Privately positioned on 23.98 acres of permanently conserved land on exclusive Wadmalaw Island, this deep-water equestrian retreat blends timeless architecture with elevated modern amenities.
Charleston-based Cobb Architects, in collaboration with esteemed builder M.R. Jackson, designed the estate in 2018 with a focus on cohesive materials and enduring form. Exterior elements�antique brick, leathered granite, Slate Bronze standing seam roofing, and Hardie� Artisan� siding�complement energy-efficient Andersen impact-rated windows. A reverse osmosis water system, whole-house generator, full-property WiFi, and curated landscape lighting complete the estate�s infrastructure.
Spanning 6,488 square feet, the main house pairs elegance with approachable luxury. Expansive living and dining areas open seamlessly to the outdoors, with views over Bohicket Creek, a screened porch, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, and an LED-lit 28-foot saltwater pool.

Purpose-built for serious equestrians, the facilities at 4855 Retriever Road are as functional as they are beautiful. At the heart of the property is a professionally designed barn, constructed with locally sourced cypress and anchored by a brick center aisle. Custom European stall fronts, heated wash stall, Thurobed stall mattresses, and Nelson automatic waterers ensure top-tier care and comfort. Upstairs, a soaring timber-framed loft opens to a covered balcony�an ideal perch for unwinding after a day in the saddle. A one-bedroom, one-bath apartment is perfectly suited for a live-in caretaker.
Outdoors, the estate offers three lush, fenced pastures and three paddocks�each enclosed by classic four-board fencing and equipped with run-in sheds for optimal equine comfort. A competition-size dressage arena enhances the property�s equestrian credentials, offering a private venue suitable for training, performance, or leisurely riding.
