On Pointe at DeBordieu

DeBordieu Residence

Commanding what is considered one of the most breathtaking views on the Atlantic Seaboard, this magnificent home is located in DeBordieu, a very private, ocean front community just north of Charleston, South Carolina.

Anchoring the small marsh and creek front enclave of Colony Pointe within DeBordieu, the property has been painstakingly renovated by its owners over an 18 month period. Every facet of this residence reflects the care and thought that went into the restoration.

The main living and entertaining level supports a wonderful flowing floor plan, with form and function being beautifully married throughout. The modern kitchen opens onto the large outside deck and patio via retracting glass walls with the bar and media areas immediately adjacent.

The Master suite occupies the top level of the home, again with retractable walls so the owners may have totally unobstructed views for several miles.

There are four additional bedrooms, baths, an office, and laundry on the two upper levels, while the lower level of the home has a completely self sufficient apartment for friends, family members, or staff. That level also has an additional full laundry, an exercise room, ample storage, as well as an enormous screened entertainment area designed for grilling and cocktail parties.

The floating dock accommodates two boats for use within the creeks or directly accessing the Atlantic. For those who demand the very best, the availability of this home represents a once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire an absolutely spectacular property in one of the East Coast’s premier oceanfront communities.

Conveniently located about an hour north of Charleston, and about 45 minutes from the Myrtle Beach airport, DeBordieu is quietly tucked away, yet convenient to shopping, dining and medical facilities in the small town of Pawleys Island, and the historic port city of Georgetown, SC.

Pawleys Island Style Presents Ultimate Comfort and Luxury

Luxe Living: Pawleys Island Style

“Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise, it’s not luxury.” ~ Coco Chanel

Coco would have loved this traditional “Pawleys Island Style” beach house at DeBordieu because it’s about as comfortable as you can get, yet it’s very close to luxurious fine dining, private championship golf, and miles of spectacular beaches.

Located about an hour north of Charleston, South Carolina, Pawleys Island is one of the oldest summer resorts on the East Coast. In the Early 1700s, families of rice planters who owned plantations on the rivers nearby would come to Pawleys Island to escape the heat, mosquitoes and malaria. The seashore was considered much healthier, and much more comfortable. Each year they would come in May, and stay until about November.

Twelve of those original Pawleys Island residences still remain in the historic district where people still come to enjoy a care-free, laid-back lifestyle. Homes and cottages have been built since then in the same casual, comfortable style that is perfect for family gatherings. The term, “Arrogantly Shabby” has been coined to refer to those great older homes and cottages and some of the newer residences that mimic their casual design.

Walk this way: experience the beach at your fingertips

Just a couple miles south of Pawleys, this DeBordieu beach home located at 20 Sea Biscuit Court, it has that same, rustic, comfortable “Pawleys Island Style” that promotes good times with family and friends. Whether you choose to walk the 6 ½ miles of secluded beach, fish in the creeks of pristine North Inlet, or play a round of golf on DeBordieu’s Championship Pete Dye Golf Course, having a comfortable home to return to will certainly enhance your experience.

Boasting 6 bedrooms, 8 baths, and 5400 heated square feet, its located on a huge corner lot on a quiet cul-de-sac. You can watch the sunrise over the ocean from the wraparound screen porch, or the sun deck . While it’s not directly on the ocean front, it is right next to the beach access path providing quick and easy access to DeBordieu’s 6 ½ miles of beach. The drive through garage offers an opportunity to easily store and access your boat for a day in the creek. Other features of the home include: Heart Pine Floors, 2 Living Rooms, Formal Dining Room, Breakfast Room, wet bar with ice maker, 3 water heaters, 2 heat pumps, 2 fireplaces, 2 ovens, 2 outdoor showers, Jacuzzi Tub, Steam Shower, cedar lined closets, abundant storage and plenty of parking.

At the asking price of $1,398,200, 20 Sea Biscuit is one of DeBordieu’s best values, and would be an excellent addition to the DeBordieu Rental Program. Coco Channel would have loved it!

Charming Southern Beach House

House with a view

This oceanfront home at DeBordieu represents the very best in design, materials and quality construction you would expect to find in this private, gated community just north of Charleston, South Carolina.

While a beach house by definition, the owners spared no expense in creating great style and function so their family could experience the pleasure of being able to get away from it all at the beach, while surrounding themselves with the comforts and amenities they would want at their full time residence.

According to Architect Wayne Rogers of Catalyst Architects, “the design intent was to tuck the kitchen away – yet leave it open to the Living and Dining Rooms, keeping it on a diagonal axis with the fireplace.”

The ocean-side porches wrap around the Kitchen, Living and Dining Rooms to take maximum advantage of the prevailing SE sea breezes. The view of the Atlantic is spectacular.

The Master Suite is located on the main floor, as is the Library, which was placed away from the activity of the Living room to keep it quiet and private. Upstairs, each of the four guest bedrooms has their own bath, and share a large sitting room. A door at the top of the stairs allows the upper level to be closed off from the Main Living Level of the house.

On the very top level, there is additional attic space which can easily be converted into a studio or sixth bedroom, and access to a roof top deck which have become very popular in coastal communities like DeBordieu where everywhere you look is a wonderful view of the ocean, creeks or marsh.

The entire home is wood paneled with no sheet rock being used. The ground level is well finished and affords ample space for vehicles, boats, and golf carts. This is truly a remarkable home for the discerning family looking for oceanfront privacy as well as the very best DeBordieu has to offer.

DeBordieu Colony is an oceanfront community located just south of Pawleys Island, South Carolina featuring private golf and tennis, saltwater creek access to the ocean, a manned security gate, and luxury homes and villas surrounded by thousands of acres of wildlife and nature preserves.

History Meets Nature at D’aborde Dieu

Laid back serenity at DeBordieu

South Carolina coastal legend claims that in 1777, when the Marquis de Lafayette made landfall in America, he looked around and exclaimed, “this land is so beautiful, it must be the borderland of God,” or in French, D’aborde Dieu. Nothing much has changed since then, except for a carefully planned ocean-front residential community that has done a superb job of balancing its natural beach and creek settings with its man-made club amenities.

As one of the oldest coastal communities on the East Coast, DeBordieu, locally pronounced “Debbie-doo,” was a summer home to many wealthy rice plantation owners before the Cival War, or as we call it in the south, the War of Northern Aggression. When development began 40 years ago, every opportunity was taken to preserve the natural beauty and history of DeBordieu, which is one of the reasons it is still attractive today to those seeking a primary residence or vacation home.

Conveniently located on South Carolina’s Coast, just north of Charleston in the Pawelys Island area, DeBordieu offers its residents a unique combination of laid-back serenity and fun social activities, within arms’ length of hospitals, airports, shopping and fine dining. In addition to the wide beach and miles of meandering creeks for boating and fishing, DeBordieu Club amenities offer private Pete-Dye Golf, ocean-front fine dining, and tennis, surrounded by thousands of acres of nature preserves, and protected by a 24 hour security gate. Uncrowded and very peaceful, this exclusive, beautiful, low-key, coastal hide-away makes me think that Lafayette was right, it is D’aborde Dieu!
