Located behind the second gate in the exclusive Vanderhorst Plantation area of the island, this home offers spectacular marsh and river views. Three decks offer plenty of outdoor living space and include sweeping views of Kiawah's natural landscape. This home offers such amenities as a sunken living room with a gas fireplace, a gourmet kitchen (decorated in French country style) with Viking appliances, den, and gas grill. A home office is also tucked away in the laundry room, and offers wireless internet access. Guests of this wonderful home also have access to the two-car garage.

LIVING AREAS: The elegant sunken living room incorporates light-colored seating that seems to float amidst the dark hardwood floors and furnishings. The picture windows let in lots of sunlight filtered through the evergreen Live oak and Palmetto trees, and sparkling from the waters of the peaceful marsh. A gas fireplace anchors the room, and an entertainment center holds a TV with expanded tier cable. Sliding glass doors from the living area lead out onto the multi-level deck and patio, which is a great place for sunning or dining al fresco at the table for four. Steps lead down to a patio with a gas grill. A sliding glass door from the deck leads into the eat-in kitchen, where the French Provencal decor invites guests to become culinary masters, at least for a time. The dining table seats six, and is backed by a bank of tall windows looking out over the marsh. A large farmhouse sink is nestled into the granite-topped counter separating the kitchen from the dining area. The counter wraps around a large island which houses a gas range and has seating for two guests. Stainless steel appliances are right at home in this thoroughly modern kitchen. Upstairs, a den houses a sleeper sofa and an entertainment center with a flat-screen TV and DVD player, as well as a stereo. Sliding glass doors open to a furnished deck overlooking the marsh and offering distant views of the Kiawah River. A half-bath is located off the foyer.

BEDROOMS: The master bedroom is furnished with a king sleigh bed has access to the deck via sliding glass doors. This bedroom includes high ceilings, an entertainment center with a flat-screen TV, and a private bathroom with a double-sink vanity, soaking tub and separate shower. A second bedroom across from the kitchen is furnished with a king bed. An entertainment center houses its own TV with expanded tier cable. This bedroom shares the full hall bath with a third bedroom furnished with two twin beds, and featuring its own flat-screen TV.
