Welcome to Distant Island

Distant Island is Beaufort's premier residential community — a low-density, naturally beautiful enclave on Lady's Island, accessible via a private causeway just minutes from historic downtown Beaufort. Surrounded by tidal creeks and marsh, the island offers a quiet, unhurried lifestyle with generous lots, mature live oaks, and the kind of unspoiled Lowcountry setting that's increasingly difficult to find this close to town.

Water-oriented living is central to the appeal — many properties sit on deepwater with short private docks, and the surrounding waterway system provides easy access to the broader Beaufort River and Port Royal Sound for fishing and boating.

Community amenities include two neighborhood docks, a crabbing dock, boat ramp, boat storage, tennis court, walking trail, and open green space — everything needed to live well on the water without the noise of a resort community. Just land, water, wildlife, and privacy, with the shops, restaurants, and waterfront of historic Beaufort less than fifteen minutes away.
