t’s that time of year again! The days are longer, the weather is warmer...people always seem to enjoy doing more when these changes roll around. Change...that is the key word. When the weather changes, so does the way we do things. Indeed, the nice weather brings us outside more. Then we see the changes we want to make to our home and landscape. We may even venture enough to make our own garden, filled with beautiful plants and flowers for us to enjoy. If a new garden is what you’re thinking of, take a look at some of the best in the area. Beaufort Garden Club is hosting their 24th annual GardenA-Day event the first weekend on June...and Julie Hales, PUBLISHER Beaufort Lifestyle is bringing you a preview of all 10 gardens on the tour. These are sure to inspire you! What wold have been a better time for our annual Home and Garden issue? The answer is “none.” In addition to these beautiful gardens, we have an array of stories and information geared for the home as well. From real estate sales, to builders, to closing attorneys, to plumbers and HVAC repairs, we have a little of it all covered here for you. And, let’s not forget our cover story. Talk about turning gardens into profits... Ross Taylor has found a new and exciting way to make money from Seaside Farms tomato fields...and not take anything away from their normal harvest. Yes....he has developed a Bloody Mary mix that uses the overly ripe and oddly shaped tomatoes that won’t make it to the market....how ingenious. And, read about all the wonderful things going on down in the Village at Port Royal. Carl Joye with Apex Real Estate Team shares all the good things coming to the area and the opportunities you still have available to buy properties in this thriving town. And, last, but certainly not least, you will find a pull-out real estate book from our friends at Berkshire Hathaway-Bay Street Realty Group. These guys worked very hard on this as a way to market their listings in the Beaufort area. Wow...this is just a great issue! Turn the page and see if you agree.

From the Field... to the Glass Ross Taylor: Seaside Grown’s Bloody Mary Mix
story by Cindy Reid
photos by John Wollwerth
“S
easide Grown’s Bloody Mary mix is made from hand-picked, vine ripe tomatoes, so fresh we can even tell you the acre of the field they came from,” says Ross Taylor, creator of St. Helena Island’s newest success story, Seaside Grown Bloody Mary Mix . Although this is their first commercial food product, Ross’s family, the Sanders, are no strangers to the tomato business. As befitting a true Beaufort story, it really starts way back when. Long time commercial farmers, the Sanders have been growing tomatoes on St. Helena Island since the early 1900s. “It all started with Gustav ‘Gus’ Sanders, who began the first commercial tomato farm in the area,” says Ross. As their website says, “Over a century ago, Gus Sanders discovered that the soil on St. Helena Island was just right for producing plump and juicy tomatoes. That’s because the soil is just a tad bit warmer than that of inland farms, which makes it perfect for harvesting the best tomatoes. “Their longevity can be attributed to the superiority of their crop, because as Ross says, “We are known for growing the best tasting, mouthwatering tomatoes on the East Coast.” And while that’s true, it is one thing to grow a food crop and it is quite another to create, market and sell an entirely new commercial food product. In this case, it started when Gus’s great grandson Ross was at Clemson University. Ross says, “It happened to be harvest season and my college buddies came to town - one thing led to another and that’s how our hearty and delicious Bloody Mary Mix came to be.” Ross says the secret recipe is based on a long held family recipe that just needed a few tweaks to make it shelf stable. Seaside Grown is different from most Bloody Mary mixes because it is a “real Bloody Mary mix, made from red ripe tomatoes and not tomato paste.” says Ross ,” We can tell you exactly what field each tomato in any given
jar came from. We compare this to the bottling of rose wine. Not only do we know what field, we know the day and date the tomatoes in every jar of mix was picked.” He says, “This is a family grown, handpicked, farm to table product.” People are noticing and the mix is selling out. Last October, they made 350 cases and they were sold out by December 31, 2017. Ross says, “Being certified South Carolina Grown is not just a necessary part of production. To us, it’s an honor and a matter of taste. We are blessed to be able to grow God’s finest tomato in a beautiful part of the world with our family and friends—there is truly nothing better than that. Seaside Grown Bloody Mary Mix is a natural extension of this attention to quality and pride in producing the very best product possible.” Seaside Grown also has the added benefit of utilizing tomatoes that are too ripe, misshapen or not perfect enough to be sent to market. Ross says, “We sell, pack and ship tens of millions of pounds of tomatoes in the month of June and approximately twenty percent of the crop doesn’t make the grade. Of those, ninety percent are fine and by creating a food
product we can make use of what would otherwise go to waste.” Their current label is fun- “One taste and we think you will agree- it’s finer than frog’s hair! If it ain't fresh, it ain’t' in our pot!” Upcoming will be a new label which will show St. Helena Island on a nautical chart because people want to know exactly where Seaside Farm, Frogmore South Carolina is located. Ross will also be adding information on the website regarding a popular food use for the mix- using it to make local favorite Savannah Red Rice. Of course the mix can be enjoyed as a “Virgin Mary,” a non alcoholic version, as well. Future production plans include adding salsa, salsa verde and other fresh tomato products to the Seaside Grown label. First up will be “Gus’s Spicy Mix,” a Bloody Mary mix that has more of a kick to it. Ross says, “We are that rare combo, a successful commercial farm that is still small enough to create our own products. At the end of the day, we are a family grown product.” MacDonald MarketPlace Another family production is the

