About 1261 Otter Slide Loop
Welcome to your coastal retreat with panoramic marsh views along the Julienton River. This well-maintained 4-bedroom, 3-bath home offers the perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and convenience—near the serene fishing community of Shellman Bluff. Enjoy expansive marsh frontage just minutes from local restaurants, charming shops, and a nearby boat lift. You’ll be near Sapelo Hammock, a scenic golf course offering over 2 miles of challenging marsh-front play. Inside, you’ll find engineered hardwood flooring throughout, abundant natural light, and generously sized bedrooms—including two primary suites for flexible living. The upstairs suite, complete with a full bath, is ideal for guests or extended family. For your peace of mind, recent updates include a new range, microwave, dishwasher, laundry room refrigerator, two 50-gallon water heaters, full inspection and repair of all deck wood, a new double-stair side entrance, and—new in January 2025—a 3.5-ton American Standard heat pump system. Nestled between a wooded lot and a lightly used weekend home, the property offers both privacy and tranquility—and sits safely above the flood zone at 16 feet elevation. Unwind on the expansive covered back porch, feel the coastal breeze, and sip your favorite drink while watching the sun set over the marsh.
