Edisto Island

EDISTO ISLAND

Overview
Gentle ocean breezes, historic plantation homes, and natural wildlife habitat are all integral parts of the Edisto Island experience. This charming sea island was once home to some of the nation’s wealthiest indigo, rice and cotton plantations, and retains its old-world grandeur amid a tasteful blend of championship golf courses and stylish neighborhoods.

Many of the grand old properties on the island date to antebellum and colonial times, and Edisto is dotted with sites on the National Register of Historic Places. Edisto Island real estate offerings feature waterfront homes and lots along miles of sandy beaches, marsh creeks, rivers, lagoons and the Intracoastal Waterway.

A pleasant 30-minute drive to downtown Charleston takes drivers past a remarkable array of colonial country churches and house museums, as well as the highly-acclaimed Post Office Restaurant and the internationally-renowned Edisto Island Serpentarium.

Lots and home sites throughout Edisto Island are graced with massive oak trees and banks of colorful azaleas, as the island’s rich soil creates a green paradise. Sailing, yachting surf and deep sea fishing are popular pastimes on Edisto, which maintains the feel of a remote barrier island, while affording world-class properties and amenities.
