989± Acres

INTRODUCTION

During the height of the Industrial Revolution, America’s business elite began migrating southward— drawn by the warmer climate, abundant wildlife, and unmatched tranquility of South Carolina’s coast. Pawleys Island, a place that came to embody the phrase “Arrogantly Shabby,” became a haven for those seeking refined simplicity and unspoiled natural beauty.

Today, Pawleys Point carries that legacy forward. Spanning approximately 989 acres from Kings Highway to the tidal waters of Pawleys Creek, this extraordinary property combines privacy, scale, and ecological diversity rarely found along the eastern seaboard. Within its boundaries lie ancient maritime forests, longleaf pine ridges, saltwater wetlands, and over 3,000 feet of creek frontage offering direct access to Pawleys Creek and the Atlantic inlet.

A conservation easement held by Pee Dee Land Trust allows for a limited number of dwellings—ideal for a family retreat, hunting lodge, or private coastal compound—while preserving the natural habitat for generations to come. Deer and turkey are abundant, and the longleaf pine areas provide the perfect setting for released quail coveys. A retention pond already in place could be developed into a managed duck impoundment, creating exceptional waterfowl habitat.

With easy access to Charleston and Georgetown and the quiet luxury of total seclusion, Pawleys Point represents the rare intersection of sport, conservation, and coastal heritage—a Southern landscape preserved in time and ready to become the next great legacy property of the Lowcountry.
