Thirty acres of Lowcountry marsh and maritime forest on St. Helena Island — one of the last large, undeveloped tracts in Beaufort County, and one of the most culturally significant landscapes on the Southern coast. Tidal creeks, spartina flats, and open water views. Excellent kayaking, crabbing, and inshore fishing. Roughly five acres of upland forest sit above the tide line. Minutes to Penn Center, Hunting Island State Park, and historic downtown Beaufort. An hour to Savannah. Be clear on what this is: primarily tidal marsh, not a buildable homesite. About 24 of the 30 acres are mapped wetlands and 22 sit in the FEMA flood zone; elevation tops out near six feet. No delineation or OCRM critical line survey has been performed. Any development would require wetland delineation, SC DHEC/OCRM review, and federal Section 404 permitting.
