Oceanfront - 1.88 acres on a private island, with multiple options for building your dream home. Dewees is a barrier sea island with wide stretches of white sand beach and panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, dunes and salt marshes. Located approximately 12 miles northeast of Charleston, this 1200 acre, private community is nestled between the commercially developed Isle of Palms to the south and Capers Island and the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge to the north. Dewees is a place that seems to have been there forever, frozen in time. A 20-minute ferry ride is all it takes to put some space between you and the stress of the mainland.
