Nestled along the banks of the Pocotaligo River, The Settings of Mackay Point will offer approximately 450 sites for single-family homes, including riverfront and lakefront property. Even the homesites that are not on the water will be surrounded by nature, with acres of man-made fishing lakes and more than 120 acres of undisturbed land, designated parks and green space.
"With deep-water access right outside our door, The Settings of Mackay Point will be an incredible place for fishing and crabbing, and for anyone who just loves being near the water," said Richard McWhorter, president of The Settings Development Companies. "We're committed to keeping the natural beauty of this property, and plan to leave the surrounding wetlands in pristine condition. We'll also have a large buffer between the marsh and the homes, with oaks and other trees lining the waterway. The beauty of the Beaufort area and the South Carolina Low Country is what makes this one of the most attractive locations in the country."
In addition to its natural splendor, The Settings of Mackay Point is just one mile from Interstate 95 on Highway 17 and 30 minutes away from the Savannah International Airport. This prime location gives residents the best of both worlds - a peaceful neighborhood that is one with nature, and easy access to bustling communities in Georgia and South Carolina. Sales should begin in May 2006, with homesites ranging from the $90s to the $600s for river frontage.
Natural Architecture Planned
The homes planned for The Settings will accentuate the Low Country setting with architectural details designed to enhance waterfront living. Deep eaves, rocking-chair front porches, dormer windows and screened back porches will allow residents to enjoy the nature all around them without leaving the comforts of home. With as many as six different preferred builders, there will be a variety of plans from which to choose or the ability to build your own custom dream home.
As part of this pedestrian-friendly neighborhood, The Settings of Mackay Point will also feature a New Urbanist-style community with Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) design. Completely walkable and essentially self-contained, this section of The Settings of Mackay Point will offer rear-entry alleys, a grid-style street design, community park space and a strict architectural style. "The TND style is increasingly popular," McWhorter said. "People appreciate the community atmosphere and low-maintenance lifestyle that TND's provide and nearly every home will have a view to the river."
The entire community will provide abundant activities for residents, with extensive walking trails throughout, lakes, Riverfront clubhouse with pools, tennis courts and, of course, all the natural amenities that flow from living in a beautiful riverfront community. Plus, residents will have all the opportunities provided by the river, nearby coast, plentiful wildlife and the living history of the coastal region.
A Coastal Cruise
Perhaps the most interesting way to reach this new neighborhood is by boat. The Settings of Mackay Point is just eight miles from the Atlantic by water and just one mile from the big water of the Broad River. For lessons in history and nature, simply follow Mackay Road to Mackay Point Plantation, a large conservation area south of The Settings. And, for those seeking shopping, dining and nightlife, The Settings of Mackay Point is approximately 30 miles from Hilton Head, S.C., and 60 miles from both Charleston, S.C. and Savannah, Ga.
