Located in the Lowcountry of South Carolina along the Colleton River, Spring Island’s architecture and amenities are carefully woven into a landscape of natural beauty. Residents of this Okatie, South Carolina, gated community situated in between Bluffton and Beaufort say this isn’t a community with a nature preserve, but it’s a community within a nature preserve. Boasting only 400 homesites on over 3,200 acres, this ultra low-density private island community was only home to 4 families for over 200 years who preserved the island in its natural state for unparalleled hunting, fishing and complete enjoyment of nature. Today, preservation remains the mission of Spring Island owners.
This is a community of artists and golfers, shooters and paddlers, students and farmers, wine connoisseurs and naturalists. The Club’s programming is designed not only for leisure, but for learning. Guest artists and lecturers help stimulate the mind, while a host of outdoor activities help to reinvigorate the body. In addition to the private Arnold Palmer-designed golf course, The Old Tabby Links, Spring Island also offers an 30-acre equestrian facility with 35 miles of riding trails, a 20-acre farm and a native plant nursery, private tennis and fitness facilities, community and private boat docks; 33 freshwater and saltwater fishing ponds and a 1,200-acre nature preserve and wildlife education center.
Homesites range in size from cottage lots to estate lots of two acres overlooking marsh and rivers, to expansive 10-acre homesites secluded among giant Live oaks and towering loblolly pines. Designed to blend with their natural surroundings, Spring Island homes have set an architectural standard for the Lowcountry, creating a sense of tranquility just half an hour from Hilton Head and 45 minutes from downtown Savannah, and a little over an hour from Charleston.
