Real Estate
The New York Times calls Brays Island, "The finest intact preservation of a private plantation in America." For those who call Brays Island home, the community's unique philosophy of creating homes that blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape is reassuring proof that progress doesn't always have to come at the expense of the past. All residential and recreational development has been carefully restricted to 1,500 acres of the plantation, leaving the rest untouched as a wildlife preserve. After all, in a place as special as Brays Island Plantation, letting the land dictate the architecture, not the other way around, is the only way of life that seems to make sense.
Carefully placed to ensure that no two touch, the 325 circular one-acre homesites at Brays Island are each surrounded by common area. This design insures both stunning views and a spacious and private atmosphere that puts you closer to nature than to your neighbors.
Under the watchful eye of the Architectural Review Board, these one-acre sites hold some of the finest homes in the South, according to Builder magazine, Architectural Digest, Southern Living and Southern Accents, which praised Brays Island for having "the most sophisticated design procedure in the region."
Currently, homes have been built on almost one-half of the 325 homesites. We invite you to learn more about the resale homesites and homes available. There are no requirements to build and no minimum or maximum square footage requirement.

Marsh Homesites | ||

Brays Island is surrounded by miles of ever changing marsh. The Pocotaligo River and Haulover Creek are our two primary water ways. These sites take advantage of the color change during the year and the tidal fluctuations. The marsh is alive with deer, and herons, egrets, wood storks and other birds and constantly moving and feeding. | |
Pond Homesites | ||

Brays Island has both salt ponds and fresh water ponds. The salt ponds arc, in many cases, rice impoundments from the 18th century and are filled with redfish, flounder, speckled trout, blue crabs and shrimp. They are magnets for birds, from ducks to egrets to ospreys and bald eagles. The freshwater ponds are filled with bass and sunfish. Many sites overlooking these ponds are wooded and have golf course views. | |
Paddock Homesites | ||

Brays Island is an equestrian paradise with over 60 miles of sand roads and trails, two arenas and over 100 acres of paddocks.
