The ideal retirement spot!  Beaufort, the land of Forest Gump, with miles of unspoiled beaches, wildlife preserves. golf courses, and delightful specialty shops in the downtown historic area.  Sit under a canopy of Spanish moss draped live oaks enjoying the views of the intracoastal from the porch of this charming West Indian style home.  Beaufort is the non-commercial answer to Hilton Head, yet perfectly situated for the visits to Charleston and Savannah.

 

 

This home is situated on Lady's Island five minutes from historic downtown Beaufort.  A wrap around porch with comfortable rocking chairs offers lovely views of the intracoastal whole a dock and pavilion shared by members of the neighborhood allows easy access to the water.  Magnolias, tea olive trees, and a gold fish pond with water lilies are part of the landscaping.

The open floor plan in the living room is enhanced by a fireplace and windows overlooking the porch.  The kitchen and dining room are equipped with a separate laundry room adjacent to the kitchen.  There are three bedrooms.  The master bedroom has a king size bed, walk-in closet, and a full bath with a skylight and connects via a hallway to two other bedrooms which share another full bath.  All rooms are furnished, on the same floor and have ample closets.

Mild temperatures in the spring and fall are perfect for golfing at nearby courses, antique shopping or visiting wildlife preserves such as the ACE basin in Edisto within a comfortable driving distance.  Hungry?  A drive out to Harold's Country Club in nearby Yamassee is an experience or dine at the Beaufort Inn.  Both places were written about in the New York Times Travel Section recently.  Both Savanna and Hilton Head are within a 45 minute drive of Beaufort.
