Update on the “Egret Tree” at DeBordieu
A couple of months ago I blogged about the egrets nesting behind the Miller House on Island Green at DeBordieu, just south of Pawleys Island. I was showing property down there today and snapped this shot. The baby egrets have hatched and are beginning to leave the nest! I have never, EVER seen so many egrets in one tree. In fact, we’re all calling it the “Egret Tree.”

The best view of the “Egret Tree” is from the back porch of the Miller House, which, by the way, can be had for $1,195,000 which is a great value for a gorgeous 5 bedroom home so close to the beach. Click here for complete details.

Oh….and the lot next door is a steal for just $400,000. This photo was taken from the roof top deck of the home just behind it.

The picture demonstrates how close it is to the beach, and the 217 feet of lake frontage on the back. It also provides a great view of the “Egret Tree!” Click here for more pictures.

On a personal note: I have a baby leaving the nest as well. Tomorrow I am flying with Joey to Ithaca College in New York for orientation. I know just how those momma egrets feel. I’ll be back in the office on Thursday, just in time for the big 4th of July weekend and celebration at DeBordieu! Exciting times!

Pretty Porches make for Perfect Properties!
It’s summertime at DeBordieu and that means it’s porch time!
Some of the prettiest porches in the Pawleys Island area can be found in the different neighborhoods of DeBordieu. In fact, the lady that owns the porch on the left told me when she bought her lot that she wanted to build a big, beautiful porch, and attach a little house to it! The home is a bit bigger than she originally had in mind, but she sure did get her porch.

Whether you choose to be oceanfront, on the island, overlooking the creeks of North Inlet, or on DeBordieu’s spectacular Pete Dye Golf Course, we’ve got a porch with your name on it.

The porches pictured here are all from homes currently listed in DeBordieu.

Click on the picture to view the home, then email or call me to let me know what you think.

Hit the Roof at DeBordieu!
Ocean breezes and breathtaking views of the Atlantic, North Inlet and Hobcaw Barony are best seen from some of the roof top decks at DeBordieu, just a few miles south of Pawleys Island, South Carolina. Having grown in popularity over the past few years, rooftop decks not only increase the view potential, but also a home's marketability.

With some decks, you ascend a stairway or built-in ladder and pop a water-tight hatch to get up to the roof to enjoy the views and wonderful ocean breezes.

With the house on the right, on DeBordieu's Island Green, it's a bit more convenient, you just walk up the stairs from the back deck on the top floor, and there you are, with convenient access to the powder room for when it's time to take a break. Enjoy your sunrise coffee, sunset cocktail, or a day of sunbathing!

"The Unexpected Visitor" at DeBordieu!
About 15 years ago, I was blessed with the experience of meeting Margaret and N.B. Baroody when I was given the opportunity to assist them in choosing a homesite in DeBordieu. Since then, they've become not only two of my favorite clients, but also, two of my favorite people.
The Baroody's second book of inspirational passages and gorgeous photography, much of which took place at DeBordieu has now been published. I would like to share this publication with you at a book signing this Wednesday, May 26, 2-5 p.m. at the Baroody’s home, 256 Ocean Green Drive, on the south end of DeBordieu’s island. Margaret Baroody will be on hand to sign copies of the book that will be available to purchase.

The added bonus is that this home is also listed for sale, so you will have the opportunity to preview the home for any clients or friends that may be interested in a near beach value.
Click here for information about the home.
If you plan to come, and are not an owner at DeBordieu, please call me at 843-455-4523, or email me at TroiKaz@DeBordieu.com, so that I can insure that access is arranged for you at the security gate.
If you are unable to attend, but are interested in the book, please know that it will soon be available at local bookstores, or it can be ordered directly from the publisher’s website, http://www.jogglingboardpress.com/books/unexpectedvisitor.html. There is also another local book signing scheduled for Wednesday, June 19 at Harborwalk Books in Georgetown from
1-3 p.m.
I hope to see you Wednesday!
