23 Ruddy Turnstone is a beautiful home packed full of history. This five bedroom, five and half bathroom home is your luxury vacation home located 4th row ocean on a beach path just steps away from the beautiful Hilton Head Island beach. Originally built in the 18th century, this home was moved to Sea Pines in 1963. Dubbed the "Freedom House" - this architectural masterpiece is filled with character & charm. It underwent a major remodel and expansion - the original bricks, beams, doors, mantels + railings leave all of the character that makes this such an amazing home. There is exposed brick throughout and truly just beams with architectural charm & charisma.

**PLEASE NOTE: Sea Pines has scheduled an infrastructure improvement project at Beachwalk #47, which is located directly adjacent to the home, beginning sometime mid to late October 2026 and continuing through early spring 2027. During the project, Beachwalk #47 will be closed and guests will use Beachwalk #46, located one street over, for beach access. Due to the project's proximity to the home, construction activity and noise should be expected on weekdays during daytime hours. No weekend work is currently planned.**
