OCEAN PARK
Private Home
$9,400,000
The recently built home at 165 High Dunes Lane presents unparalleled views over sweeping marshlands, tidal creeks, and the Stono River, all framed by expansive outdoor living spaces and dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows designed to showcase the natural landscape and bring the Island’s most captivating scenery indoors. This property features a heated saltwater infinity pool and spa, a screened porch with an outdoor fireplace and summer kitchen topped by a rooftop deck, and an elegantly appointed primary suite wing with a secluded terrace for quiet moments and elevated views. Together, these amenities span more than 5,500 square feet on over a half-acre at Kiawah’s private eastern tip. Outside, the home, designed by Cumulus Architecture—whose work has appeared in Architectural Digest and Luxe magazine—is a model of clean-lined modern architecture. Slate and standing-seam metal rooflines top strikingly dark-hued vertical Boral® siding. Even from the drive, the home’s first-floor glass colonnade and spectacular second-story terrace offer views through to the marsh and native Island trees beyond. Inside, high ceilings, sleek light fixtures, streamlined finishes including stone porcelain flooring and stained white oak stairs, and hingeless interior doors run throughout. The foyer, entered via a glass pivot door and lined by transomed floor-to-ceiling glass to either side, offers a stunning first impression. It opens to the primary suite wing to one side and the great room to the other, where natural light pours through flanking expansive windows. Floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the home showcase the vast marsh. In the great room, a glass door leads directly to the pool deck, and a stone linear fireplace creates a striking focal point. The adjoining dining room offers seating for ten framed by elegant, tall windows. The centerpiece of the kitchen is its waterfall island with breakfast bar and twin-faucet wide-basin sink. Dark-hued cabinetry contrasts with pale, beautifully veined leather quartzite countertops. The top-tier appliances include a four-burner gas cooktop with griddle and downdraft ventilation, dual wall ovens, microwave, and dishwasher by GaggenauTM . To either side of the oversized Gaggenau side-by-side refrigerator and freezer are entrances to the windowed butler’s pantry and wine cellar. It contains two full-height wine coolers, a built-in automatic coffee and espresso machine, and additional dishwasher, all also by Gaggenau, plus two Wolf® refrigerator drawers and Wolf ice machine. A glass door from the kitchen opens to a spacious screened porch. This outdoor living and dining space offers sweeping marsh views reaching all the way to the Stono River, along with an outdoor fireplace, integrated television, and a summer kitchen equipped with a pizza oven and stainless-steel grill. A deep-hued beadboard ceiling with minimalist lighting and inset heaters, paired with clean-lined railings, ensures the view remains the focal point. Tucked behind the kitchen is a refined central hall incorporating the home’s elevator, primary staircase, light-filled powder room, and additional guest wing. A separate stair leads down to the mudroom and expansive garage with its electric vehicle charging station. The guest wing includes an airy hallway with built-in desk overlooking Island greenery, a sunlit bedroom with vaulted ceiling and shiplap accent wall, separate walk-in closet with built-in shelving, and finely appointed, windowed bath with an expansive frameless-glass walk-in shower and floating vanity. This suite, currently furnished as a bunkroom for four, also offers easy access to the main level’s laundry room with twin stacked washers and dryers, sink, and ample cabinetry. The elements of this wing can also combine to form an ideal in-law suite. The two story primary suite wing is defined by beautiful glass doors that anchor its entrance, setting the tone for the retreat within. The light filled bedroom features floor to ceiling windows on three sides framing nearly endless marsh views, direct access to the pool deck, and a generously sized dressing room. The windowed bath includes his and hers vanities, a standalone soaking tub finished in a striking black hue, and a half wall European shower. The suite’s private stairway leads to a second-story landing lined with glass doors that open to an intimate covered terrace with views extending in opposite directions. This level also includes a private media and sitting room with windows on three sides capturing even more dramatic vistas, and a fitness room with windows to two sides. With its built in drawer cabinetry and inset widescreen TV, this flexible space could just as easily function as a home office. The remaining guest quarters are on the second floor of the main wing. An open guest sitting room offers cozy conversation seating and a writing desk beneath a vaulted ceiling, and a glass door and tall windows open to the main rooftop deck with its outdoor fireplace and spectacular views of a sea of marsh grasses, ribboning tidal creeks, and river. To one side, past the guest laundry with its LG® Signature washer and dryer, is the first guest suite. Complete with a separate sitting area overlooking the treetops, a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows in the bedroom showcases the blue waters of a tidal creek. The bath features a European half-glass walk-in rain shower and soaking tub, a clerestory window above the floating vanity, and across the hall, a walk-in closet with built-in shelving. To the other side, the second guest suite enjoys expansive windows to two sides, including a set overlooking the marsh, its own dressing foyer, and bath with a windowed half-glass walk-in shower, floating vanity, and sun-drenched water closet.
