About Beaufort County, South Carolina Real Estate
Beaufort County is located in the State of South Carolina. In 2000, the population of Beufort County, South Carolina was 120,937; in 2005 the population was estimated to have reached 137,849. Its county seat is Beaufort, South Carolina.
Beaufort County is one of the South's fastest growing counties, primarily because of development south of the Broad River. There is also a strong military presence around the city of Beaufort. As defined by the U.S. Census Bureau, the Hilton Head Island-Beaufort Micropolitan Area is comprised of Beaufort and Jasper Counties. Beaufort County's population is over 70% urban.
First discovered by the Spanish in 1514 and chartered by the British in 1711, the Town of Beaufort is the second-oldest town in South Carolina. The area experienced great prosperity in the eighteenth century when indigo and rice plantations thrived. Prior to the Civil War, Sea Island Cotton also brought great wealth to Beaufort residents.
Today, an entire tapestry of Southern history is woven into Beaufort's landscape and is wistfully reflected in its tabby ruins, historic forts, elegant homes and majestic plantations. As horse-drawn carriages leisurely wind through the streets in the historic district - one of only three National Historic Landmark Districts in South Carolina - time seems to stand still in this picturesque waterfront community.
And in Beaufort County there's a festival to celebrate nearly everything: the endangered gopher tortoise, watermelons, catfish, rice, harbors and water, shrimp, chili and wine, and even more. Lowcountry dining can be an art practiced by gourmet chefs, or a quick bite on an old back porch. Overlook the water or one of dozens of beautiful golf courses while sampling some of the finest seafood on the east coast.
The Lowcountry Region, including Beaufort County, offers so much to see and do, from a variety of recreational pursuits (fishing, sailing, hunting, bird watching, paddling, surfing, golf, and tennis, to name a few) to enjoying the many historic and artistic venues scattered through the region (lighthouses, historic buildings, museums, art galleries, concerts, movie locations, the Penn Center Historic District, etc).
Local plantation homeowners and their guests love to re-experience the Lowcountry often by taking advantage of the many local tours through the area. Whether being pulled by horse-drawn carriage, riding an air-conditioned bus, enjoying the thrills of boating or kayaking or even joining one of the frequent walking tours, Beaufort County residents - full or part-time - know to relax around the island. Shopping on Hilton Head Island can include one-of-a-kind treasures from the South Carolina Artisans Center, to clever, little, eclectic shops, to mega, bargain hunting at factory outlets.
If you love the outdoors, a beautiful day's walk or easy drive and a little invigorating competition, don't miss an opportunity to tee off in the Lowcountry, one of the world's premier golf destinations. Dozens of courses to delight players of every skill level stretch across Beaufort County. Lowcountry fairways are respected for their spectacular lagoons, envied for the scenic marshes and maritime forests and long remembered for their abundant wildlife experiences. And the golfing is great, as well. With its temperate climate and year-round sunshine, Beaufort County, South Carolina is the perfect place to enjoy a satisfying round of golf.
And, the island itself is a true paradise. Hilton Head Island in coastal South Carolina is often referred to as the second largest barrier island on the eastern seaboard after Long Island (which is not actually a barrier island but two glacial moraines). Technically, Hilton Head Island is only half barrier island. The north end of the island is a sea island dating to the Pleistocene epoch, and the south end is a barrier island that appeared as recently as the Holocene epoch. Broad Creek, which is actually a land-locked tidal marsh, separates the two halves of the island.
For many years, Hilton Head Island in South Carolina has been renowned as a world class destination for golf, tennis and for family vacations. With over 14 miles of beach, terrific shopping, nature preserves, water sports, biking and so much more, it's no wonder why Hilton Head Island has become a permanent home for so many vacationers.
But vacationers are not the only people who love this ideal locale on the Atlantic. Island real estate is immensely popular and coveted. Million dollar estates, plush executive plantations, luxurious homes, condos, gated community properties and waterside manors are abundant throughout the island. It is as common as sunshine to find yachts standing as if in permanent salute along elegant marinas at docking spots up and down Hilton Head's coastline.
Despite extensive development, however, much of the Island remains as it was when sighted from William Hilton's ship more than 300 years ago. Hilton Head Island's natural beauty, spectacular seascapes and exceptional ecology now beckon a new generation of explorers.
