Seabolt Real Estate Announces Record $5.1M Sale on Isle of Hope, Award-winning Sales Associate Taavo Roos Represented Both Sides
Originally built in 1848, this charming three-bedroom, two-bath home is nestled on a four-acre deepwater site on Bluff Drive with spectacular views of the Skidaway River and includes a private covered dock with boat lift. The 4,498-square-foot cottage, which is surrounded by a canopy of mature live oak trees, was sold by the estate of the late Noel Wright, Jr., a lifetime Isle of Hope resident with deep ties to the waterfront community for nearly a century. Roos declined to disclose the identity of the buyer, but noted that the buyer is local.
“I’m incredibly honored to negotiate the landmark sale of this historic Isle of Hope home in an iconic location in the heart of Bluff Drive,” said Roos. “This spectacular property includes an estate-sized deepwater lot that is rarely seen in the Savannah-area market as well as unparalleled water views.”
First settled in 1736, Isle of Hope is a bucolic riverfront community located on a horseshoe bend of the Skidaway River approximately eight miles southeast of downtown Savannah. Featured in movies ranging from Forrest Gump to Glory, the Isle of Hope Historic District offers an alluring mix of architectural styles, including Greek Revival, Victorian, Neoclassical and Craftsman.
“Taavo did an exceptional job finding the perfect buyer for this impressive Isle of Hope estate,” said Seabolt Real Estate’s founder and Broker Elaine Seabolt. “He has a strong commitment to helping clients buy and sell real estate throughout the greater Savannah area.”
Roos has sold more than $500 million in real estate and has earned a reputation as one of Savannah’s leading real estate professionals. He finished as the #1 individual real estate agent in Savannah and Chatham County for three consecutive years (2023, 2024 and 2025) and was ranked the #5 individual real estate agent in the State of Georgia in 2025.
Among his notable sales, Roos represented the buyer in the $8.4 million sale of a spectacular 4.5-acre waterfront estate originally built by Food Network star Paula Deen, which was the highest residential sale in Chatham County history. He also holds the record for the highest-priced residential sale in Tybee Island history, representing the sellers of 21 Teresa Lane in a $4.2 million transaction.
