Kiawah Partners (KP) announces the development of its newest residential offering on Kiawah Island, The Cottages at Cypress Point. In keeping with the developer’s commitment to preserving the Island’s natural beauty, these exceptional new residences will nurture and enhance a low-density environment, while beautifully blending indoor and outdoor living experiences.
The Cottages at Cypress Point are a custom-designed collection of 23 built-for-sale homesites, ranging from 2,200 to 2,500 square feet. Priced from $1.1 million to $1.7 million, The Cottages are available in nine different floor plans, each of which is designed to complement the area’s centuries-old, wooded setting. For a majority of the homes, buyers will select from The Monterey, The Leyland and The Vista floor plans, while select homesites will offer custom floor-plan options. Cottage owners also are eligible for membership in the private Kiawah Island Club.
“The Cottages at Cypress Point exemplify Kiawah values – superior construction and design, and veneration for the Island’s natural beauty,” said Chris Drury, president, Kiawah Island Real Estate. “The development team has pledged to follow a minimal-disturbance policy without sacrificing the quality and attention to detail that make Kiawah homes so dynamic – both in their setting and their structure.”
Cypress Point is situated next to the fifth hole of The River Course, one of Kiawah’s two private golf courses. KP’s residential- and landscape-architect teams worked closely together to create staggered building “envelopes,” which will enable homeowners to enjoy both optimal privacy and tranquil views. All cottages will be made of natural stucco, copper roofs and impact-resistant windows, and each home will feature a front and rear courtyard, along with a covered outdoor living area. Residents also will have access to the neighborhood’s private pool area.
Under the guidance of the Kiawah Island Natural Habitat Conservancy, a vegetative understory will be planted to increase natural surroundings for area wildlife. No clear-cutting will take place; each of the neighborhood’s grand trees will be left in its rightful place, with streets laid-out around them. Rainwater will be collected for landscape-irrigation purposes, and, to ensure minimal waste, great care will be taken to recycle building materials.
KP’s subsidiary, Kiawah Island Real Estate, already has pre-sold three model homes as well as three pre-construction homesites during an early release offering. Remaining homesites will be available for purchase in spring 2010.
