River Oaks is located in the ACE BASIN which features the Ashepoo, Combahee and Edisto Rivers and is one of the largest undeveloped estuaries along the Atlantic Coast. Premium opportunities for Turkey and deer hunters, and great fishing from either of the two docks on a gated canal leading to the Combahee. The canal and 5 ponds on the property serves as a premier habitat for aquatic birds year-round, and as a resting place for migratory ducks . Although Public Landing has a boat launching ramp, the present owner has been launching his Jon boat from the graveled road leading to his private boat house and nearby dock. A second dock in River Oaks is located on the canal down a private RTV trail which terminates into a peninsula ideal for a sunset cocktail, or wine and cheese appetizer at sunset. The Combahee and exterior River gate are visible from the second dock. Two enclosed elevated deer condominiums are located amid shooting lanes in the back of the property. Portable heaters have enabled the present owner to hunt regardless how cold the weather may be. There is a well-developed road system throughout the property to enable hunting and sightseeing. The area of River Oaks adjacent to the Combahee is a mix of wetlands, hardwood ,wetland vegetation, swamp, cypress trees, and planted pine. A 135 Yard rifle and pistol range is on the property with a heavily built commercial bullet bunker to eliminate the potential for lead contamination and to provide a safer place to zero rifles and practice shooting. As you enter the property through the electric wrought iron gate, to the right is a 2400 sq. ft. equipment shed with two electric overhead doors and adjacent to it a FEMA certified Safe-Shed storm shelter, which is a 24,000 pound concrete and steel building intended to provide safety in storms or severe tornadoes. As throughout the property, everything has been carefully thought out. There is a Generac backup generator that provides power to the storm shelter, which is air conditioned and heated, as well as the equipment shed and water well. The well provides water for both cleaning at the shed and irrigation. The driveway past the gate and fencing leads to the inner property where the main house, firepit, carriage house (5 car garage), and guest house are situated. All residential buildings have been continuously upgraded with additions having been added to the main house in 2014. The roof on the guest house was recently replaced in December 2024, and the roof on the main house was replaced in approximately 2020. Both roofs were installed by Professional Roofing out of Bluffton, and are under warranty. There's a graveled floor firepit area complete with picnic tables and Adirondack Chairs. A fenced garden area with raised boxes is located near the carriage house and irrigation from the nearby well. The house Main was designed as one of the last projects of Doug Corken, a well-known Lowcountry architect. A wide screened porch with burnt poplar screen doors keeps the porch nearly bug free while you sip your mint julep under the cool breeze of the numerous overhead paddle fans. The cypress ceilings on the porch ceiling add to the aesthetics. The exterior of the house has six large trapezoidal windows. One window for each of the vaulted ceilings in the four bedrooms, and two windows at each end of the main living room with its massive fireplace. The Carolina room in the main house faces the canal. The full length of the Carolina room is covered with windows for unobstructed view of wildlife and the canal. It was completed in approximately 2015 at the time the screened cook shed is was built . The screened cook shed is great for entertaining and is approximately 1,000 Sq Ft. under roof. The deck behind the guest house's main bedroom was replaced in 2025, and wooden hand railing on the deck and steps were replaced with durable black metal. A chimney lies just outside of the guest house which would make a great spot for an outdoor fireplace. Approximately 1 hour to Charleston or Savannah, 30 minutes to Beaufort. 45 minutes to Hilton Head.
