Description

This is the New Kenzie Park community located geographically in the center of Savannah, Georgia and Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. This sub tropical location is convenient to the shops, schools, waterways, and restaurants of Bluffton, South Carolina (one of the fastest growing towns in the Southeast.) It is also 15 minutes from Savannah or Hilton Head. With over 300 acres and only 100 home sites, Kenzie Park is open and wonderful with sweeping water views and private forest home sites in a very low density setting. Designed to be a high quality community without high community fees, the architecture will include tile roofs, garden courtyards, 3 and 4 car garages and incredible streetscapes of new homes. Phase I of the new Kenzie Park is now released for sale. Kenzie Park offers big oversized homes sites in a community designed to become a neighborhood by size and defined by unique architecture. Forward thinking, the developer is also including the clearing and fill for the foundation on every home site which saves the owner thousand of dollars. Together with lots starting at only $119,000, property owners will be able to put their hard earned dollars into the house, not the land! Kenzie Park owners will enjoy large private home sites in a community that includes an amenity center with pool, a southwestern streetscape with tile roofs, a nature trail to andquot;Picnic Islandandquot;, a true neighborhood feeling and low annual community fees. Up to 90% financing is available and as an additional incentive, the developer is throwing in the first 20 months of payments to kick off this exciting new community. The beautiful gated entry statement and roads are now complete. We invite your inquiries. Thank you.

    "Nearby car show events come frequently to area that is walkable from this neighborhood.We also have the University of South Carolina across the way which makes this neighborhood very desirable to any who have jobs or children that are looking to go to college without having the hefty bill of living on campus that usually comes with dormitory living. Overall, this community allows you to live near Hilton Heqd Islqnd without the hefty price tag and keeps you away from the busiest part of the area of Bluffton. It’s the best of both worlds. You live near all the popular tourist attractions, including Savannah, but are able to travel into any of the above mentioned locations within 15-30 minutes depending on traffic. Because this neighborhood is so close to Savannah, it will become your second home as you venture in often for the variety of dining, attractions and shopping. "

    "Okatie is a well kept secret. People are catching on, though. We live in a beautiful home right on the marsh. We have deer, foxes, and raccoons in our yard every single day. At high tide, we see DOLPHINS strand feeding and they’re practically in our back yard. Our neighbors are well educated, friendly, and trustworthy. They’re helpful too. We have found our very own paradise here. "
