At Spring Island on South Carolina's lush Low Country coastline, a magnificent 3,000-acre maritime forest surrounded by 3,500 acres of pristine marshland has been transformed into an extraordinary master-planned community that preserves a rare slice of American wilderness for the exclusive enjoyment of fewer than 400 families. The centerpiece of this remarkable development is a private Arnold Palmer-designed golf course that is widely viewed as one of the finest residential courses in the country. The community also maintains an impeccable 30-acre equestrian facility with 35 miles of riding trails, private tennis and fitness facilities, community boat docks; 33 freshwater and saltwater fishing lakes 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 masterfully with their natural surroundings, Spring Island homes have set an architectural standard for Low Country islands, creating a supreme sense of tranquility just half an hour from Hilton Head and 45 minutes from downtown Savannah.
