Melrose Landing
Melrose Landing is the main port of arrival for the island and includes a 10,000+/- sq. ft. commercial land parcel. Fronting the Intercoastal Waterway, the boat dock and development rights along with the permits and entitlements for 30 units create a wonderful opportunity for a 4+/- acre marine village.
Just one nautical mile from Hilton Head and 12 nautical miles from Savannah, Daufuskie Island is a secluded island getaway with three miles of gorgeous, pristine beachfront.
The history of Daufuskie Island includes Native American inhabitants, bloody battles during the American Revolution, “Sea Island Cotton” in the 1800’s, and later an inspiration for Pat Conroy’s novel, “The Waters Are Wide.” Today the island is equally intriguing with its lowcountry style, unspoiled natural beauty, and peaceful tranquility.
With existing entitlements, permits, and established infrastructure, this is a rare and remarkable opportunity for investors.
