A Private Deep-Water Retreat on Whooping IslandThere are places on Edisto that feel wonderfully removed from the world, where the water becomes part of everyday life and privacy is measured in acres rather than fences. 8176 Rosa Scott Road is one of those rare places.Set on 10.69 acres of Whooping Island, this exceptional waterfront property offers tidal-deep water along Whooping Island Creek, expansive creek views, a private dock with boat lift, a mature fig tree orchard, a substantial barn and workshop, pond, and a beautifully designed reverse-floor-plan home that takes full advantage of its remarkable setting. Just across Edisto's concrete ribbon bridge and directly across from Dawhoo Boat Landing, the property feels peaceful and private while remaining connected to the islandInside, an open floor plan, high ceilings, dramatic vaulted spaces, plantation shudders, hurricane-rated windows, and 8-foot-tall glass doors in the water-facing rooms bring the surrounding landscape into the heart of the home. The second floor serves as the primary gathering level, with a spacious living area, beautifully appointed kitchen, dining space, and primary suite. The light-filled kitchen features quartz countertops, extensive cabinetry, double ovens, a gas cooktop, high-powered vent, generous island, and ample bar seating. Open to the dining and living areas, it creates a natural gathering place for family and friends.
