Large great room (20' x 23') with heavy timber 24' cathedral ceiling with open beams & collar ties, 48''-wide SuperHearth raised fireplace & stone chimney to the ceiling. Large triangular windows high in wall light the great room from dawn to dusk.Wooden tongue-in-groove wall boards throughout the house match the log walls & open-beam ceilings. Solid wood walls means you can hang anything anywhere. Modern master bath with tempered glass bay-window alcove inset with raised-deck whirlpool tub fully tiled, dual flush toilet, plus glass/brass-enclosed shower. 2nd floor with cathedral-style timbered ceilings, including: intimate loft (overlooking great room), 2 bedrooms, closets, bath + 3 attics. Solid wood floors: distressed pine downstairs, oak upstairs. Wood-style Venetian blinds & Roman-style linen shades. Kitchen with Italian tile flooring & computer-work station alcove (hard-rock maple counter), premium KraftMaid framed cabinets (solid hickory); 53 square feet of Brazilian granite counter tops with imported Dutch Delft tile backsplashes, matching island with vegetable sink, direct & indirect cabinet lighting; gas range & oven; Highly energy-efficient Carrier cooling & heating systems (electric). Rinnai tankless instant hot water heater (gas); refrigerator/freezer with water/ice dispenser. Deep-water well (560') & Crane whole-house water filtration & softening system, septic system with pumping station, modified sub-surface septic field. 150-gallon LPG tank buried in ground. All toilets pressure-assist, low volume flush. Electric system with Surge Guard protection (secondary surge arrestor). Centrally wired for both cable & satellite TV & Internet upstairs & down (incl. kitchen). Fully lighted exterior at night with timers & motion sensors & security alarm system. House sits on 3.97 acres (.89 ac. cleared high & dry, 3.08 ac. wooded wetland). Grass yards surround house, vacant fields on south side, 1200 ft. private road access. 21.7 ft. above MSL, occupying the highest part of Johns Island, protected from flooding & Cat. 4 storm surge. Designated Flood Zone X, flood insurance is not required.Fire Department is .56 mile away; schools are 1 mile, & shopping & county park are 2 miles near. Lots of churches. Amazing Angel Oak & park (1500 year old living oak tree is close by (the oldest living thing east of the Rocky Mountains). Kiawah & Seabrook Islands & public ocean beaches only 12 minutes down the road; 3 minutes from the Intra-Coastal Waterway & river boating, fishing, crabbing, etc. Johns Island is a wooded barrier island covered with a maritime forest, with lots of creeks, streams, ponds & marshes. Abundant wildlife include all manner of marsh birds, duck, geese, peacock, hawks & ospreys, deer, wild hog & turkey, bobcat, etc. Many horse farms & stables (Johns Island is a ""horsey"" place). It is still heavily populated with vegetable & fruit farms which are a plentiful source of fresh fruits & vegetables. No road on the island is wider than 2 lanes, many of them beautifully covered with over-arching canopies of ancient oak trees strewn with hanging moss. The wide beach on Kiawah Island stretches uninterruptedly for 9 full miles, all freely accessible through the local county park (charge for parking only).Constructed to be green & energy efficient, 8""-thick wood logs have a high natural R-value in insulation, complimented by double glazed thermal windows, steel roof, gas stove & tankless instant hot water system (8 gal./min.). The result is the house is cool in summer, warm in winter, & heats water only as needed! It consumes less energy & costs less to operate than comparable houses in the area. It uses less than 1/2 the electricity as the neighbors & consumes less than 300 gal./yr. of LPG (150 gal. buried gas tank). The log house is heavy & solidly built w/ foundations on thick continuous footers, ensuring strength+solidity. It is fully strapped from foundation to roof, bracketed & bolted every 18 inches to solid stem-walls, & with a steel roof, it is built to withstand hurricane & earthquake. Added to all that is the ambiance of log-home living, bright with the light of large windows & French doors opening on the front deck. Woodsy atmosphere, yet only 23 mins. from downtown Charleston, 12 mins. from Kiawah beach, & 5 mins. from fishing & boating on the Stono River. Deer & wild turkey abound. Very modern kitchen, lots of granite counter space & solid wood cabinets (lit from above & below). Dual zone air conditioning/heating for separate control upstairs & down. Crane water filtration & softening system produces 1.5 gal./min. (expandable to 3 gal. or more), with water tank (1,010 gal. capacity) located in water shed. The filtered & softened well water is more delicious than bottled water, & is smooth & soothing to the skin in the bath & shower. The master bedroom suite w/ large walk-in closet is located on the first floor, north side, & it is naturally cooler in the warm weather. The master bath is bright with light from its bay-window alcove (with whirlpool tub built into a tile-lined deck), glass & brass shower. In its style, proportions, construction & location, the house appeals to our sense of elegance & modernity, while still satisfying a desire for the traditional ambiance of log homes without being overly rusticated or feeling lost in the woods.
