Cassique Neighborhood Adds New Cottages To the Mix

Real Estate | Cassique



Kiawah Island Real Estate recently released three new floor plans available for the Cassique Garden Cottages. After listening to requests and recognizing the demands of the market, improvements have been made to this exceptional product.

The floor plans and elevations have been artfully reconfigured so that buyers can get the most house for their money without sacrificing quality and space. In fact, each new floor plan now has more total square footage offered at a new, lower price. Mayfair (Plan F) has 3,228 square feet of heated living space, Surrey (Plan G) also has 3,288 square feet, and Devon (Plan H) features approximately 3,674 square feet. Each of these plans also includes an option for a fourth guest suite located on the second floor. The Mayfair, Surrey, and Devon are available in the $2-million price range.

Each new Garden Cottage affords large, well-planned spaces with distinctive designs that pay homage to the Arts and Crafts movement of the 19th century. Exquisite craftsmanship and natural materials are paramount, with a variety of interior layouts and thoughtfully-selected exterior choices to create and preserve diversity and integrity within the neighborhood.

All exteriors will be styled with Arts and Crafts elements such as buttresses; Vermont slate, clay tile, or wood-shingled roofs; copper guttering; and textured or smooth stucco infused with shells. Centered around a garden courtyard, Kiawah’s mild climate will allow you to enjoy outdoor living year-round.

The Arts and Crafts aesthetic continues throughout the interior with woodwork that emphasizes the strength and quality of materials including 7’6”-doors with a width of 1 3/4”, European oak flooring, and stone and tile choices for all baths. Generous small-paned windows have been imported from Europe and manufactured by Gayko to give each home the authentic look and feel of the movement.

Kitchens will be outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances, natural stone countertops (granite, marble, or limestone), and furniture-grade cabinetry. Living rooms will include pre-cast stone or wooden mantel and fireplace surrounds. Your home will be updated with the latest technology including a security system and network wiring in each bedroom and living area.

If you prefer additional options, features such as a lap pool, summer kitchen, special wood flooring or trim, and alternative cabinetry, just to name a few, are also available.

At Cassique, you will become part of a special community. The neighborhood, designed exclusively for Kiawah Island Club Members, is the only community that puts you within walking distance of an array of Club amenities and offers streamlined access to Freshfields and Charleston.

The Cassique Garden Cottages are located adjacent to the Cassique Clubhouse, affording the Island’s most convenient access to Tom Colicchio-inspired dining at Voysey’s; acclaimed golf on a course designed by the legendary Tom Watson; and the Sports Pavilion with tennis courts, pool, squash court, and an unparalleled fitness environment. As Club membership is requisite, The River Course, Sasanqua, and Beach Club amenities are also afforded residents in this enclave of excellence.
