Home to over 2 acres of self-sustaining island oasis and a rare two-dwelling waterfront estate, 5188 Timber Race Course is located near the prestigious Stono Ferry community in Hollywood.
Hidden beyond a private driveway that leads to a tranquil koi pond at the entrance, the serene retreat offers expansive water views that draw the eye to open living rooms, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. With a chef’s kitchen and broad porches, the interiors seamlessly link with outdoor spaces ideal for relaxing or entertaining.

From there, the primary suite flows gracefully into its own private wing, where the bedroom and spa-inspired bath create a secluded sanctuary apart from the main gathering areas. The resort-like property, jointly listed by Misti Cox, realtor for King & Society Real Estate and Construction and Christy Whitlock, sales associate at ERA Wilder Realty, also features a second-floor gym overlooking the Stono River which is complete with its own balcony, perfect for sunning and enjoying the river breezes.
“With its traditional floor plan, the home has great bones, structure and light,” Cox said. She added that the property also has self-sufficient conveniences such as a gas-powered generator and a climate-controlled garage with a stainless-steel sink that’s useful for gardening or dog washing. “Car enthusiasts will love this property because there’s so much space in the two garages,” she added.
The private deepwater dock, which includes a lift and floating dock, accommodates larger vessels. With a direct approach to the Intracoastal Waterway via the Stono River, the location is perfect for fishing, cruising to Charleston or docking at Bohicket Marina. Beyond the home are irrigated raised beds that support a true farm-to-table lifestyle. Whitlock explained that there’s also room to put in a pool.
As a bonus, the 800-square-foot detached guesthouse is a secondary dwelling with a full kitchen, bedroom and living area, perfect for guests or multigenerational living.
Ownership includes premier amenities at The Links at Stono Ferry such as access to the championship golf course, equestrian facilities and the celebrated Steeplechase of Charleston, junior Olympic pool, tennis and pickleball courts, clubhouse dining and walking trails.
Another benefit of the property, according to Whitlock, is its proximity to Edisto Beach as well as Charleston and Kiawah for shopping, dining and immersing in the rich history and charm of the Lowcountry.
