Pawleys Island, South Carolina

Area Information

Before becoming affiliated with Sotheby’s International Realty^®, the firm earned an enviable reputation as the sales and marketing firm for Prince George River and Prince George Ocean, a pristine, 1,900-acre, ocean- to riverfront community south of Pawleys Island, SC. Since that award-winning, eco-friendly “neighborhood of estates” took shape, the firm has expanded its focus to include the sales and marketing of exceptional properties from Myrtle Beach, down the historic coast to Charleston and inland to assemble a portfolio of properties that includes homes, upscale communities, plantations, recreational properties, conservation tracts and tracts with development potential.

Prince George Sotheby's International Realty^® makes its home on the pristine and historic lower Waccamaw Neck, a slender finger of land that extends south from the marshes of Murrells Inlet to the breathtaking expanse of Winyah Bay. From the Inlet to the shade-dappled streets of historic Georgetown, natural beauty reigns supreme. The area’s abundance of history is as remarkable as its natural beauty.

Edged on the west by a ribbon of waterway known simultaneously as the Waccamaw River and the Intracoastal Waterway, extraordinary properties comprised of abandoned ricefields and hunting estates are etched with a tangle of tide-driven creeks and wetlands that rise and fall with the tides. In the east, of course, the wide blue Atlantic stretches to the horizon. Those who love water can choose river, ocean or both – with ease and expediency.

In the Inlet, stories of cunning pirates, native Indians, brave soldiers and fearless fishermen add charm and intrigue. Dozens of fabulous restaurants, quaint shops and staggering marsh views are an added lure.

Pawleys Island, the nation’s oldest seaside resort, represents nothing so much as unpretentious aristocracy – hence the oft-used term “arrogantly shabby.” Weathered century-old homes are tucked behind dunes that still tower over the shore. Creekside homes beg for lazy summer afternoons. Waves of marsh and blue sky wrap in the Island in classic summer mystique.

The thriving little city of Georgetown beckons with tree-lined sidewalks, a magnificent historic district, a downtown chock full of restaurants, boutiques, galleries and museums, as well as a bustling waterfront that flows into the Bay. Georgetown is the Palmetto State’s third oldest port city, and the history here is almost palpable.

Farther south and west, plantations that once thrived along the five rivers that spill into Winyah Bay are being reborn as hunting retreats and gracious getaways. Some large tracts are available for limited development. Inland, there are farmlands and woodlands and hunting havens. An hour south, the history-steeped city of Charleston beckons with still more history, culture and modern panache.

Whatever your whim, Prince George Sotheby's International Realty^® is set to move you in the direction of your dreams. Connecting extraordinary people with extraordinary properties is what they do best.
