Carolina Holdings Group and LNW Hospitality announced the sale of new condominiums and duplex homes at the Moorings at Jekyll Harbor, on Jekyll Island, GA. Brought to you by the same group that created the successful Ocean Oaks at Jekyll Island and Cottages at Jekyll Island, the Moorings will have 39 three-bedroom residences and nine raised townhomes ranging from 1,726 to 1,946 heated square feet available for purchase.
Located on the coast of Georgia, Jekyll Island is a barrier island steeped in history. In the late 1800s, the island became a tourist destination when it was purchased by the Jekyll Island Club, which constructed a vacation resort for the nation’s leading families. In 1947, the state of Georgia purchased this once-private paradise and has worked tirelessly, ever since, to preserve the island's pristine natural beauty, only allowing 35 percent of Jekyll Island to be developed.
Today, residents and visitors alike enjoy its meticulously maintained natural aesthetic, ecology, and history. The island boasts unspoiled beaches and other great amenities such as the Jekyll Island Landmark Historic District, biking trails, the Summer Waves Water Park, and the Georgia Sea Turtle Center. The beach and Beach Village are just a short bike ride away from The Moorings. Jekyll Island was ranked the #1 best place to go in 2019 by Money Magazine.
The Moorings site is home to the Jekyll Harbor Marina, a magical enclave on the banks of the Jekyll Sound, surrounded by majestic, moss-draped oaks. Jekyll Harbor is ideal for a day of fishing or exploring the many meandering rivers and creeks of the Golden Isles. The marina offers both wet storage and dry storage at reasonable rates.
“We’ve worked tirelessly to create a community that fits into what makes Jekyll Island great,” said Gary Wadsten, Managing Partner of the Carolina Holdings Group. “The homes fit seamlessly into the natural landscape, offering homeowners serenity and breathtaking views. We’ve collaborated with the Jekyll Island Authority throughout this process to ensure that this development befits the character and beauty of Jekyll Island. I’m thrilled to partner again with the JIA and our co-developer LNW Hospitality.”
“The Moorings at Jekyll Harbor is a special community,” said Dave Curtis, Co-Managing Partner of LNW Hospitality. “With refined finishes, picturesque views, and proximity to the marina, beaches, dining, golf, and biking, the Moorings at Jekyll Harbor offer an unbelievable home and getaway.”
“These homes are stunning,” said Daniel Hoover, lead sales agent for the Moorings. “Home buyers will really be able to take advantage of this ‘quiet side’ of Jekyll Island – where life moves slower, southern hospitality is even more gracious and glorious sunsets are commonplace. All starting in the $400s.”
Home prices start at less than $500,000, with construction by the Solid Rock Co. expected to begin in the spring of 2020. For further information: The Moorings at Jekyll Island or call 843-997-5540.
