107± Acre Gated Waterfront Estate with 17± Acres of Upland and 90± Acres of Marsh Located in the Golden Isles of Coastal Georgia. Located just 25 miles from the Prestigious Shorelines of Sea Island, Georgia .... Black Island Estate is a 107± Acre Waterfront Estate With 17± Acres of Upland and 90± Acres of Marsh Located in the Golden Isles of Coastal Georgia.. Black Island is accessible by a causeway and is only 10 minutes by boat from the historic town of Darien, Georgia which was established in 1736. Winding thru a mossy canopy covered lane to arrive at the front gates, it is almost impossible not to instantly feel a wave of relaxation wash over you as you experience the views this peaceful setting has to offer. Situated on the Darien River with Black Island Creek running along the west border .... it affords 180 degree views of water and absolutely magical sunsets. Black Island Estate includes a King’s Grant from King George of Great Britain that dates back to the 1700’s and gives you access to the surrounding 90+/- Acres of Marshland. On the west border, just across Black Island Creek, sits the Historic Fort King George, a fort built in 1721 by the British which served as the southernmost outpost of the British Empire in the Americas until 1727. The home is a spacious 3000 square foot heated living space, with front and back porches to enjoy the spectacular water views and breathtaking sunsets. Every window in the home affords water views of the marsh and surrounding rivers. It has a glassed-in sun room, perfect for painting and taking in the beautiful surroundings, with 10’ ceilings throughout, wide open hallways with 3 spacious bedrooms and full baths. There is a cozy wood burning “tabby” fireplace in the living room that fills the home with warmth during the chilly winter months. The attic is unfinished and provides plenty of storage space if needed. A detached three car garage with an unfinished living space above could easily be finished and be the perfect space for a caretaker's quarters. All exterior walls, including the tractor barn and garage, are treated 2 X 6s. All interior walls are 2 X 6s which have been insulated for noise reduction. The home is sheathed with real plywood. The floor system consists of treated 2 X 12s on 12” centers and sub-flooring is a double layer of 5/8ths plywood. The plumbing is copper, all windows are Anderson and the fireplace has a double flue and is constructed of block and brick. There is an existing 25 X 20 Hen House that would allow you to raise your own chickens and have organic fresh eggs. It could easily be converted to a Green House for those that have a green thumb or possibly want to plant their own garden. The large open lawn/pasture area could easily accommodate a couple of horses for the equestrian lover or possibly a couple of cows if you were interested in becoming a self-sustaining property. There is an existing tractor barn and equipment shed to store all items one might need. Tucked between the dock and the house is a 1/2 acre stocked pond. It is 17’ deep with artesian water flowing from the 800’ deep well connected to the aquifer that serves the home. This is free flowing water which needs no electricity so you never have to worry about a fresh water source. The well head is near the concrete swimming pool and has a valve that controls flow to the pond. To keep the water level of the pond constant, the valve can be adjusted so that the inflow equals evaporation. It is the perfect spot to fly fish for the fresh catch of the day. The existing dock has a 13,000 lb. covered boat lift w/ dock house. There are 35 to 45 foot deep waters on the Darien River frontage portion which provides the perfect place to build a second dock to accommodate larger boats. It is easily navigable in any sport vessel, sailboat or yacht. The Intracoastal Waterway is a short 15 minute boat ride from Black Island, just up the Darien River. 35 min to Atlanti
