HGTV Cofounder Kenneth Lowe Lists Georgia Mansion for $42 Million
Kenneth W. Lowe, cofounder of HGTV, along with his wife Julia, has listed their Sea Island property, known as LoweTide, for $42 million. If this price is achieved, it would set a record as the priciest home in Sea Island, eclipsing a nearby residence that sold for $30 million in December 2025. This listing ranks as Georgia's second-most expensive home, following Chestnut Hall, valued at $46.8 million. The Lowes acquired the estate for $9.1 million in 2017 and completed a comprehensive four-year renovation, with Julia leading the design, inspired by her Parisian experience. The 11,000-square-foot home features five bedrooms, nine bathrooms, custom finishes, and luxurious amenities, including a quatrefoil pool and a four-car garage. Susan Imhoff of Deloach Sotheby's International Realty is managing the listing. In 2021, Lowe purchased a condo at One57 in New York City for $12.7 million.
