Description

Exclusive. Exquisite.

Callawassie is a private, gated island. Not a gated community. A gated ISLAND.

The name "Callawassie" comes from the Yemassee Indians and means "still waters". Today it means leisurely lowcountry lifestyle in a private, world-class golf-centered community.

Although private and isolated, Callawassie Island is just minutes from Hilton Head Island as well as Beaufort, Bluffton, and Savannah. As a member and resident you’ll have access to world-class golf, tennis, and outstanding boating and fishing.

The island itself is 880 acres surrounded by tidal marshes and stunning views. When you cross the causeway you’ll find an abundance of wildlife. The island community has a strong focus on wildlife habitat and conservation. Over 200 Callawassie Island homes are certified as Backyard Habitats.

Homes on Callawassie Island are part of a thriving community and part of a long-term master plan. All properties require club membership, and over half of the homeowners are full-time residents. The residents form a close community, with founding members welcoming the newcomers into life on this special island. After sunset you’ll find fine dining, social activities, and evenings with close friends.

The 27-hole award-winning championship golf course was designed by Tom Fazio and features Callawassie Island’s stunning natural beauty. This is a course to challenge golfers of every skill level.

You’ll also find six Har-Tru tennis courts and pavilion, a 26,000-square-foot Clubhouse and many other amenities and activities.
