Jayson Williams Puts South Carolina Home Up For Sale

Filed under: Estates, Sports, Crimes and Misdemeanors

Saying it's a been a rough few years for Jayson Williams is a bit of an understatement. Williams, once a top NBA basketball player with the New Jersey Nets, has been serving a five-year term for accidentally shooting and killing a limo driver and just a couple of weeks ago he was in court on drunk driving charges. He admitted that he was drunk when he crashed his SUV into a tree in January, a week after he pleaded guilty in New Jersey to aggravated assault in the death of limo driver Costas Christofi. He was given a one year sentence on top of the five-year sentence he is already serving.

It's no surprise then that his home in Bluffton, South Carolina is on the market. Williams is currently in the midst of a divorce and has two young daughters. This home is not the home where the shooting occurred. That home, a massive estate in New Jersey has since been sold, renovated and is back on the market for $13.5 million. The Bluffton home in the Berkeley Hall community has unfortunately not been free of controversy either. Earlier this year the NY Post reported that the estate had been robbed of more $150,000 in sports memorabilia, electronics and jewelry including a pair of autographed Tiger Woods golf shoes and handwritten lyrics by Tupac Shakur.

The seven-bedroom home is on the Okatie River and has a guest house over the garage. The double-height living room has river views and a massive fireplace. The homes opens onto foyer with twin sweeping staircases and a pool with views over the river. It is listed for $2.7 million.

Savage Island, Estate of the Day

It's private island time again. This time we are headed to Savage Island, a 413-acre private island adjacent to Hilton Head, South Carolina. The island can be reached in five minutes from a private residence, dock and boat landing on the mainland in Bluffton, SC. The Island and mainland properties are protected by the nature conservancy and the island is a private nature preserve with deer, quail, ducks, heron, wood stork, ibis and shore birds. At the center of the island there is a ten-acre saltwater pond that is home to large spot tail bass and flounder for fly fishing. And big game fishing opportunities for mahi mahi, tuna, marlin and sailfish is within easy reach.

You aren't really buying for the house in this case but the three-bedroom home is a series of pavilions. One is the master suite with his and her baths. A second pavilion is home to a great room that is surrounded by expansive screened porches for outdoor dining. The third pavilion contains the two additional bedrooms and a bath. The compound also includes stables, paddock, dog kennels and a caretaker home. It is listed at $15 million. After the jump, you are going to need a boat or maybe several boats.
