Oakridge

This 500-acre oceanfront community only began selling homesites within the last five years, on a very limited basis. Presently, there are 18 oceanfront homesites, with approximately the same number of second and third-row sites, creating a total of 55 homesites. Development planning is underway for a new community, called Beachfield, within an 85-acre subdivision of Oakridge. When completed, Beachfield will offer up to 150 homesites in a tightly knit beach oriented community.

The Historic District

Beautiful tree-lined dirt roads and small cottages meandering throughout the forests and on the marshes of the Intracoastal Waterway highlight the special nature of life outside the gates of the planned communities. Ownership opportunities exist ranging from cabins in the woods to deepwater estates, covering nearly every price range. The historic district is home to the local post office, Marshside Mama's Cafe and General Store and Freeport Marina with its Calibogue Cafe. Local tours leave Hilton Head daily and dock at Freeport Marina where folks either board a tour bus or rent golf carts to tour the island. Historic places of interest include the famous Maryfield School House where author Pat Conroy taught, the Silver Dew Winery, the Bloody Point Lighthouse and the newly refurbished First African Baptist Church which has been in use for over 100 years. When on Daufuskie, be sure to visit its beach . . . one of the few remaining naturally isolated beaches on the East coast.