MacDonald MarketPlace, located on Sea island Parkway, St. Helena Island. Ross is the General Manager of the store, which was built by James Ross Macdonald in 1877. Although it had been in several different hands over the years, the Sanders are now running the store their ancestor founded. The MarketPlace features “Antiques, Home & Art, The Essence of Lowcountry Living” as well as the Seaside Grown line in their cozy kitchen room. Ultimately, the MacDonald Market Place brings together many local artisans, giving them a beautiful and historic space to market their work. One can find everything from local paintings to antiques, lamps to photographs and much more. It is a giant jewel box of artisan treats. Taylor Offshore By land and sea, Ross is also an entrepreneur in another coastal endeavor. As co-creator of Taylor Offshore, he and two other classmates from Clemson invented a quick connect system specific to off shore sport fishing rigs. Their website says it is “The easiest and fastest way to catch fish.” He says, “ We spent eight years in research and development to make this the best quick release system on the market. Our product is represented all

over the world, Panama, Costa Rico, South Africa, all the big off shore locales.” When asked why this product, he says, “Off shore fishing is very much a passion of mine. I try to go every other month.” He says his favorite off shore fishing spot is the Zane Grey Reef in Pinas Bay, Panama, “There nothing close to it!” He also likes the fishing in Los Suenos, Costa Rico. Ross and his wife, Lisa, make their home in Beaufort. They recently celebrated their five year anniversary and Ross says although they love downtown Beaufort, they may well move out to the island in the near future. He says, “We love the peace and quiet of the island.” When asked what his favorite place in Beaufort is, this busy entrepreneur answers, “There is a creek off Station Creek on the island and it is a good place to get in the boat and be alone. That’s where I go to get away from it all. It’s quiet and beautiful out there.” “When you mix family, six generations of tomato growers, great friends, the warm sea, summertime harvests and God’s finest tomatoes, you have just uncovered the magic behind Seaside Grown!” Seaside Grown Bloody Mary Mix can be found at Bill’s Liquors & Fine Wine on Lady’s Island and MacDonald Marketplace on St. Helena Island.

