HGTV Creator Lists Oceanfront Estate for a Record-Breaking $42 Million
The custom-built Sea Island property known as “Lowe Tide” belongs to Ken Lowe and his wife, Julia Baker
The Georgia home of HGTV creator Ken Lowe and his wife, Julia Baker, has hit the market for a whopping $42 million, a record-breaking price for the Peach State. Located at 106 East 18th Street in Sea Island, the .75-acre property boasts five bedrooms, nine full baths, and one partial bath. The oceanfront estate, known as Lowe Tide, was custom-built in 2021.
“Sea Island is known for exceptional properties, but Lowe Tide represents a level rarely seen even within this market,” listing agent Susan Imhoff of Deloach Sotheby’s International Realty tells Galerie. “Every detail was executed with an extraordinary degree of intention and craftsmanship, from the hand-carved millwork by J.P. Weaver and bespoke Clive Christian cabinetry to the custom Officine Gullo chef’s kitchen built on site for serious culinary performance.”
Imhoff continues, “The scale, privacy, and architectural integrity of this estate place it among the most significant homes to come to market on Sea Island in recent memory. For buyers who understand legacy properties and generational estates, Lowe Tide is the kind of offering that may not present itself again for years.”
Design highlights of Lowe Tide consist of hand-carved moldings by J.P. Weaver, bespoke hardware by P.E. Guerin, custom cabinetry by Clive Christian, and museum-quality Saint-Louis crystal lighting, across more than 11,000 square feet of living space.
Other amenities include a La Cornue range in the primary kitchen, and a professional-grade chef’s kitchen by Officine Gullo, complete with walk-in refrigeration, an adjacent chef’s office, and food prep areas.
Additionally, the sprawling dwelling features a Parisian-inspired dining room under a skylight, a paneled library and bar, guest accommodations that include a third-floor suite with elevator access, and a primary suite with custom dressing rooms, dual studies, and marble-clad baths. Idyllic views of the Atlantic Ocean can be seen from the rooftop terrace, which also boasts a solarium and loggias.
