AMAZING Marsh-view Kiawah Island home with 5 BDs, private pool!
Tucked within The Preserve, one of Kiawah Island's most coveted enclaves, 181 Bull Thistle Lane offers nearly 4,800 square feet of refined Lowcountry living with sweeping marsh views that will stop you in your tracks. Set on over a half-acre of lush, private grounds, this five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bathroom retreat is the ideal base for families and groups seeking space, serenity, and the very best of the South Carolina coast.
Wake up to the sights and sounds of the Lowcountry marsh — herons wading at the water's edge, golden light playing across the cordgrass at sunrise, and the kind of stillness you simply can't find anywhere else. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee on the deck or watching the evening sky ignite over the wetlands, the views from this home are nothing short of extraordinary.
Inside, the home's generous footprint provides comfort and privacy for everyone in your group, with five well-appointed en-suite bedrooms spread across multiple levels. The open living spaces are designed for easy entertaining, with room to gather, dine, and relax together after a day on the island.
Kiawah Island itself is a paradise — 10 miles of pristine Atlantic beaches, world-class golf including the legendary Ocean Course, miles of paved bike trails winding through maritime forest, and abundant wildlife at every turn. Freshfields Village is just minutes away for dining and shopping, and The Sanctuary Hotel is close by for spa days and fine dining.
