Coosaw Point
Welcomes You Home to the Lowcountry
Nestled in the heart of the South Carolina Lowcountry, Coosaw Point has become a beacon for both retirees and young families wanting more out of living. Located on nearly 400 sprawling acres on Lady’s Island, one of the East Coast’s most stunning settings, this luxury-style community embodies coastal living at its finest.
Whether you are looking for a beautiful move-in ready home or a pristine homesite to build your very own dream house, a quick visit to Coosaw Point will confirm you are in the right place. Situated just close enough to the energy of Savannah and Charleston, 50 minutes to the Savannah Airport, and only ten minutes from the charm of downtown historic Beaufort, Coosaw Point offers residents the convenience and ease of both worlds all while living in a marshside retreat.
Throughout the neighborhood, you’ll find gorgeous Lowcountry homes overlooking spacious green lawns and tall live oak trees cascading with Spanish moss. Designated walking paths dot the island, leading to the river with places to sit and enjoy the saltwater marsh and wildlife. With plenty of elbow room between neighbors, residents love that Coosaw Point is a golf cart community. They often spend the afternoons taking in the picturesque streetscapes and manicured open green spaces while still feeling immersed in an unmatched sense of community. As you wander among the luscious greenery, diverse wildlife, and friendly neighbors, it’s no surprise that Coosaw Point has previously been named Real Estate Scorecard’s “Happiest Community of the Year,” as well as Ideal Living’s “Best of the Best in Coastal Communities.”
The luxury community located along the Coosaw River was purchased by Forino Co. back in 2021 with residents enthusiastically welcoming the shift in developers. Since taking over, Forino Co. has been hard at work implementing their ideas and improvements, including designating a full-time, on-site staff member to always keep the lines of communication open with residents. Forino Co. has also been instrumental in maintaining Coosaw Point’s status of a no-debt community, a major feat in today’s economic climate.
In addition to its natural beauty, Coosaw Point continues to leave a lasting impression on residents and visitors alike with their continuous community upgrades and first-class amenities. With direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway, Coosaw Point is the premiere destination for the avid sportsman and angler with plenty of opportunities for boating and fishing. The neighborhood offers on-site boat and kayak storage as well as a private community dock, tender dock, and boat launch with tidal creek access to the Intracoastal Waterway — making it easy to venture off for the day by boat to Hilton Head Island or Savannah.
For residents who are still finding their sea legs, Coosaw Point offers an impressive 11,000-square-foot River Club with panoramic views of Saint Helena Sound. From sunup to sundown, the riverfront veranda is the ideal spot to watch the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean or marvel at the spectacular sunset from one of the many rocking chairs or seating areas. A large recreation room located on the first floor is the perfect setting for informal, private, or community events. Alternatively, the second floor has been designed for more formal activities, including property owners’ parties or catered events, as it features a professional caterer’s kitchen. Finally, the River Club offers a spacious porch overlooking the resort-style Junior Olympic outdoor swimming pool as well as a playful children’s water feature, accented with shady pergolas and piped-in soothing music.
From the fitness center to the children’s playground, living an active, healthy lifestyle is easy at Coosaw Point. The lighted tennis and pickleball courts are centrally located just across the main interior park, with lessons available for residents. Additionally, open natural areas and walking trails make the neighborhood perfect for you and your furry friends.
If a sense of community is what you seek, Coosaw Point is the place for you. The Coosaw Point social committee is very active coordinating monthly events, such as water aerobics, family barbecues, oyster roasts, pool parties, and holiday celebrations. In addition to the community dock, a lakeside pavilion featuring an outdoor fireplace offers an ideal place to gather among friends and family. Residents also enjoy using the neighborhood’s famous “Crab Shack” for community events, family crab roasts, peel-and-eat shrimp nights, and more. With Beaufort having been named a “Top 20 Fishing Town” by Field and Stream Magazine, casting a net off the dock to catch your dinner has never been easier.
“They are a tremendously active community,” said Forino Co. President John Smith. “They pride themselves on making sure there are activities all the time. It’s amazing how they all really get along.”
Buyers interested in Coosaw Point real estate have the option to choose from a selection of homes starting in the low $600k that are rich in southern architecture, sweeping porches, detached garages, and open floor plans, which seamlessly integrate into the lush surroundings. With a relatively low Property Owners Association (POA) fee of $2,750, the neighborhood is ideal for young families. Currently, there are almost 130 acres remaining as open space, much of it along the riverfront. Coosaw Point is the perfect location for anyone hoping to build their own dream home.
Forino has assembled an alliance of preferred area builders to maintain the reliability of quality construction Coosaw Point residents expect. The builders’ guild includes Gallant Homes, Meritus Signature Homes, Eclipse Innovation and Development, and Summerall Custom Construction. With the next phase of development on the horizon in 2024, now is the perfect time for buyers to invest in Coosaw Point.
“Coosaw Point is a unique development in a beautiful setting with wonderful people,” Smith said. “It just needed some fresh blood and a fresh inflow of cash to reenergize the development and fulfill the original vision.”
Coosaw Point’s on-site sales center is staffed with knowledgeable and experienced sales associates seven days a week to assist prospective homebuyers and residents. The Forino Co. selected Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Bay Street Realty Group, the largest real estate firm serving both the South Carolina Lowcountry and Coastal Georgia, to serve as its local real estate brokerage.
“Lots of people are eager to get into a new home right now,” said Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Bay Street Realty Group Realtor Todd McDaniel, “But when you’ve got an innovative, community-centered development like Coosaw Point with its gorgeous views and friendly neighbors, it’s not a hard sell at all.”
