New Savannah Private Community Makes Debut In a Private Nature Sanctuary Across The River
SAVANNAH, GA – July 13, 2010 – One of the best new addresses for Savannah real estate may soon be in South Carolina.
That’s what many realtors are saying about Telfair Plantation – a 562-acre neighborhood community with 74 homesites tucked into a nature sanctuary just north of the city and over the Savannah River.
Located only three miles from the Talmadge Bridge and downtown historic district, Telfair Plantation adjoins the Savannah School of Art & Design’s Sports Complex and Equestrian Center. Telfair will have 60% of its acreage preserved in perpetuity, and it is bordered by a National Wildlife Refuge.
Cora Bett Thomas, president of Cora Bett Thomas Realty, one of the region’s most prominent realty firms, believes Telfair has several unique qualities that will soon make it one of the most desirable Savannah real estate opportunities. For those seeking a genuine town and country lifestyle in the Savannah area, Telfair will be about as good as it gets, said Ms. Thomas. Nowhere else around here can you find such large estate lots in a private setting so close to our city’s downtown historic streets with all of the great restaurants, culture and nightlife that Savannah offers.
Jeff Whitlow, co-manager of North Savannah Properties, LLC, the developer of Telfair, said the community will offer both homesites and customized homes. He said purchasers can select a designed home that will fit ideally on one of Telfair’s lots, which range in size up to four acres.
The architectural character and site planning for each home anticipated at Telfair contributes to making this private gated neighborhood an exceptionally attractive place to live and a legacy of lasting value, said Whitlow.
Ms. Thomas said prices for homes will begin at to $775,000. When it comes to Savannah homes for sale, Telfair will be very competitive.
The Telfair community comes with its own historic heritage. It was the focus of a prestigious rice plantation in the early 1800’s owned by Edward Telfair, a noted patriot of the American Revolution, member of the Continental Congress and twice governor of Georgia.
