365 DISTANT ISLAND DRIVE
BEAUFORT, SC
With just over 100 home sites, private docks, and a resident-only marina, The Village of Distant Island is perfect for boaters and homeowners looking for water access without the scale of larger developments.
This Distant Island home began with an award-winning architectural plan that was customized to fit the property and the needs of the homeowners. The design focused on livable flow, natural light, and creating a strong connection between shared and private spaces. With an 11-foot ceiling in the main hall that opens to the upper floor, the home feels spacious and welcoming. Thoughtful trim details, balanced proportions, and a soft, neutral palette give it a comfortable Lowcountry feel that suits its surroundings.

A large mother-in-law suite adds flexibility for extended family, and the double back porches extend the living space outdoors. The outdoor fireplace, finished in natural stone, became a key feature of the project and one of its most distinctive details. It was both technically challenging and rewarding, serving as a centerpiece for the back porch. Inside, closet designs were carefully planned to maximize function and efficiency, using every inch of space without sacrificing comfort.
