Intro:
Off the shores of South Carolina, there is an island filled with magic. It is a dreamscape where rivers whisper, beaches glitter, sea grasses dance and emerald fairways rise like castle walls from right out of the Atlantic.
It is a place of such beauty and wonder that it rivals those found only in fables.
And it is called Kiawah Island.
The Island:
A half hour from all the charm, bustle and culture of historic Charleston rests the shining jewel of Kiawah. The island has been a sought-after vacation hideaway for decades and a playground for deer, fox, eagle, hawk, bobcat, otter and dolphin for centuries. To pace these ancient forests… To paddle these peaceful rivers… To hear wind-song through these moss-strewn boughs…is to reawaken to the glories of our wonderful Earth. There are forty miles of waterfront and over a hundred lakes and ponds that dot the landscape between healthy stands of pine, live oak and soft ocean dunes. And on the isle’s coveted south side, a ten-mile ribbon of pristine beach is among the most heart-melting sights that Mother Nature has ever made.
Charleston:
Charleston is a treasure. Its winding cobblestone lanes, riveting architecture, jaw-dropping ocean views and a fascinating history have seduced nearly all who have come to this romantic seaport. There is world-class cuisine, music, theatre and art. Festivals throughout the year. Hip street markets, quaint gardens, museums, Liberty Square and church steeples that spiral into heaven at every turn. Ample supplies of Southern hospitality and short, mild winters have helped Charlestown gain a slot on both Travel + Leisure and Conde Nast Traveler’s 2010list of the Top 3 cities in the U.S.
Golf:
With seven courses built by the likes of Tom Fazio, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Tom Watson and Pete Dye, it is no surprise that Travel + Leisure Golf recently named Kiawah the #1 Golf Resort in the U.S. The Ryder Cup, Senior PGA Championships and USB Warburg Cup have all been played here. In 2012, Kiawah will host the 94th PGA Championship. Sovereign ocean vistas, an acclaimed Golf Academy, stunning clubhouses, finedining and top-of-the-line pro shops are just a few more of the trappings that complement what is arguably the single greatest golf destination in the Americas.
Kiawah Island Club:
Exclusively for property owners, the Kiawah Island Club offers its privileged Members an outstanding array of benefits and amenities. Private golf on Tom Fazio’s River Course and Tom Watson’s Cassique. A modern Sports Pavilion with the latest in fitness equipment, tennis courts, squash and a pool, just to name a few. There is a premier Golf Academy, the exquisite Sasanqua Spa and fine dining. Yet the striking centerpiece of Club life at Kiawah is a shingle-style marvel designed by the incomparable Robert A.M. Stern. His eye-catching Beach House is nothing less than a masterpiece.
Close:
There is a place where life’s unexpected intrusions are not only welcome, but invited. The distant caw of an eagle in flight. The splash of dolphin’s leap. An impulsive kiss on a moonlight stroll. And a sunset of such staggering beauty that it stops the tongue, mists the eye and warms the heart.
The number of places holding this type of power grows fewer each year. Yet there is one such place that is closer than you know.
It is called Kiawah Island.
And you can live there.
