About 1316 Walthour Road
A ONCE-IN-A-GENERATION LOWCOUNTRY UNICORN. For the first time in 30 years, an impossible-to-replicate waterfront empire is officially up for grabs on Wilmington Island. This isn’t just a piece of real estate; it is a legendary 0.896-acre peninsula draped in a breathtaking canopy of ancient, moss-dripping live oaks. Offering total, uncompromised privacy, this expansive marsh and waterway frontage is entirely bounded by three iconic waterways: the mighty Savannah River to the north, the winding Wilmington River to the west and south, and the wide-open Bull River to the east. This kind of geographic rarity is a true coastal holy grail that you simply cannot buy or build today.The maritime infrastructure here is absolutely unmatched, boasting a massive 809 SF private wooden dock, a 220 FT dock house made for catching river breezes, and a 6x20 floating dock providing exceptional tidal access for your boats and skiffs. It even features a rare, solid drivable lawn corridor straight to the water's edge for effortless gear loading. While you custom-design your grand coastal masterpiece, you can live comfortably or generate premium immediate rental income in the fully renovated, 712 SF detached guest cottage. The primary 1942 traditional masonry home (2,929 SF, 3BR/3.5BA with 17 solar panels) features a fully functional upper level, while the lower level sits cleanly gutted to the framing about 3 feet up the wall following historical tidal flooding from Hurricanes Matthew and Irma—providing an absolute blank canvas to build your ultimate Southern legacy. Take in sweeping views, golden marsh sunsets, and endless river breezes from this iconic vantage point on Georgia’s historic coast. Soak in panoramic views, dolphin sightings, and pure peace. Complete with its own private deep well and dual septic tanks, this rare coastal jewel is sold strictly AS-IS. This is a trophy property for cash buyers, builders, or renovation visionaries who recognize a true "never again" opportunity!
