## Description

### Agent Description
Total tranquility! This cozy three-bedroom ranch is high on the bluff on the Sapelo River facing east looking out over the Sound. No doubt one of the most stunningly beautiful views on the Georgia coastline. This peaceful property is perfect for boaters or retirement. You will enjoy your morning coffee in the sunroom or the enclosed-in front porch while watching the sun rise and shrimp boats pass by. The association dock allows for deep-water access direct to the Atlantic Ocean and surrounding island areas. Keep your boat, golfcart and other recreational vehicles in the large, detached garage. The nicely maintained county boat ramp for easy launching is just a few blocks away.Come enjoy the unique laid-back coastal lifestyle.
