Sewee Preserve is a private nature-themed community between Awendaw and Mount Pleasant. Over 400 acres of the development have been set aside as a wildlife easement, buffering the remaining 90 acres, which is divided among just 30 home sites, from any future development. A partnership with the South Carolina Center for Birds of Prey has also been established on this land which will work to serve as an important safety zone for these animals and also endow property owners as honorary members of the rehabilitation and education center. Sewee Preserve is well suited for people who enjoy birdwatching, horseback riding, hiking, boating, fishing, amazing waterfront views, or just looking to escape the city and enjoy some peace and quiet.

Although Sewee Preserve is just a few minutes north of Mount Pleasant, the memories of traffic jam and stress melt away as you pass though the gates and begin your drive through the natural pine forest. Residents of Sewee Preserve enjoy the use of a large lake with several docks and a cute wooden bridge crossing with room for pedestrian traffic . Also located lakeside is a lodge complete with fireplace and bar that serves as a community gathering place and entertainment area. There is a seating area just outside at the fire pit (perfect for roasting marshmellows or oysters). There is even stacked storage for canoes and kayaks on this picturesque lake. The community also boast a horse paddock and 7 miles of trails winding through the 400 acres of community area. Sewee Preserve is also, of course, a waterfront community with all of the lots situated on marsh and overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway and Bulls Island.

There is a community dock wide enough for small motorized golf carts which includes a seating area for guests to gather at the head.  At the end of the dock is a covered pergola with more seating as well as a floating dock. The dock is on Whiteside Creek which flows into the Intracoastal Waterway.
Nothing has been overlooked in the planning of Sewee Preserve. It’s residents will truly be blessed with their slice of heaven and their minds put at ease knowing that the surrounding land will remain protected for generations to come. More than any other property, this is an investment for the future from both the land developers and the home owners. This is the perfect place for an eco-friendly buyer that wants peace and quiet but doesn’t want to be too far from the city. Many lots are still available and two “spec” homes have been built and are offered for sale.

Two Paradises?

There is one rather confusing thing about Paradise Island. There are basically two separate communities on the island. The eastern tip of the island is known as “Old Paradise Island” or simply “Paradise Island” and was developed in the early 1980’s. The western side of the island was developed in early 2000’s and is known as “Big Paradise Island”. You’ll see on MLS that real estate agents list them all as “Paradise Island”, but it is important to know which a home or lot for sale in a part of because each has different covenants, HOA fees, and amenities.

Old Paradise Island

The eastern tip of Paradise Island has a dirt road and mostly one story ranch homes that date back to the early 1980’s and 1990’s. They look out over the picturesque Wando River and most have deep-water docks.

Big Paradise Island

The western side of Paradise Island was developed as a planned unit development and is often called “Big Paradise Island”. Many beautiful luxury homes have been built and many lots offering great waterfront views are still available. Unlike most of Awendaw, Paradise Island has public sewage and water courtesy of Mount Pleasant Waterworks. Big Paradise Island has the same great Wando River views as Old Paradise Island.

Big Paradise Island is governed by Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions.
