Kiawah Island is a private residential resort community 21 miles south of Charleston. This 10,000-acre barrier island, just 1.5 miles across at its widest point, has more than 10 miles of beachfront. Approximately 4,000 properties some within 13 neighborhood villages and 28 regime associations make up the island. Kiawah Island real estate living offers some of the most exquisite and pristine islands in South Carolina, and dare I say the United States. The beaches of Kiawah Island feel almost untouched, and they offer some of best views, nature, and serenity anywhere in the world. A private gated community about 45 mins from the Charleston airport and the city of downtown, Kiawah Island resort is home to abundant wildlife, immaculate landscaping, stunning landscapes, and preserved nature and exclusivity that only the privileged gets to enjoy. Considered by many to be the “Hamptons of the South”, Kiawah (and Seabrook) boasts 7 immaculate golf courses (5 semi-private) and two (membership only), tennis facilities, walking trails, and wildlife for days. Kiawah Island real estate consists of beachfront luxury homes, villas, condos, and fractional ownerships starting as low as the $200ks for a few weeks, to well over $10 Million for homes on the ocean. All homes for sale are custom, well-appointed, and designed to feel like they were woven in and amongst the palms, marsh, live oaks, and oceanfront that grace the island. Properties available are, golf homes & condos, waterfront villas, vacant lots on Kiawah to build new construction build new, and if tennis is your thing there are even condos near tennis courts. There is an “uber” luxury 5 star hotel called The Sanctuary that lives up to its name.
