Known to some as the Hi/Lo House, 5909 LaRoche Avenue captures the spirit behind its name, where the laid-back beauty of the Lowcountry meets an elevated way of life on the water. Set on more than 14 private acres along the Herb River, the 1928 residence is surrounded by moss-draped oaks, gardens, marsh, and sweeping water views, all just minutes from downtown. The acreage extends into the surrounding marsh, preserving the expansive coastal views that make the setting so special. Inside, the home is gracious and inviting, with light-filled rooms, panoramic views, and four bedroom suites. An additional room offers flexibility, with a full bath just steps away. The lower level extends the home's versatility with generous recreational space, a full bath, and abundant temperature-regulated storage, ideal for fitness, hobbies, collections, and seasonal belongings. This property is designed for a life that moves easily between indoors and out. Retreat to the cottage with full bath, while the party barn provides an unforgettable setting for dinners, celebrations, and long evenings with friends. Wander through the gardens, tend the raised beds and beehives, gather around the oyster pit, or follow the earthen causeway to the private dock, complete with a boat lift, drive-on floating dock, and screened dock house. By boat, The Wyld is just around the corner, the Yacht Club about five minutes away, and barrier islands within easy reach. Substantial improvements have been made throughout the estate, thoughtfully addressing systems, infrastructure, and key secondary structures while preserving the character. Furnished by Savannah artist Bellamy Murphy, the interiors feel collected, sophisticated, and deeply connected to the creative spirit of the city. Furnishings and artwork are also available for purchase. More than a waterfront home, this Savannah estate is made for gathering, retreating, entertaining, and experiencing the Lowcountry at its finest.
