This fabulous house on Harbor Island is everything you dream of in a beach vacation home, but offers all the comfort and coziness of a primary residence. (Why not be “on holiday” all year long?!)

Just 300 feet from the beach, the home is nestled in a quiet culde-sac, along a quaint canal with a rookery that flocks the surrounding trees. With an ocean view from the front and an expansive marsh view from the back, the house offers one stunning scene after another!

Just over the bridge from historic downtown Beaufort is a spot that’s destined to make history of its own. There on the edge of Lady’s Island, where change has come slowly and a “spruce up” is long overdue, a dynamic new community is evolving that will forever change the face of the Factory Creek waterfront.

Set near the picturesque Lady’s Island Marina, Factory Creek Village – planned as a vibrant, mixed-use community – is a wonderful work in progress. According to Matt Trumps of Tideland Realty, thirteen deepwater, single-family home sites are available, with several homes already under construction and a few completed.

The past is always present in historic downtown Beaufort. And nowhere is that presence more vivid than in the Old Commons neighborhood, where stands the lovely Miles Brewton Sams House.

Built around 1815 in the classic, T-shaped Beaufort style, the main house occupies a spacious half-acre – a rarity in downtown Beaufort – which also boasts a guest cottage, green house, croquet court, and garage/carriage house. Surrounded on three sides by beautiful old churches, the estate is bordered by a lush garden of cedars, azaleas, and a century-old pecan tree.

Easy Living

With the cooler days of fall upon us, our thoughts turn to the glories of the great outdoors. Our moods lift with the humidity. We throw open our windows and vow to live in closer harmony with nature, to bask more regularly in the beauty that surrounds us here in the Lowcountry.

Just minutes from historic downtown Beaufort, people are doing just that, and they’re doing it all year round. With its sparkling beaches, wooded lagoons, sun-tinged marshes, and rolling golf courses, the barrier island of Fripp is calling you out to play. Better yet, it may be calling you home.

One of Beaufort’s newest communities feels, in many ways, like one of its oldest. Combining the friendly, familiar appeal of a traditional walking neighborhood with thoroughly modern amenities and conveniences, Overlook at Battery Creek is truly the best of both worlds – and an ideal place to call home.

Neo-traditional neighborhoods are growing up across the country as more Americans long for the lifestyle of a simpler, happier time. Built along beautiful Battery Creek, Overlook features graceful houses with spacious front porches, classic neighborhood streets, discreet back driveways and yards sized for casual living. Sidewalks are close enough to encourage conversation – and friendship – while the scenic waterfront location inspires quiet reflection. Along with interior property, both marsh and lagoon sites are still available for building.

Fortunately, there are still plenty of treasures – and even some bargains – to be found on this splendid barrier island.

On South Carolina’s treasured coast, nestled in lovely Newpoint community, this elegant home is reminiscent of “Moon River” and overlooks the most sought after deep waters of Factory Creek. Wrought iron gates open to lush botanical gardens surrounding the house, resplendent with flowering azaleas, camellias, and tropical plants.
