Staging…. OK! Now I’m a believer.

Luxury Home Stager, Martha Mebane, has a way of making a home warm and inviting.

She has recently demonstrated that talent at my listing at 47 Jutland in DeBordieu Colony, the private, oceanfront community just north of Charleston, South Carolina.

I used to not think staging could make a big difference in selling a home. Then I realized I’ve sold 3 of the 5 homes Martha has staged in DeBordieu Colony. OK! I’ve changed my mind! I am now a big believer in staging!

If you need a stager, give me a call and I’ll get you in touch with Martha. Enjoy these pictures and the description of 47 Jutland, then call your realtor to take a closer look. But do it quickly…. When Martha moves in, it won’t be long before it’s time to move out!

Haint Blue…. Not just a Cool Design Trend

Haint Blue… Cool design trend? Or are there other reasons?

Home Owners in the South Carolina Lowcountry have been painting the ceilings of their porches blue for generations. There’s even a name for the color: Haint Blue!”

DeBordieu Colony Real Estate for Sale — 25 Cheraw Way

According to Gullah legend, a haint is a spirit or a ghost. It’s said that if you paint your porch ceiling blue, it will welcome the good spirts and ward off the bad ones.

Some say the blue helps extend daylight as dusk begins to fall, and many believe that it helps keep bugs away. There’s no scientific research to back that theory up, but it makes sense to me. They say that insects prefer not to nest on blue ceilings because they are “fooled” into thinking the blue paint is actually the sky.

When blue paints were first used on ceilings, they were usually milk paints, and those paints often had lye mixed into the composition. Lye is a known insect repellent, which would explain why insects would avoid nesting on a painted porch ceiling or ledge. As milk paint has a tendency to fade over time, giving it a rustic look, people would usually need to repaint their home every year or few years, covering the existing coat with a new coat of paint, and fresh lye.

The DeBordieu homes pictured on this page have wonderful lowcountry porches….some of which are painted haint blue! Click on the picture of the house, or the porch for information and more pictures.

Luxurious Gated Communities

Interesting article on MSN.com today about America’s luxurious gated communities. The Pawleys Island area has some pretty luxurious gated communities that were not mentioned in the article, so I thought I would feature them here.

DCIM100MEDIA — 635 Dune Oaks Drive, Marsh View DeBordieu

DeBordieu Real Estate, Pawleys Island SC — 1277 DeBordieu Blvd. Ocean Front Estate, DeBordieu

According to the article, “gated communities aren’t necessarily fancy — by definition, they’re just neighborhoods surrounded by gates — but security isn’t cheap, often making them synonymous with wealth. There are thousands of gated communities across the country, boasting fine landscaping, million-dollar houses, community pools and even golf courses.”

Elisabeth Miller-Fox, president of PrivateCommunities.com, said, “ gated communities started in places with nice weather but little infrastructure, so developers created private communities to allow people to enjoy the climate and the remote location, without being stranded in the middle of nowhere. Florida and California have a lot of these communities… Overwhelming luxury is a little harder to find, and much harder to afford. But if you have the money, you can get some seriously jaw-dropping amenities.”

It’s those seriously jaw-dropping amenities that make DeBordieu Colony one of the most sought after gated communities in the Pawleys Island area, and on the East Coast. Since the early 70s, generations of families have discovered DeBordieu to be the perfect place for their primary residence or vacation home. DeBordieu is one of three gated oceanfront communities in the Pawleys Island Area. The other two are Prince George and Inlet Point south.

What makes DeBordieu so remarkable, is that in addition to private access to miles of secluded beach, DeBordieu also offers its residents private golf, saltwater creek access to the ocean, a manned security gate, fine dining, tennis, and luxury homes and villas surrounded by thousands of acres of wildlife and nature preserves.

Litchfield Plantation, is a stunning, 400 acre river front community with a private beach house for its residents. Moss draped Live Oaks adorn this gated community located in the heart of Pawleys Island.

Other gated Golf Course Communities in the Pawleys Island area include The Heritage, Pawleys Plantation, The Reserve, Willbrook, and Wachesaw.

For information about any of the communities here, give me a call, text to 843-455-4523 or email TroiKaz@DeBordieu.com and I’ll be happy to help you.
