About 1525 W Black Island Rd SE

Deep Water Access | Coastal Living at Its Finest Welcome to your private waterfront oasis, tucked away on two secluded acres in one of Coastal Georgia’s best-kept secrets—Black Island. This custom-built Carolina Cottage features three bedrooms, three full baths, and offers over 3,470 square feet under roof. Recently refreshed with new paint, brand-new stainless steel appliances, sleek quartz countertops, and generous storage throughout, this home is designed for effortless comfort and relaxed coastal living. Set within a private, gated eco-community on a 250-acre historic island, this retreat offers deep water access just 20 minutes from the open ocean and Sapelo Sound—making it a true boater’s paradise. Whether you’re casting a line from the deepwater community dock with its covered boat lift or gliding through the quiet tidal creeks by kayak, you’ll find trout, reds, shrimp, and crab just a cast away. Life on Black Island is rich in both nature and history. The community brings neighbors together with seasonal oyster roasts and traditional Lowcountry boils at the charming clubhouse. Towering moss-draped oaks and protected green space surround you, providing sanctuary not just for residents but also for native wildlife. With no public access, the island remains peaceful and untouched—a rare combination of privacy and authenticity. The land itself carries a story, having once served as a Ft. King George lookout, an R.J. Reynolds hunting preserve, and for millennia before that, the home of the Guale People. Though you’ll feel far from the bustle of daily life, convenience is never far away. Historic downtown Darien is just five minutes down the road, offering local dining, shopping, schools, and churches. Brunswick’s airport, Sam’s Club, and country club are within a 15-minute drive, and the beaches of St. Simons and Sea Island are less than 30 minutes away. For commuters and professionals, downtown Savannah and the new Hyundai EV plant are both within an easy one-hour drive, making this retreat perfectly positioned between serenity and opportunity. This is more than a home—it’s a rare opportunity to live where nature, history, and coastal elegance meet. On Black Island, the pace is slower, the skies are wider, and the water is always just a few steps away. A 2-acre adjacent lot is available for sale.