In spite of weathering two damaging hurricanes in the past 20 months, bringing heavy wind, flooding, salt intrusion and then snow and multiple weeks of below-freezing weather, Low Country gardeners were not deterred even though local landscapes were altered, many permanently. “Gardeners are amazing, adaptable, persistent people who will produce greenery and blooms no matter what is thrown their way,” said Sheila Drouin, the 2018 Garden-A-Day Chair. “For a week in June, thanks to ten homeowners, you will be experiencing the splendor that is Beaufort. And, it’s absolutely free!” said Jane Culley, President, The Beaufort Garden Club. Garden visitors are asked to not bring pets. Check out the gardens for this year’s event.

ccording to Nick and Maryanne Friend, “your garden says who you are…it represents you and what you enjoy.” For avid gardener Nick, that is color. It is the first thing he thinks about when choosing a plant. Nick says, “Placement is the most difficult question to answer, but you can always make room for a plant that you love.” Sometimes, Nick thinks about new plantings for weeks before implementing them. As an antique lover, he loves to mix old things, a chair, tricycle, and signs, among the azaleas and ferns. “Gardening is a lot of work, but, if done right, your garden will speak to you.” As Nick gazes upon the wrought iron fencing, the living fence, the many brick walkways and fountain, he says with great satisfaction, “This garden is all mine.”

aving taken a few trips to Paris and the south of France to visit their daughter, Doug and Laura Schuler fell in love with the architecture and gardens they saw there. As Laura is an artist, and dreamed of having her own separate studio space, they selected their lot in order to build an art studio with the right light conditions, and a space for a small, private garden area between the house and studio. Doug related, “When I designed the house, studio (aka “Atelier des Artistes”) and the small garden spaces surrounding the property, it all came together in a style we call Low Country meets the south of France.” Several key elements define the orientation and setting to feature and preserve a live oak, central fountain, brick-edged gravel pathways and sitting areas, the parterres, main pergola and arbors, living fence and a raised bed garden with an arbor for vines and a hanging, stained glass door as a backdrop. Although most plants were left to ‘discovery,’ camellias, hydrangeas and hostas were ‘must-haves’ from the beginning. The Schulers’ daughter gifted them with several David Austin roses, which began ‘The War of the Roses’ at their property. “Talk about learning the hard way,” exclaims Doug. “The second time the deer pruned my roses as a salad bar, something had to be done, therefore the wrought iron fence and gates were erected.” As a gardening artist, Doug continues to enjoy the changing light conditions throughout the day, and learn from the varied planting opportunities the light creates.

he compact garden surrounding Fran and Chuck Symes’ historic home has evolved around existing structures, a pool and placement of neighbor’s trees. According to Fran, “this has offered both the opportunity and challenge of accommodating varying microclimate growing conditions.” As a consequence, she has established a collection of ferns in one area, sun loving plants in another, and those in-between plants tucked away in pockets. Fran has created such an attractive, edible landscape, that one has to really search to distinguish the foods from the ornamentals. “I’m especially pleased with the espaliered pear trees, and Chuck and I also enjoy our citrus trees, blueberry bushes, herbs and vegetables.”

hen Kurt Rosell and his wife Jill visited Beaufort, they found a house in the exact right location. The only problem was the whole property was in really bad shape. Kurt says “Jill saw the potential,” and said “here’s what we’re going to do.” So, planning to retire here one year later, they purchased the property in December 2016, and she master-minded the complete home renovation and design. Then tragedy struck, and Jill was unexpectedly taken from her family by a brain aneurism in August 2017. Later, Kurt hired a landscape designer to complement the clean, yet relaxed, lines of the recently remodeled home. He wanted a garden that enhanced and balanced the overall look of the home, instead of creating competition. With the only request being no ferns, the plants installed were chosen to minimize maintenance, while providing a lush green palette that would withstand summer heat and lots of shade. The podocarpus at the rear adds a symmetrical frame of privacy, while the flowering shrubs and trees create a more interesting mixture of height and depth. Additional green space was created when the existing Koi pond was filled in and covered with sod. The sod, along with the addition of a living fence, also created a play space for the family pets. The groundcover throughout the remainder of the garden was installed to add just a touch of color, while adding a hardy, low-maintenance base. Finally, the boxwood hedge in front was chosen to add texture to the brick and Charleston Green foundation, while mirroring the border at the rear and completing the natural frame around the home. Kurt reflects, “Jill was the reason we bought the house, and the reason it looks the way it does now. I love being in the space she designed for us, but it is bittersweet.”

