Fripp, Dataw and Harbor Islands Real Estate & Homes for Sale in South Carolina

The picturesque communities of Harbor Island, Fripp Island and Dataw Island, located in the heart of SC Lowcountry, make the tranquil island paradise, ordinarily found in books and movies, a reality for a combined population of 5,850 permanent residents. The Lowcountry is made up of 64 main Sea & Barrier Islands. Filled with native flora and fauna, these three waterside villages are visually stunning.  Miles of white sandy beaches, natural reefs, wild flowers and grasses, old growth Oak trees draped in Spanish moss, dolphins, birds, deer and countless other species of exotic and native animals abound here.  The proximity from the islands to neighboring Charleston and Beaufort, not to mention Savannah, Georgia, means you can enjoy the vacation-like lifestyle that these islands offer without sacrificing the conveniences of modern urban amenities.  All three islands feature some, if not all, of the following facilities: Clubhouses, swimming pools, tennis courts, golf courses, health and yacht clubs and beach access.  Fripp Island offers 3,000 acres of private waterside resort surrounded by marshland and natural rivers.  While the number of permanent residents peaks at 800 annually, up to 3,000 will set up residence seasonally.  A bit smaller and less regulated is its neighbor to the south, Harbor Island, which is known for its focus on nature preservation.  Dataw Island, like its neighbors, is popular with golf, fishing, shopping and lounging enthusiasts alike.  870 acres of waterside and natural marshland provide landscape for your dream home.  Nicknamed the “Garden of Eden” during the Civil War, this island has a plethora of historical quality.  It is also unique for its full service Marina facilities. Real estate options consist of single-family homes for sale, estate properties and condominiums and townhouses.
