Love golfing and looking for your dream house?
Dataw Island is your answer!
Located just outside of historic Beaufort and bounded by the Morgan River and Jenkins Creek, the 870-acres Private, Gated community of Dataw Island offers superlative golf, a wide range of watersports, excellent club facilities and gracious homes, all in the casual lifestyle and abundant, natural beauty found only in the Lowcountry of South Carolina.
Dataw Island has long been known for its thoughtful master plan which is sensitive to the environmental concerns of the island while creating well-designed homesites with great orientation.
Your home choices at Dataw Island include approximately 20 distinct floorplans as well as the flexibility to modify any of these plans to meet individual needs and tastes.
Dataw Island offers single-family homes with marvelous views of the marsh, the riverfront or the fairways of either Cotton Dike or Morgan River golf course. Homesite prices begin at $75,000, homes begin at $300,000 to $3 million and an excellent selection of pre-owned homes are also available.
Consistently placing high in the published ranking lists of preferred communities, Beaufort and Dataw Island have been named among the top choices in the nation for retirement living for many years.
Fortune magazine, New Choices magazine, a Reader's Digest publication, and Where to Retire magazine have all singled out Dataw Island and the surrounding Beaufort area as ideal places to purchase a vacation home or eventually retire to. And in January 2004, Where to Retire named Beaufort one of their eight "Great Low Tax Towns."
Dataw Island seems made for Lowcountry golf, and Cotton Dike, the first golf course created here, had the perfect designer for the job, Tom Fazio. An experienced architect who has made a name for himself for the waterfront courses he has designed, Fazio took particular advantage of an unusual landscape coaxed out of the Carolina marshes by a series of dikes which were originally intended to create more land for cotton fields during the great Plantation days of Dataw Island.
Almost half of the 18 holes lie along the marsh and Jenkins Creek, a wonderful contrast of the natural beauty of the Lowcountry and the precision design of the Cotton Dike course. Of course, with so many natural watery hazards, the 18 holes of Cotton Dike require thoughtful strategy and consistent accuracy.
Morgan River, the second course built at Dataw Island, is a striking example of Arthur Hills' handiwork. Narrower than Cotton Dike, the Morgan River course demands even greater accuracy, but well rewards every disciplined shot. The beauty of the course is dramatic with breaks in stands of massive oaks creating frames for water views of the Morgan River and the savannahs beyond.
Dataw Island's expanded Clubhouse is designed to serve as the heart of this warm, friendly and active community. Its sweeping staircases and tall windows recall the best traditions of the Lowcountry and its relaxed style of living. Just beyond the Clubhouse there are eight Har-Tru tennis courts, two championsip-caliber lawn croquet courts and an outdoor pool.
The Community/Fitness Center includes an Aerobic/Exercise Studio with a specially designed floor that cushions even high impact activity, making workouts easier on the knees, ankles and other joints. Dataw already offers regular aerobics classes and the expanded studio will help provide a wider range of class times and activities. The Weight Room offers a huge variety, from treadmills and stairclimbers to free weights and a wide selection of weight machines. Ease post-exercise aches and pains in the whirlpool.
A new year-round pool, covered and heated, enables residents to enjoy lap and recreations swimming, water aerobics, physical therapy exercise and water sports any time. The Community/Fitness Center also offers a library with space to exhibit arts and crafts and multi-purpose activity rooms designed to hold small meetings, card parties, or craft and hobby groups such as quilting, needlework, book and investment clubs and flower arrangers. |