ugmenting the topography’ sounds intimidating and frightening to most gardeners…but, not to Brad and Eliza Hill, who are both Certified Landscape Architects. The Hills wanted to provide a more welcoming approach to their home. So, they have augmented the topography, constructed a front entry walk, retaining walls and new entry steps, along with adding landscape lighting and a fountain. “We have developed the bed lines of the front garden to draw the viewer in,” says Eliza. Due to the close proximity of the adjacent residence, a shade garden has been developed on the right side of the house, and a brick path installed to connect to the rear yard. Substantial regrading of the rear yard followed, along with construction of retaining walls, in order to achieve a level area for entertaining. Here, mass plantings of ferns frame the walks and fire pit area. Brad explains, “Our choice of plant materials is fairly eclectic, due to our desire to ‘test out’ various new plant introductions for cold tolerance and adaptability to theLow Country climate and soils. We want to be sure of the level of maintenance required for any plants, before recommending their use in clients’ gardens!”

essica Brown wistfully remembers, “Plant-wise, we took a big hit with Hurricane Matthew, and lost all of the Hickory trees in our front yard.” She and husband, Lex, knew they had to design a new front yard to accommodate the altered, fullsun conditions. “We decided on a real Low Country look. We put in 3 beautiful, Sabal Palm trees, new flower beds surrounded by grasses, and a river rock display.” In other beds they have a variety of shrubs, flowers and exuberantly-blooming window boxes. “Our back yard now gets a direct hit of afternoon sun; therefore we can only put in plants that can take the heat.” In the back yard overlooking the river, Jessica has a variety of palms mixed with tall grasses, flowering perennials for the butterflies, an herb garden, and a beautiful rock fire pit that surrounds the pool.

ost of the garden at “Maude Manor” is primarily in the shade. So, Teri Maude asked a landscape architect to design the plantings around dogwoods, which were her late husband’s favorite trees. Lieutenant General Timothy Maude, was tragically lost in the 9/11 Pentagon bombing. Teri states, “there are multiple live and water oaks on the property, which leave the street side in shade most of the day.” Her dogwood trees eventually succumbed to the Beaufort malaise, so now the focal point of this part of the garden are the fatsias and evergreen azaleas. The back side of Teri’s property faces the Beaufort River and is a mix of sun and shade in the afternoon. Highlights in this area are azalea, lily, and Gerbera daisy plantings. Teri exclaims, “The area I love best is the rose garden on the sunny, west side of the house. It is a surprise to most, as it cannot be seen from the street; but, is full of well-established, yellow, ‘Midas Touch’ hybrid tea roses, which delight me for many reasons.”

y husband, Steve, and I work well together as a landscaping team,” shares Patricia, a Master Gardener. The couple moved to Beaufort almost four years ago, to a small overgrown lot. From the beginning, Patricia knew she wanted an edible garden with organic fruits and vegetables. Steve has installed raised beds for vegetables and hardscaping, with the essential herb garden just outside the kitchen door. In the sunny front yard are several citrus trees in pots and the ground, as well as blueberry bushes and a cocktail tree. Patricia said, “I was delighted to learn that we have multiple seasons to grow vegetables here. My crops have included tomatoes, a variety of peppers, cantaloupe, lettuces, kale and collards.” Since no garden is complete without color, Patricia added crepe myrtle, encore azaleas and nandina, with an under planting of dianthus in the back yard. She planted firecracker plant, which was new to her, and it flourished. It went on to win ‘best in show’ at The Beaufort Garden Club-sponsored local flower show. “It just goes to show you what soil amendments can do to boost flower power, as we are constantly composting.” The Howells’ yard is certified as a native wildlife habitat by the National Wildlife Federation; and, includes an area devoted to attracting butterflies and pollinators, with several native species of fringe tree, St. John’s wort, milkweed and spiderwort.

