The Pee Dee Land Trust announced this week that land known as the Prince George Tract, located just north of the Prince George Ocean Subdivision, has been placed in a conservation easement to be permanently protected from development.
The Price George Tract is a 1,065-acre property on Hwy 17, also bordered by the Havel Preserve to the north and Pawleys Creek at the mouth of Pawleys Inlet. The conservation easement on the Prince George Tract has an enormous public benefit that will be enjoyed for generations to come.
One of the last large undeveloped properties along the Grand Strand, the conservation easement on the Prince George Tract aligns with the Future Land Use Goals and Strategies in Georgetown County’s Comprehensive Plan, which aims to “Provide for the protection of the coastal beaches, dunes and natural vegetation of those areas; Promote the preservation of trees and other natural vegetation…; and Preserve and enhance the scenic quality of the Highway 17 corridor.” Prince George is a critical piece added to the growing network of privately and publicly protected lands in Georgetown County and the Winyah Bay Focus Area, expanding the blue and green belts critical to our way of life.
With over 5,000 feet of frontage on Pawleys Creek, the scenic view from the south end of Pawleys Island will forever be protected. This pristine view of marsh is directly across from the public beach access parking area used by thousands of locals and visitors annually. The Prince George Tract touts over 2,200 feet along Highway 17 and will now be kept as forest land in perpetuity.
