The Property
· Rare buildable lot near the beach. Walkable-to-the-sand lots in East Beach are nearly extinct, the kind of opportunity serious buyers wait years on.
· A towel-over-your-shoulder walk to the Atlantic. Not "close to the beach" in the brochure sense, this is flip-flops-on, sand-between-your-toes close.
· Build on your terms. Voluntary HOA means an established, like-minded neighborhood with no mandatory fees or restrictive covenants. Your lot, your vision.
· Heart of East Beach. Laid-back, golf-cart-friendly streets where neighbors wave from the porch and the beach is a short ride away.
· A finite resource. Buildable lots on the southside of St. Simons aren't being made anymore. Ideal for a primary residence, vacation retreat, or legacy investment for the family.
The Area
· The island's most popular beach. East Beach is the most popular beach on St. Simons, with the widest sands, public facilities, and plentiful parking.
· Pier Village minutes away. The island's social hub, with more than 50 shops and restaurants for dining, shopping, and gathering.
· Historic St. Simons Lighthouse. Climb 129 steps for views of the St. Simons Sound, paired with the maritime museum in the keeper's dwelling.
· Neptune Park on the oceanfront. An oceanside pool, playground, miniature golf, fishing pier, and oak-shaded picnic areas.
· WWII Home Front Museum at East Beach. Housed in the historic Coast Guard Station right at East Beach.
· World-class golf nearby. Courses at Sea Island, King & Prince, and Sea Palms are all on the island.
· Endless coastal recreation. Biking, kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing through tidal creeks, marshes, and three miles of beach.
· Sea Island next door. The exclusive resort community of Sea Island sits about four miles away.
