Homes at Kiawah Island

As more and more people migrate to the coast of South Carolina for rest and relaxation, developers have answered by providing a number of ways to find your place in the sun. For a select few, the choice has become Kiawah Island. Homes at Kiawah Island set the standard in a number of ways, making the island resort one of the most exclusive and well-respected coastal resorts in the country, if not the world.

My first visit to Kiawah Island began with a 20-minute ride from downtown Charleston, SC, along a designated South Carolina Scenic Highway covered by a canopy of live oak trees draped in Spanish moss. Making the journey to take a look at homes at Kiawah Island certainly helped bring to home the great appeal of Kiawah. Not only is Kiawah located in a remote area near the beautiful city of Charleston, but it also works very hard to keep the Island secluded and natural. Homes at Kiawah Island go through a stringent review process as they are being designed and built, with an eye towards creating communities that exist in harmony with nature rather than conquering it.

Many of the homes at Kiawah Island are in areas carved out of natural habitats for herons, cranes, egrets and the like. The homes along the beach are designed to work to preserve the natural beauty of the Island rather than re-create nature in our own image. From the colors used in creating the homes of Kiawah Island to the way in which they are positioned on the lots, great attention is given to preserving the beauty of the Island.

As a result, the homes at Kiawah Island have some of the most amazing views of tidal marshes, meandering streams and the unspoiled beaches. Walking and biking trails wind throughout the Island, as residents use the pathways for rest and relaxation. The views of trees and marshes are interrupted by an occasional, world-class golf course . . . eight in all!

As you consider a place where you can become one with nature and still achieve a wonderful and elegant lifestyle, then the homes of Kiawah Island can fit the bill. There is so much to show you, and touring Kiawah Island is the only way to really experience the lifestyle.
