A graceful winding and lushly landscaped drive leads to a very private and elegant Southern-style family compound on 2.99 acres. The nearly three acre property, surrounded by a nature curtain, is situated on the southwest coast of Spring Island and overlooks a vast salt marsh and the Colleton River.
Designed by the founder of Historical Concepts, Jim Strickland, the home combines the best of traditional design with superb craftsmanship to create an aesthetically pleasing and relaxed living environment for its residents. Renowned interior designer, David Easton decorated the home and Jim Strickland’s frequent collaborator, Don Hooten, created the landscape plan. The result is a family compound that achieves a sense of harmony and of place. The main residence features a spacious entry with high ceilings and a stenciled floor, a warm paneled study and a generous living room with two fireplaces and abundant light from French doors and transom windows. Nearby a formal dining room and a complete bar feature bespoke touches in keeping with the exceptional quality of the home. A large kitchen and gathering room with a fireplace enjoy close proximity to the breakfast room, pantry, laundry, half bath, mud room and a 600 bottle climate-controlled wine room. Completing the first floor are his and her offices, a beautiful master bedroom with fireplace, and well-appointed his and her bathrooms and closets. The guest accommodations are located on the home’s upper level. Three bedrooms with en suite baths provide luxurious accommodations for friends and family. Large front and rear porches, both open and screened provide ideal space for entertaining and enjoying the outdoors. A separate building contains the garage whose exterior design resembles a stable. It contains storage for automobiles, a separate fitness room, a potting shed, half bath and a sunny guest apartment on the upper level. The elements that make a great home have all been brought together at 8 Pole Creek Lane. Creative design in architecture, interiors, and landscaping combined with unrivaled craftsmanship and a uniquely beautiful site make this one of Spring Island’s most prized estate homes.
