Daufuskie Island is one of the most distinctive real estate markets in the South Carolina Lowcountry. Located between Hilton Head Island and Savannah GA, this private barrier island is accessible only by boat or ferry — creating a level of privacy and tranquility that is increasingly rare along the Southeast coast. Buyers searching for seclusion, natural beauty, and luxury coastal living consistently turn to Daufuskie Island for its unique blend of exclusivity and authenticity.
Real estate on Daufuskie Island includes everything from oceanfront homes, and deepwater properties to golf course homes and classic Lowcountry cottages. The island is home to private communities such as Haig Point, Melrose, and Bloody Point Daufuskie, each offering distinct amenities, architectural styles, and lifestyle benefits. Many homes feature expansive Atlantic Ocean views, Calibogue Sound frontage, private docks, or serene marsh landscapes — with larger homesites and preserved green space enhancing long-term value.
Life on Daufuskie Island moves at a different pace. With golf carts as the primary mode of transportation, residents enjoy uncrowded beaches, world-class golf, boating, fishing, and a thriving arts scene. The island’s rich Gullah history and preserved historic landmarks add cultural depth that further distinguishes it from other coastal communities. For those comparing options, you may also want to explore Bluffton SC Real Estate or view Hilton Head waterfront homes for sale to understand how Daufuskie offers a uniquely private alternative.
Because Daufuskie Island real estate is a specialized market, working with experienced local advisors is essential. Ferry access, club memberships, HOA structures, building considerations, rental restrictions, and marina logistics can significantly impact ownership experience and resale value.
Whether you are searching for a full-time coastal residence, a second-home retreat, or an investment property, Daufuskie Island offers one of the most exclusive and naturally preserved real estate opportunities in the Lowcountry.
