor invites you to sit back, relax, and savor every moment.

Inside, the kitchen stands out as a masterpiece of design and functionality. “It’s very difficult to name one favorite room but the kitchen is spectacular,” adds Usher. With its large built-in island, ample seating, and luxury stainless steel appliances, it’s a chef’s dream. Add panoramic views of the water and bridge, and meal prep becomes a scenic delight.

Adjacent to the kitchen is the pool room, a space designed for entertainment and relaxation. Complete with a full bar, TV, and convenient full bath, it’s the perfect spot to unwind after a dip in the saltwater swimming pool or spillover spa hot tub.

Outside, the property continues to impress with its numerous porches, seating areas, and lush landscaping. “With the dock comes a boat house and also permit to extend or build additional docks with the 3 lots this property sits on. The photos show the historic Lynx ship at the dock, which spends half the year on St Simons Island and the other half in Nantucket. How exciting it was to have that incredible ship docked at this magnificent property!” says Usher. It’s a tranquil retreat, while the dock opens up endless possibilities for waterfront activities.

The home was designed with large gatherings as well as luxury comforts in mind. “There are multiple living rooms, a game and music room with wet bar, a den, an exercise room. In fact, you would have a hard time choosing which room to use because the options are seemingly endless and all are equally appealing,” says Burke. In every aspect, The Mansion on St. Simons Island is a testament to luxury, elegance, and coastal living at its finest.

The recent auction fetched $88.48 million, making it the most valuable property ever auctioned live at Sotheby’s.

“The remarkable final sale price for ‘La Dune’ reflects its stunning design, exclusive address, and historic pedigree,” said Chad Roffers, founder and CEO of Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions.
