As the sea islands begin to bloom, award-winning residential firm Brightwater is bringing a fresh approach to intentional coastal living at its premier “agrihood” community, Kiawah River. Nestled within 2,000 acres of pastoral waterfront on Johns Island, SC, Kiawah River was conceived as a sanctuary where the spirit finds serenity and the home exists in perfect balance with the great outdoors. This March, we invite you to step inside 4023 Chantey Crest, a move-in-ready retreat that masterfully blends timeless Southern charm with a crisp, modern aesthetic designed to celebrate the turning of the season.

A Modern Aesthetic Inspired by Nature’s Canvas Drawing inspiration from the light-filled ambiance of the coast, the design at 4023 Chantey Crest embraces a palette of soft whites, simple textures, and natural materials. At the heart of this gracious home, modernity and simplicity come together in a chef-appointed kitchen where warm wood cabinetry extends to the ceiling, complemented by a serene blue island that serves as a stunning focal point. This open-concept space is framed by an expansive window wall, ensuring that the picturesque views remain an integral part of your daily rhythm.
Thoughtful Blending of Indoors and Out True to Brightwater’s philosophy that “form follows function,” this home cultivates a deep connection to the natural world. The breathtaking vaulted fireside family room features a grand slider door that dissolves the wall between the interior and a covered, screened porch. Complete with its own outdoor fireplace, this space is ideal for enjoying cooler spring evenings while listening to the distant sounds of the river. The main level further prioritizes ease and elegance with a vaulted primary suite—a peaceful retreat featuring a spa-inspired bath—and a private guest suite that offers visitors a secluded sanctuary of their own.
Sustainable, Eco-Forward Construction at Brightwater, we believe in building healthier, more efficient homes with true respect for the environment. It’s only fitting then that 4023 Chantey Crest is built to Zero Energy Ready performance standards. This home is thoughtfully designed with the infrastructure already in place to easily add solar panels, proving that sophisticated living and environmental stewardship can share the same branch. With a 4-car tandem garage and a versatile second-floor loft, the design balances everyday functionality with high-performance sustainability.
A Community Intricately Woven with the Land Beyond the doorstep, Kiawah River invites you to a life lived in harmony with the land. From the community Goatery and working farm to the resort-style amenities and miles of private nature trails, every facet of this neighborhood is designed to align with the rhythms of nature. It is a place where you can roast marshmallows over crackling fire pits or grab a rocking chair to enjoy the view of the Appalachian foothills’ coastal counterpart.
Open Hours: Monday – Friday: 9 AM – 5 PM Saturday & Sunday: 10 AM – 5 PM
