Laurel View

Laurel View is located just 30 miles south of historic downtown Savannah at the Midway interchange at I-95, at Exit 76. The property is 5,000 acres with more than ten miles of pristine marsh and deep water frontage on Jones Creek and Laurel View River. Laurel View will be a complete sustainable community with marina golf, residential and commercial sites on some of the most spectacular land in the coastal south.

The site is exceptionally beautiful. The majestic live oaks that bower over the Laurel River, the views from escarpment like terraces over the marshes that seem to flow along the river, the diverse deciduous forest, the pine savannah all contribute to making the property unique among Low Country landscapes. The views across the vast spartina marsh along the Laurel River extend the site’s 4,600+/- acres into the perception of a much larger property.

The Laurel View landscape is unique among southeast coastal landscapes and perhaps unique among any landscape. Foremost are the three-hundred to four-hundred year old live oaks gracing the marsh frontage on Laurel View River. They are distinctive for a number of ecological reasons that include their numbers, size, extent, health, and continuity along the coastline, from the easternmost to the southernmost marsh frontage. Their beauty contributes to a sense of place. There is perhaps no other site that can boast riverside live oaks like these, making their preservation and care imperative.

In addition, the site’s topography is unique. The elevation above the marsh (as much as twenty-four feet) and the extenuated nature of those elevations form a miles-long series of bluffs along the marsh. Perhaps nowhere else along the southern Atlantic seaboard can one find this relationship of water to land, marsh to forest. It is a condition that enhances views across the river landscape and allows a unique perspective of the marsh and river from above.
