Southern Living Idea House open for tours on Johns Island

JOHNS ISLAND, S.C. (WCBD) — Southern Living has selected Johns Island as the location for its 2024 Idea House, and now just feet from the Kiawah River, you will find the brand-new property that cultivates the love and labor of local artists, designers, and architects.

The house is around 4,400 square feet with five bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, a guest quarter above the garage, and a pool. However, what might be most appealing is the waterfront views and coastal landscape.

The president of Dillard-Jones Builders, Tom Dillard, who helped build the home, said this played an integral part in the home’s design.

“This whole house was designed to maximize the views out of every room since we are on this great waterfront area,” he explained.

Southern Living has featured Idea Homes like this one across the South for over 30 years. The goal is to spark inspiration for readers as they partner with architects, builders, and designers to build the house from the ground up in the span of a year.
