Description: DeBordieu is a private oceanfront residential community encompassing 2,700 acres of age-old oaks and pines, tidal marshes, and creeks with access to the Atlantic Ocean. This might be the most prestigious address on the South Strand. Justifiably so, DeBordieu bills itself as a purveyor of “splendid isolation.”This community offers a variety of homesites and villas with ocean, forest, marsh, and fairway views, and all are served by central water and sewer systems and underground utilities.DeBordieu Club’s golf course has been nationally acclaimed as one of Pete Dye’s best. The colonial-style clubhouse is spectacular. The Beach Club, with its lovely pool overlooking the ocean, offers superb dining. And the Tennis Center boasts eight composition courts and an excellent pro shop. Access to DeBordieu is controlled by a security entrance that is staffed 24 hours a day. Living here is a pricey proposition, but if money is not an object and you don’t mind the half-hour drive to Myrtle Beach, there’s no prettier place or better investment. Homesites range from one-half acre to five acres, with forest, creek, golf, and ocean views. Prices range from $730,000 to more than $3 million.
