The architect and owners of High Bar did a magnificent job with the details, furnishings and overall ambiance. Brick pavers lead the way between each guest cottage and converge at a giant fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs. The guest cottage bathrooms each feature double vanities with hand painted sinks – each different and unique. The ceilings are vaulted with exposed wood beams. Even the smell of wood inside is fabulous!

I’m secretly (okay, not so secretly) hoping for an overnight invite so I can personally test out the gourmet kitchen. I can image sharing many memories at this retreat with friends, family, and a few good books. And believe me, I am not at all the “outdoors” type. There is something incredibly elegant and peaceful about this particular place that just works.

But, for the “outdoors” types, High Bar is situated on 200+ acres with ample opportunities for hunting, fishing, kayaking, boating, etc. A beautiful, sugar-white sand beach on the bank of the Satilla River lies just downhill.

If you are in the market for a unique, one-of-a-kind hideaway, you owe it to yourself to check out High Bar Retreat. An absolute steal at $995,000.

Working in real estate, I frequently tour beautiful homes that span all price ranges. That said, my reaction to a visit of 1909 Dixon Lane was completely unexpected. This home is quite exceptional– magnificent, actually! Even with professional photography, the images do not capture the details that set this home far and above other luxury estates.

With more than 7,400 square feet, which includes a separate carriage house, this home has plenty of room for grand gatherings. Recently, we invited Chamber Members over for evening cocktails, while a pianist tickled the ivories on the grand piano. With an early evening sunset, happy hour at Dixon Lane was an extravagant treat.

Another appealing feature of 1909 Dixon Lane is its private oceanfront setting on St. Simons Island. Situated behind natural dunes, with a large open space between the house and the beach, no beach-going onlookers can peer over into your private space.

The owners of Dixon poured countless hours into selecting original, one-of-a-kind, fixtures, such as the antique brass ship lanterns flanking the mahogany front door. Or, the Murano glass tiles that adorn the butler’s pantry. A personal favorite are the antique beams covering the carriage house ceiling.

The master suite is a complete indulgence. Occupying the entire third floor, there are separate his and hers baths, closets, and dressing rooms, heated towel drawers, a private balcony, exercise area, and more. Did I mention the panoramic ocean views?
