Low Country Real Estate: Charleston Battery Style Home at The Ford Plantation

Charleston Battery Style Home at The Ford Plantation

New Construction - 4 Bed - 3.5 Bath Virtual Tour
 

Charleston Battery towers above the shady commons of McAllister Point Park at the eastern edge of the magnificent Ford Plantation. This 18th century plantation is recognized as one of America's finest residential resort communities and sporting clubs. And McAllister Point, with its unobstructed views of protected rice basin, bird nesting sanctuary and the reflective waters of the Ogeechee River, is its jewel.

Looming over this magnificent stretch of land and water, the Charleston Battery is a story of its own, a proud replica of the towering waterfront mansions that represented the heyday of visual splendor of Charleston, South Carolina. Its Savannah brick exterior offset by sections of custom-cut Indiana limestone is complemented by ornate touches of decorative ironwork and lead-coated copper gutters. Boldly proportioned full and half-columns on porches and at entrees are authentic Victorian Lowcountry, and indicative of the signature "transitional" style of architects Neil Dawson and Richard K. Wissmach.

Inside, Charleston Battery is a masterful blend of traditional and modernity. A versatile three-car garage shares the ground floor with a private-entry wine and cigar cellar with brick floor. Hand-carved stair rails and newel posts compete for access to second and third floors with a richly finished three-story home elevator. Open, spacious rooms boast large door frames with heavy pocket doors, historically accurate moldings, deep-seated window groupings, elegantly completed kitchens and luxuriously finished bathrooms. Expansive porches run the length and width of the home, providing views of incredible natural beauty: centuries-old live oak and magnolia trees; the encompassing antebellum rice fields; and a flurry of wildlife, from soaring southern bald eagles to the fish fauna of the untamed Ogeechee River.

Stately, spacious and spectacular, Charleston Battery is an authentic masterpiece that delivers the ultimate in contemporary living.
