About 25 miles southwest of Charleston, South Carolina, lies the idyllic Kiawah Island.

This 10-mile stretch of land is known for its pristine natural beauty, luxurious resort amenities, and award-winning golf and tennis facilities. But it’s also home to some spectacular real estate — including a newly listed $9.2 million mansion that’s pure house goals.

And we’re not the only ones to say that: the 6-bedroom home at 39 Ocean Course Drive was recognized as one of Kiawah Island’s premier residences on the Charleston Symphony Tour of Homes.

Now, the Georgian-style mansion is being brought to the market for the first time ever, with Grace Connor, and the Katherine Cox + Co. team at Coldwell Banker Realty handling the listing.

Not only does the mansion offer panoramic views of serene marshes, rivers, lagoons, tidal creeks, and lush treetops, but future owners and their guests also enjoy vistas of the world-renowned Ocean Course — which served as host of the 2012 and 2021 PGA Championships and will reprise the role in the upcoming 2025 PGA Championship.

It has a 500-square-foot rooftop deck

Listed for the first time

The Georgian-style mansion was built by its current owner in 2009, which means this is the first time the lauded house is being offered for sale. Priced at $9.2 million, the property is listed with Grace Connor and the Katherine Cox + Co. team with Coldwell Banker Realty in the Carolinas, Mount Pleasant office.
