Coles Island
A rare private coastal island with deepwater access, two residences, and a legacy of Lowcountry sporting and conservation heritage.
Located along Coles Creek and the Broad River, Coles Island encompasses 267 acres of high ground, 276 acres of pristine tidal marsh, and over 1000 ft of non-marsh high bluff waterfront, just minutes from Hilton Head Island and Palmetto Bluff. This historic island is surrounded by the 15,000-acre Good Hope Plantation, ensuring unmatched privacy and seclusion while remaining easily accessible via a private vehicular causeway.
With a landscape that remains much as it was more than 200 years ago, Coles Island offers an extraordinary opportunity to own one of the last significant coastal islands of the South Carolina Lowcountry.
