Dewees Island Real Estate
Located just off the beach of Isle of Palms, this oceanfront community has the highest regard for the natural habitat and wildlife which inhabit the shoreline. The size of the lots average two acres with a limit* to the size of home that can be placed on the property. Restricted by the Island Covenant, only 150 homesites will ever be available on Dewees, and only a handful of properties remain. Houses are restricted to 5000 sq. feet of living space in addition to the porches and decks.
The beach and oceanfront homes offer a relaxed and peaceful environment for people who delight in escaping the hustle and bustle of the Isle of Palms, but can also appreciate the closeby convenience. Although it may sound inconvenient to travel to and fro by ferry or private boat, the island residents actually cherish the secluded peace and natural beauty of this beachfront get-a-way.
A full-time naturalist lives on the island and works with owners and guests with an educational program. The island is a fall flyway for birds and one often spots osprey, eagles, wood storks, wading birds, owls, ducks, seagulls, and assorted raptors. Wildlife includes bobcats, foxes, deer, raccoons, alligators, and snakes. Summer Camps is available for children of all ages and field trips are offered during the year for school kids once a week.
*The homes are surrounded by natural vegetation as there are no lawns allowed. Lots have restricted use of only 7500 sq. ft. of the lot for building.
POA fees (for either a lot or a home) are approximately $7300 per year and include unlimited use of the ferry for owners. Some guests and workers pay for riding the ferry.
