With thoughtful consideration for the natural landscape and an appreciation for the Lowcountry lifestyle, the Southern Living Idea House is designed to reference the simple beauty of the farmhouses that have historically informed the architectural vernacular of the region.

Carefully positioned between two sprawling live oaks, the main house and adjacent carriage house make the most of their site on the banks of Abbapoola Creek, with views from nearly every space in the house (including the powder room) and a floor plan that emphasizes an easygoing flow between indoors and out.

Even the smallest details have been selected with the Charleston community in mind. In addition to including handcrafted products from area farm vendors, the team is also curating a collection of local art.
