Intimate waterfront neighborhood taking shape in the heart of Charleston
October 8, 2017
The Daniel Island Company has presented its plans for a small island enclave that is connected by bridge to the “mainland” of Daniel Island. Captain’s Island is a 90-acre island located off the north end of Daniel Island and edged by Ralston Creek and the Wando River. It is envisioned as a waterfront settlement inspired by coastal Lowcountry villages such as Rockville and Mount Pleasant’s Old Village, with streets and homes thoughtfully placed around the island’s most valuable natural assets – its trees and coastline. The first homesites will be offered for sale in mid-October.
“Captain’s Island represents a rare opportunity for residents to enjoy a very special coastal lifestyle. Intimate in scale and remote in feel, it’s conveniently connected to Daniel Island and Charleston, so it really offers the best of all worlds,” said Matt Sloan, President of the Daniel Island Company.
Although separate from Daniel Island’s mainland, the residents at Captain’s Island are also nearby the amenities of the Daniel Island Club, including 36 holes of golf by Tom Fazio and Rees Jones, resort-style swim, tennis and fitness offerings, a clubhouse for dining and entertainment and several indoor and outdoor dining venues. Purchasers of homesites on Captain’s Island will become social members of the Club and will have the option to expand their membership to include all of the Club’s recreational offerings.
“The homesites on Captain’s Island are among the last we have to offer on Daniel Island,” says Sloan. “They also represent our very best property. It’s unusual for a developer to save the best property for last and Captain’s Island represents a culmination of more than 25 years of our team’s development efforts.”
Daniel Island Real Estate is accepting contracts for the first offering of 31 homesites on the southeastern edge of Captain’s Island later this month. These homesites will begin in the $300,000s and range to more than $1million for dockable waterfront sites. For additional information, visit www.captainsislandsc.com.
