A rare opportunity to own an architect-designed Lowcountry compound on 18.29 acres with an exceptional sense of privacy, 799 Sonny Boy Lane offers two custom residences, approximately 5,659 combined square feet, mature grand live oaks, open pasture, wooded natural buffers, and no HOA.Set at the end of a private drive beneath a canopy of oaks, the property feels peacefully removed while remaining convenient to Charleston, Kiawah, Seabrook, Wadmalaw Island, and Johns Island's dining and coastal amenities.Completed in 2017, the approximately 4,302-square-foot main residence was designed by Gensburg Toniolo Harting Architects. The home combines timeless architecture with carefully selected materials, including European white oak flooring, custom cabinetry and millwork,historic mantels, designer lighting, copper detailing, gas lanterns, and a metal roof. The open living areas were designed for everyday comfort and entertaining, with the kitchen, dining area, living room, and glass-enclosed sunroom flowing naturally together. Expansive windows and doors frame views across the property, while multiple fireplaces and a separate vaulted retreat create warm and inviting spaces throughout the home. The residence includes three private bedroom en suites, including a secluded primary wing with a spa-inspired bath, custom walk-in closet, and secured collection room. Additional finished space above the attached three-car garage is currently configured as two offices with a full bath and offers future flexibility. A short distance from the main residence, Captain's Quarters is a private approximately 1,357-square-foot Lowcountry-style cottage completed in 2014. It features two en suite bedrooms, a loft, wraparound porch, antique heart pine flooring, and architectural details that complement the main home. The cottage has operated successfully as a short-term rental for nine consecutive years, earning Airbnb Superhost status and Top 5% recognition. Continued rental use is subject to applicable permitting and buyer verification. The 18.29 acres offer an uncommon combination of privacy, open pasture, mature live oaks, wooded buffers, and established garden areas, with current agricultural-use tax assessment eligibility. With two residences, no HOA, modern custom construction, and a setting that would be difficult to replicate, 799 Sonny Boy Lane presents an exceptional opportunity for a private estate, multi-residence retreat, work-from-home lifestyle, recreational use, land stewardship, or future vision.
