$18 MILLION SOUTH CAROLINA VACATION ESTATE

November 18, 2013

15,000 square feet, 7 bedrooms, 12 baths on over 11 acres of swamp land on Kiawah Island in South Carolina. This home was the vacation home from a wealthy New York banker who built the house in 2005. It was first on the market for $26 million and then recently dropped to $18 million. The home was featured in Architectural Digest in June 2009.  The home is listed by Kiawah Island Real Estate and is described as having “Carolina Lowcountry charm” in the description.

The interiors was decorated by Atlanta designer Jackye Lanham.

Kiawah Island is not far from Charleston, SC. I was told when I went to Charleston back in September that Kiawah was a must see. Next time.

What do you think of this island vacation home.

Happy Monday!

    Kiawah Island is very beautiful and was once very charming, although I am not sure if that remains today. Definitely worth a visit!

    Wow beautiful! For that price I would rather be on the beach, but it’s still awesome!

    This is absolutely gorgeous! I wish I had an extra 18 million laying around. lol. Oh well. I’m still looking for affordable South Carolina real estate options so maybe I can just buy a home next door and admire it each day. 😉

Alexis Banks Humiston didn’t just design this 9,20 Alexis Banks Humiston didn’t just design this 9,200 sq ft Nashville home, she moved in with the family for two days first.
She interviewed everyone, including the 6 and 8-year-olds, before touching a wall. The payoff shows up in the details: a hand-painted constellation ceiling in the son’s room by @willemrackestudio, a floral canopy bed for the daughter, and a hidden reclaimed-wood bar tucked into the attic eaves.
Every room feels like it was made to be lived in, not admired.

The kitchen island gets all the credit. The stools The kitchen island gets all the credit. The stools rarely get any.
Velvet, woven wood, molded modern, sculptural, cast brass — seven islands, seven completely different takes on where you actually sit down. Some rooms go quiet with it, some go bold. Both work.

An easy fall tablescape you can actually recreate.An easy fall tablescape you can actually recreate. 🍂
You don’t need a perfectly styled table or a dozen new pieces to make a fall gathering feel special. Start with what you already have and layer in a few simple details.
Think woven placemats + simple white plates + gingham napkins + fresh greenery. Add clear glassware and a simple centerpiece, and you have a table that feels warm, collected, and ready for dinner with friends.
The best part? Most of these elements can work beyond fall, too. Just switch out the napkin pattern or greenery and you have a completely different look.
Save this for your next fall gathering and use it as a starting point for your own table. 🤎
