The X-Factor at DeBordieu

No…Simon Cowl is not coming to visit DeBordieu, or buy property here, but perhaps he should! The x-factor I’m talking about is with regard to building in DeBordieu, the private, oceanfront, golf community just south of Pawleys Island, SC.

I was looking for a concise synopsis of what the x-zone was, couldn’t find one, so I’m writing one. If, after reading, you have any questions, please call or email me at TroiKaz@DeBordieu.com. As you’re reading, please note that the pictures on this page are of lots currently available for sale in the X-zone. Click on the picture
and you will be linked to more information about the lot, its dimensions and additional pictures.

 

Anyone contemplating building near the coast needs to pay close attention to what kind of flood zone in which the home site is located, because this will make a difference in the type of home that can be built. FEMA has defined flood zones according to varying levels of flood risk. This information can be found in the community’s Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) or Flood Hazard Boundary Map. Each zone reflects the severity type of flooding in the area.

In any coastal Carolina area, if you are thinking of building a “raised beach” style home, it doesn’t really matter which area you choose.But if you do not want to build “UP,” you’ll need to either choose a lot with very high elevation, or choose a lot in the x-zone.

The X-Zone is defined by FEMA as an area of moderate to minimalflood hazards. In DeBordieu, you are only required to build 36 inches from grade, so you can literally build almost on the ground, which is a preference for people like me, who don’t like to go up and down a whole lot of steps.

If you choose to build in the AE or V zones, then you must pay attention to the elevation of your lot to know how high your 1st living floor must be. For example, if you choose a lot in the AE 11 zone, and the elevation of the lot is 6 feet above sea level, then you only have to go 5 ft up with your 1st level. Many folks in that instance find that if they have to up 5 feet, they might as well go up 8 or 9 and park underneath, maximize the space on the lot, and take full advantage of the view.

In any case, whether you would like to build a raised home or not,
there has never been a better time to purchase a lot in the X-ZONE at DeBordieu.
Prices of the lots on this page range from $198,000 – $239,000.

From DeBordieu to the Moon!


I have been having WAY too much fun with Google Earth lately.
With version 6, I can fly from outer space right down to the streets of DeBordieu, the private, oceanfront, golf community just south of Pawleys Island.
The new “street view” integrated with the 3D environment, allows me to fly any place around the world and see 3D buildings and terrain.
What I really love about Google Earth 6, is that it allows me to capture images of properties on the market at DeBordieu, particularly homesites, so the potential buyer can see not only what the view corridor will be like once they build, but also the breeze corridor.
The picture of Lot 42 on the right, demonstrates the convenient beach access on the north side of the property for the exclusive use of Ocean Oaks residents.

This Google Earth image of Lot 68 on the left demonstrates that even though this homesite is located on hole #5 of DeBordieu’s private Pete Dye Golf Course, in the middle of the community, the open fairways toward the beach and creek will allow for a little extra breeze on those warm summer days.

These Google Earth images demonstrate views, breeze corridors, and also distances to the beach. which is very important to some buyers considering DeBordieu as a second home or permanant residence. Lot 31 in Dune Oaks (pictured to the right) would be an excellent choice for someone wanting a large lot within walking distance to the beach, with a water view, a high elevation, and abundant oak trees.

WSJ-Now is a Great Time to Buy a Second Home

I ran across this great article today in the Wall Street Journal about Second Homes, and why now is a great time to buy! The link to the entire article is at the bottom of the page. Here are a few of the more interesting quotes:

“The clouds hanging over upscale vacation-home markets are starting to lift.”

“While prices are still falling in most regions, the luxury segment is picking up, and brokers are reporting more inquiries than they have had in years.”

“Five years after housing’s peak, markets that once were out of sight even for well-heeled buyers are now in range.”
According to Douglas Duncan, chief economist at Fannie Mae,“At the top of the market, particularly luxury homes, prices have proven very elastic, and have sprung upward quickly,” he says.

“People have frugality fatigue,” says John Burns, president of John Burns Real Estate Consulting Inc. in Irvine, Calif.

My favorites were these from the recent buyers of Luxury Second Homes:
“The return on a quality-of-life aspect far exceeds any money I might have saved if I waited for prices to fall further.”

“At some point, you see such low interest rates and good prices and you don’t want to wait anymore.”

“My gut feeling is that we didn’t buy at the bottom, we bought one step from the bottom, and for us it was just a great time to buy a place we love.”

“I got the sense that prices were nearing the bottom….If we wanted a good deal on a fabulous home, we had to act quickly.”

Pools at DeBordieu add Fun, Fitness and Funds!


Members at DeBordieu, the private, oceanfront community just south of Pawleys Island, have the option of visiting two different swimming pools at the oceanfront DeBordieu Beach Club. But some members in this exclusive residential neighborhood elect to have their very own pools in their backyards. Fun, Fitness and Funds are some of the reasons!

(The pictures on this page link to homes currently on the market at DeBordieu that feature private pools. Click on the picture to get more details and virtual tours.)

POOLS add Fun! The center of activity for kids and adults alike, a swimming pool in your backyard at DeBordieu can become that special place where fond memories can be made relaxing with friends, family and a favorite cold beverage on a warm summer day or during a riveting round of Marco Polo! That time used packing and unpacking the car or golf cart for the DeBordieu Beach Club can be better spent actually splashing around in the pool. Entertaining is a breeze with a private pool, whether you decide to throw a big party, host a wedding, or just invite a few friends over for dinner and cocktails, a private pool in your back yard at DeBordieu makes for a convenient and perfect setting.

POOLS add Fitness! Swimming is one of the greatest forms of exercise. There is no better way to keep your heart and body in shape than to swim laps in a swimming pool. It will also help you improve your muscle tone and cardiovascular health. Swimming in your own pool does not require as much exertion, or high impact stress on your body as other activities such as running.

POOLS add Funds! Having a private pool has proved to be a big plus at DeBordieu from a financial standpoint. Some people see the addition of swimming pool as an investment. The ladies in the rental department at DeBordieu tell me that many folks prefer to rent a property that has its own pool, even if it’s not on the island. It can also have a positive effect on a home’s resale value.
So if you are looking for a home with a pool, there has never been a better time to consider a purchase at DeBordieu!
