DeBordieu HOT Deal of the Week!

Heads UP Nature Lovers!

This 4BR, 4.5 bath Lowcountry Home is located on almost an acre lot adjacent to DeBordieu’s nature preserve that backs up to Hobcaw Barony’s 17,000 acres of land that’s been put in a trust for education and research. (Nice neighbors!)

Solid ICF construction, reinforced with ribar, offers the beauty of a stucco look, with the stability, comfort, low maintenance and low energy bills of concrete.

The first floor of this 3490 htd. sq. ft. home offers a beautiful Foyer, Dining area, Kitchen with Wall oven, Granite Countertops, & wet bar with icemaker, Family room, Master suite, Laundry room, Powder room, and spacious Screened Porch. 

Upstairs offers two bedroom suites, each with their own bath, built-in shelves, and window seats, separated by a den. 

Over the 3 car garage is the spacious 4th bedroom suite with its own bath. The pickled cypress walls in the main living areas give this charming home a rustic, beach cottage quality. 

One other thing I really like about this house, is that the driveway is hidden from the street, so you could keep your boat parked back there and the ARB would never know…. Unless, of course, they read my blog. Which they don’t. At least I don’t think they do…….(oops).

Once Through the Private Gates.....

Elegant homes, exceptional amenities and some of South Carolina's most beautiful coastal scenery come together to set the framework for a community of exceptional standards.

The rhythm of the ocean. Gentle waves stirring cool ocean breezes. An egret poised on the banks of a peaceful marsh. A feeling of calm is inescapable. It is a pace that compliments the natural beauty of the 2,700 acres that are DeBordieu.

For generations, families have embraced this quietly tucked away community as a place to reconnect. From traditional oyster roasts, elegant dinner dances and Friday evening mixers to a wide variety of clubs and holiday festivities, social activities are designed to enhance DeBordieu's innate sense of community."

DeBordieu Golf, "An 18-Stop Nature Tour"

Pete Dye and his son, P.B. Dye, designed a beauty at DeBordieu, the private beach front golf community just north of Charleston, South Carolina. 

Golf at DeBordieu can be described as an exhilarating 18-stop nature tour. In fact, I had a real estate client last year who called his wife and said, "Honey, I've found the perfect spot! It's a private golf course in the middle of a nature preserve!" He bought a house that day, and is living happily ever after. 

The Dye's designed a challenging, but playable course that meanders through the stunning marshland of DeBordieu and is defined by its signature 17th hole - voted "number one" on the Grand Strand.

There has never been a better time to consider a purchase at DeBordieu.

DeBordieu... It's a Wonderful Life.

If your dreams are of a place where nature is as protected as it is breathtaking and where a very private lifestyle of comfort, leisure and good taste flourishes, then DeBordieu is where you’ve always wished you could live.

As you enter the private gates and catch views here and there of DeBordieu’s 2700 awe-inspiring acres, you’ll quickly realize that DeBordieu is in a league of its own. Uncrowded and very peaceful, this exclusive, low-key coastal hide-away is a place where generations of families enjoy the perfect blend of splendid isolation and unmatched social and recreational amenities. It is, indeed, the very best of Carolina living.

Seek Sanctuary Here and find home.

You could travel around the world and never see more spectacular beaches than here at DeBordieu. Wide and welcoming, they are shell-covered and stretch for miles. And no matter the season, they never seem crowded.

But the ocean is only the beginning. All around you are freshwater lagoons and ponds, meandering tidal creeks, acres of golden marshlands, fish-filled channels and lush maritime forests. In fact, DeBordieu is surrounded by undisturbed forests and wildlife preserves including 600 acres given to Clemson University for the study and protection of this unique habitat. And within DeBordieu, less than half of its 2,700 acres are zoned for homesites and villas.  So it’s never a surprise to catch all sorts of wildlife roaming freely throughout the community. 

With all these incredible waterfront settings, our residents can immerse themselves in a multitude of related activities.  There’s the ten-acre Beach Club complex that’s always the center of fun and relaxation.  The community boat landing and docks are loved by boaters.  And everything from fishing, shrimping, crabbing and oystering to swimming, sailing and kayaking offers unforgettable escapes from the pressures of everyday life. 

DeBordieu begins at the sea and flows inland along freshwater creeks, wetlands and tidal creeks.

