The ideal setting for your Lowcountry Adventure
Moreland Village is the perfect home base for exploring the Lowcountry. Live in a place where forest, marsh, and waterway meet to create a distinctive natural environment. You can walk the live oak trails, kayak the waterway, or go fly fishing in the river. Then gather with family and friends for an evening Lowcountry boil under the stars. We're now offering homesites with breathtaking views across the marsh or adjacent to our pristine nature preserve. Come explore with us.
Moreland Village is located in an incredible natural setting, so we designed the community to blend into the landscape. Architecture is designed to create seamless transitions between the indoors and the outdoors. Trails connect the community and lead to convenient amenities as well as gathering spaces in the woods and along the water. A perfect way to be a part of the Lowcountry.
Moreland Point is the last remaining marsh front property in Moreland Village. This special collection of just 39 lots look out across the river from within a spectacular maritime forest. Maritime forest is the most beautiful of all the habitat types found at Palmetto Bluff. Majestic live oaks provide the tree canopy along with 100-year-old loblolly pine, black gum, and scattered pockets of southern magnolia.
Moreland Point has always boasted amazing biodiversity among both flora and fauna. White-tailed deer, eastern wild turkeys, and neo-tropical migrating songbirds like the painted bunting and summer tanagers have made Moreland Point home. Our commitment to being good stewards of this land will lead to Moreland Point being the hub for not only human inhabitants but also our animal friends.
Overlooking the Crossroads, the village green of Moreland, are 10 home sites with views of saltwater marshes and creeks beyond. Amazing creek and marsh views, a coveted eastern exposure to capture the breezes, and a true downtown location make Dove Field the perfect place to experience the magic of the Lowcountry. The neighborhood name of Dove Field is an ode to the dove field that sits adjacent to these homesites. Palmetto Bluff Conservancy Director Jay Walea tells us that this was once the best dove spot in the country.
Maritime Row in the village of Moreland will be an anchor with five select properties located at the gateway to the village, greeting guests with true Southern hospitality. Each property will be carefully sited on a spacious homesite with front porch views of Lake Bales, a preserved wetland, and the core of downtown Moreland Village. Maritime Row pays homage to the pristine waterfront views, creating a connection to the water and rowing activities that may take place in the lake across the street.
Homesites on Lake Bales in Moreland Village will offer expansive views of the water and the adjoining town, with each future home promising large rear porches oriented toward the stunning natural vistas. Lake Bales is named for former Palmetto Bluff Forestry and Wildlife Manager Charlie Bales. Charlie spent his entire career taking care of this land, first for Union Camp and then for Crescent Communities when it purchased the property in 2001 before he retired in 2014.
In The Preserve, owners have the ability to find the unique combination of an in-town address and views of a permanently preserved open space called the River Road Preserve. Within steps of Moreland Village amenities and the Preserve’s 120 acres of sprawling maritime forest, each home in The Preserve will have the ultimate combination of town and country living. The Preserve, named for the River Road Preserve that is adjacent to the homesites, is a 120-acre conservation easement that will be shielded in perpetuity from development and held by the non-profit North American Land Trust.
This vast stretch of maritime forest sits within close proximity of the village core while offering its future residents opportunities for idyllic views of the surrounding marshes, creeks, and woodlands. These homesites are situated in the heart of Moreland Village and are within walking distance of large swaths of wildlife preserve, nature trails, future Moreland Village amenities, and one of the finest redfish flats in the region.
Moreland was part of a 12,000-acre barony purchased in 1730 by Robert Wright, Chief Justice of South Carolina, and George Lord Anson, a British naval admiral. The barony was divided and sold in tracts that would eventually become the plantations of Palmetto Bluff. In 1774 Richard Proctor purchased 1,184 acres that would become known as Moreland Plantation. The main house at Moreland was located where the Moreland Landing pavilion is today. Over the years, the land had several owners. Then in 1915, Moreland was purchased by R. T. Wilson, a wealthy banker from New York. Wilson named his property, which would eventually total 20,000 acres, Palmetto Bluff.
Lowcountry vernacular architecture creates an informal atmosphere. It blurs the lines between indoors and outdoors through the generous use of windows and by incorporating porches into building design. This allows homes to take advantage of sun orientation, vistas and the adjoining streetscape.
