  • What began as a livestock farmer’s remarkable vision, is now widely regarded as America’s premier sporting community. Brays Island founder, Sumner Pingree, was an avid outdoorsman and a steward of the land, and with the help of his close friend and acclaimed land planner, Robert Marvin, they created something truly special. Their unique vision for an abundance of preserved common spaces and a residential community existing in harmony with nature has become today’s remarkable reality. Owners and their guests enjoy a wide array of outdoor sporting and recreational activities nestled in a peaceful, coastal environment. Ideally located in the heart of the South Carolina Lowcountry between Charleston, Savannah, and Beaufort, Brays Island spans across 5,500 acres of pristine land cradled by the headwaters of the Port Royal Sound with direct access to the Atlantic Ocean. When you arrive at Brays Island, you instantly feel connected to the plantation’s unique history, dedication to preservation, and love for life outdoors.