 No matter how you slice it, golf is a favorite pastime at DeBordieu.  That’s due in large measure to the extraordinary design of the DeBordieu Club course by Pete and P.B. Dye.  It has received countless awards, ranks among the top layouts in the state, and if you love golf, it will lure you back day after day.  The Club is the private domain of members and their guests, so you can play almost any time you like.  And after a leisurely round, you can head back to the comfortable surroundings of our stunning Georgian-style Clubhouse.

The food and entertainment are as varied and appealing as everything else at DeBordieu.  Members can experience Lowcountry cuisine at its best in the oceanfront Beach Club, enjoy live musical entertainment at the Blue Heron Beach Grill, or relax at our Oceanside pool and gazebo bar.  If you love tennis, you’d be hard pressed to find a better place to enjoy a game than the Tennis Center’s eight Har-Tru courts – many of which are lighted for night play.  And our walking and bike paths provide endless opportunities for enjoying the great outdoors at DeBordieu year round. 

Everyone is part of the family at DeBordieu.  So no matter what your interests may be, there’s always something on the social calendar that will appeal to you.  From traditional oyster roasts, elegant dinner dances and Friday evening mixers to a wide variety of hobby clubs and holiday festivities, you and your family will be warmly welcomed to join in the fun!

DeBordieu is truly a world apart, yet our secluded setting is only minutes away from some of the most appealing cities and attractions in the South.  The charming communities of Pawleys Island and Georgetown provide all the necessities of life and a great deal of enjoyment besides.  Romantic Charleston, with its exceptional assortment of restaurants, shopping, historic sites and cultural events, is just and hour south of our main gate.  And exciting Myrtle Beach, about 45 minutes north of us, also offers its own amazing array of dining establishments and shopping, nightlife, live entertainment theaters, and more than 100 championship golf courses. 

A Collection Of Communities Create The Diversity Of DeBordieu Colony

As with any community, DeBordieu is a collection of neighborhoods.  Each is unique and residents live among others with similar interests and tastes.  The ocean community is comprised of homes directly on or very near the Atlantic.  Their wonderful views are rivaled only by their architecture.  When you visit DeBordieu, the abundance of marshes and creeks leading into North Inlet and the ocean beyond becomes evident.  The residents of the marsh community call these beautiful areas home, and many even have private docks.  Pete Dye knew the fairways of his course would one day be lined by our golf community, so he made sure it was as beautiful as it was challenging. The coastal forests of DeBordieu have for millennia nurtured life and provided sanctuary to native wildlife.  Little has changed, so forest community residents can enjoy the same in their very own backyard.

DeBordieu Owners Care about Nature!

They buried the lead! All week long I’ve been seeing articles pop up here and there about the Beach Renourishment project at DeBordieu, the oceanfront community just north of Charleston, SC. At the END of one of the articles, I found the most important quote, by Lanning Risher, a DeBordieu property owner that has watched DeBordieu develop for about 40 years. He said, “you couldn’t find a group of people who care more about nature than the people at DeBordieu.’’ I agree! I’ve been involved with DeBordieu since 1986. Everyone I’ve ever met that was involved in development or interested in becoming a part of this very special place was attracted to the overwhelming respect for nature DeBordieu property owners have.

In a nutshell, last month, the DeBordieu Colony Community Association decided to amend their current permit which included a long term plan of groin installation, to a shorter term plan of once again renourishing the beach by adding sand, but not the groins. It has been a very successful project in the past, will be much more palatable for those that opposed the original groin permit, and, if all goes as planned, will probably happen next winter. I’m ok with all that. It will cost less in the short term, which, in the current financial climate will be good for many current owners, and for those looking to purchase property here. Hopefully, a longer term solution will be re-visited down the road.

The Egrets! They're Baaa-aaack!
We encourage "nesting" at DeBordieu, in more ways than one! And there's no place the egrets in the neighborhood like better than "The Egret Tree" behind the MILLER HOUSE on Island Green. While showing the house today, I shot a little video:

Nesting is a natural instinct shared by birds and humans alike, when preparing a home for their families. In birds it is known as "going broody", and is characterized by the insistence to stay on the nest as much as possible, and by laying new eggs.
Egrets nest in colonies, building nests in medium-sized trees. The nests are built of small sticks, usually over or near water, and sometimes lined with softer materials like grasses. Usually, 3, pale bluish-green eggs are laid. Both parents take turns incubating the eggs and feeding the chicks.
This colony of egrets is nesting in DeBordieu Colony, on a gorgeous tree, in the middle of a lagoon in the Island Green neighborhood, across the street from the beach.


The pictures were taken from the back porch of the Miller Home, which is an incredible value, currently for sale at $1,175,000.
