Building a Home in The Estuary

The natural beauty surrounding The Estuary is astounding. In fact, many come far and wide to see the scenery that can only be found here. Layered vistas put each type of landscape on display. From each individual homesite you can see far-reaching views of marshland, sandy shores and sea, and brilliant green fairways. 

All homes on Kiawah are built to complement the natural beauty through their architecture. Exterior homes reflect the tones and textures that are naturally found across the Island. Color palettes use oceanic and earthy colors to set the mood of each space. Areas that are ideal for resting, such bedrooms, deserve soothing colors of soft blues and greens to promote relaxation. Spaces that are meant for entertaining, think common rooms and the kitchen, go best with light and airy colors. 

When building your home in The Estuary, you will be provided with expert guidance on selecting the best colors, design features, and more for your home. The Island abides by the rules of the Architectural Review Board to ascertain that each home seamlessly meets the landscape without fading into the background or surpassing what is already there. 

If you prefer not to build a custom home, you may also wish to choose from three pre-designed plans to use. This option allows for a shorter build time and ease of planning.

The Cassique Community

Right outside your door, you will have access to one of the best golf courses in the area. The Members-only Cassique golf course is the area’s only Scottish links-style course.

If you look closely, each hole can be played in multiple ways, forcing golfers to get creative and think outside of the box, if need be.
