Lady's Island, South Carolina Real Estate

Lady's Island Real Estate Offers Rural Flavor For Prospective Beaufort Real Estate Buyers

Lady’s Island lies just eight minutes across the picturesque swing bridge from Beaufort SC. Lady’s Island feels as though it’s an extension of Beaufort, yet Lady’s Island is a bit more rural. Once home to indigo plantations and the domain of fishermen and shrimpers, Lady’s Island is where Beaufort's first country club community designed for retirement living was built.

Lady's Island has miles and miles of waterfront, making for prime Beaufort real estate. Since Beaufort homes for sale on Lady's Island were built property-by-property rather than by neighborhood, the homes of Lady's Island real estate reflect individual styles. There are even a few luxury condominiums on the water, plus majestic new mansions and more modest homes and cottages. Many have private or shared docks.

Celedon Village is one of the newest communities on Lady’s Island. You’ll know it by the tower, welcoming residents home.

Homesites for row houses, villas and cottages are available starting in the mid $80s.  

The 400-acre Coosaw Point is located mid-island. Coosaw Point has a rich history from the time when Native Americans thrived here. Pottery shards are often found, relics of the earliest inhabitants of Coosaw Point. Most recently the area served as a private hunting preserve.

Coosaw Point is situated near the Intracoastal Waterway, which runs along two sides of Lady’s Island with the mostly-deep-water Lucy Creek on the eastern side.
