Overview

Luxury Homes for Sale in Spring Island, Bluffton, SC

Spring Island is a private sea island community covering an expansive 3,000 acres in Beaufort County, South Carolina.

It gracefully sits along the Colleton and Chechessee Rivers and is surrounded by carefully preserved coastal forest. Private estates and waterfront properties beautifully blend with the nature reserves, ponds, and majestic live oak trees, resulting in a picturesque setting that seamlessly integrates with the environment. The recreational buildings, grounds, and amenities also complement the landscape rather than compete, creating an inviting outdoor playground. Spring Island is an exceptional choice if you’re looking for a place to call home amidst South Carolina’s unspoiled surroundings.

PRIVATE NATURAL RETREAT: Spring Island, SC, is one of the last great private sea islands and the nation’s first conservation-based development. Of the 3,000-acre expanse, over 1,100 acres are safeguarded by the Spring Island Trust, ensuring the land remains pristine. It is a low-density community with only 400 home sites contributing to the preservation efforts. Wildlife is abundant, with frequent sightings of herons, wood storks, kingfishers, ospreys, and bald eagles. Despite its secluded ambiance, the island is connected to the mainland by a bridge, offering a tranquil lifestyle without sacrificing convenience.

WATERFRONT BLISS: Spring Island is where the Colleton and Chechessee Rivers meet, and the picturesque Port Royal Sound stretches out towards the Atlantic Ocean. It also has thirty-six fresh and saltwater ponds, providing numerous spots to cast a line. Enjoy reeling in shrimp, oysters, flounder, redfish, largemouth bass, trout, and bream. For those looking to explore beyond fishing, the Outfitter Center is a fantastic resource, offering equipment for kayaking, boating, and other aquatic activities. Embrace the waterfront lifestyle, combining relaxation with a touch of adventure.

ENDLESS LEISURE ACTIVITIES: Spring Island boasts top-tier amenities, starting with the Arnold Palmer Golf Course, one of the finest in the country. The Equestrian Center features nearly 30 acres of pastures and paddocks, plus 30 miles of trails to explore. The 13,000-square-foot Sports Complex is packed with activities, from sports courts and a temperature-controlled pool to massage suites, a yoga studio, and a fully equipped gym. There’s even a children’s waterfront treehouse for kids. Outdoor adventures abound with quail hunting courses, a 20-acre farm, and a native plant nursery. It also has a vibrant artist community where you can immerse in ceramics, printmaking, photography, floral arranging, and more.
