Description

With only two owners since its completion in 1989, Cottage 464 has served as the backdrop for countless family gatherings, celebrations, and lasting memories. Thoughtfully designed and meticulously crafted, this expansive seven-bedroom, seven-and-a-half-bath residence was custom built by Lucian Whittle as his personal home and inspired by the historic Beauvoir in Mississippi. The home was designed by renowned architect Lamar Webb and Lucian Whittle, with every detail carefully overseen by both men during the height of their creativity and expertise. Encompassing nearly 8,000 square feet, the home offers gracious proportions and timeless architectural elements throughout. Oversized rooms, soaring ceilings with deep moldings, extensive built-ins, and abundant storage create both elegance and livability. An elevator and central vacuum system add modern convenience, while nearly every room features custom cabinetry and bookcases, and all closets include thoughtfully designed storage systems. Set on nearly an acre—one of the largest lots on Sea Island—and at one of the island’s highest elevations, the property offers exceptional privacy and presence. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with mature trees and specimen plantings, including matching rare giant Lady Palms framing the driveway entrances. A dedicated well services the irrigation system, and landscape lighting enhances both the front and rear gardens. Outdoor living is equally impressive. A tabby-walled courtyard features a gas grill and a rope swing suspended from one of the many live oaks, creating an inviting setting for relaxed gatherings. The property also offers exceptional amenities for outdoor enthusiasts, including boat storage, built-in storage for fishing poles and tackle in the three-car garage, additional storage in the garage, a separate fish-cooking area with sink just off the kitchen, and an outdoor fish-cleaning station that doubles as a dog wash. Blending classic Sea Island architecture with extraordinary craftsmanship and a setting designed for entertaining and outdoor living, Cottage 464 is a rare opportunity to own a truly special coastal retreat.