garden that is mostly full sun can be a challenge in Beaufort. Trea and Tom Tucker will be celebrating their 3 rd summer this year in the new house they built. Trea says, “We are learning by doing. I have tried to pick hardy plants that can take the heat and full sun.” Of course many of hersun-loving plants were not fond of this past, unusually cold winter. She lost many fruit trees and some other tropical plants.“I am trying to have more perennials for easy-keeping, but we love so many annuals, too. Attracting butterflies and hummingbirds is always a goal for me when choosing plants.” When they built a pool, Trea planted the tall, tennis court fence behind them with Confederate Jasmine, which has now almost totally covered the fence.The Tuckers felt they needed something between the pool and fence, so they planted a screen of large holly bushes, and placed a fountain in the middle. Trea sighs happily, “We also planted clump bamboo on both sides of the yard so we can have total privacy when it all matures. It is our oasis.”

onny says, “I try to attend Garden-A- Day every year, as well as the Cashiers, NC, garden tour.” She often picks up ideas and sees new plants she can’t wait to try in her own garden. The Carmody property is a broad expanse on the Beaufort River, which correctly honors the aesthetic and conservation codes of keeping the marsh banks natural with original native plants, like yaupon and coral bean. “I adore tropical plants, and have established collections of gingers, alocasias and clerodendrums throughout the garden. Of course, it remains to be seen if these tropicals will thrive after our exceptionally hard winter.” Other highlights of Bonny and Douglas’s gardens include an Australian tree fern, an herb garden, an olive and citrus tree grove and a greenhouse near the pool, guest house and outdoor entertainment area. Bonny’s garden is a perfect reflection of her personality: warm, colorful and bubbly.

In addition to the news of the Distillery and Hank’s coming to the Beaufort Town Center Shopping Plaza, there are several other businesses that plan to open in 2018! Rotten Little Bastard Distillery is a family owned and operated Craft Spirits Distiller. They handcraft high quality spirits, using locally sourced ingredients. They pride themselves on their knowledge and passion for trying something new and reflecting this in their product and their caring customer service. Growing up outside of Las Vegas, Brian Fackrell was often up to no good. This prompted his mother to jokingly refer to him as that Rotten Little Bastard. Many years later, when Brian and his wife and kids moved to the verdant Lowcountry of South Carolina from the Nevada desert, they not only found a new home, but a new lifestyle. This big city worldliness meets relaxed southern charm is reflected in the quality of each handcrafted bottle of spirits from Rotten Little Bastard Distillery. Local products are used to create their spirits, while sustainable packaging shows their family's commitment to the future. At their Distillery, you will be treated like an old friend and that comfortable Lowcountry relaxed feeling will follow you home in every bottle.
Hank's Lowcountry She Crab Soup will be opening in Beaufort Town Center this Fall. Inspired by the influence of Lowcountry cuisine, Chef Hank Yaden has contributed to its offerings. He was handed a recipe in 1985 that was said to be one of the original recipes for She Crab Soup from the butler that created it in 1903. He developed it and now has made it his own. Hank's Lowcountry She Crab Soup became a reality when Chef Yaden decided to follow his lifelong dream and sell his awardwinning soup by the sea shore. Chef Yaden chose Beaufort Town Center because it's in the center of Beaufort with a diversity of businesses. Their hours will be M-Th 11am-9pm, Friday and Saturday 11am-10pm, and Sunday Brunch from 10-3. Guests will experience a counter-serve fast-casual atmosphere very similar to what they've come to expect at the Farmer's Markets and festivals. There will be seating to eat-in, as well as the capability to produce large and small to-go orders.
There are still several opportunities for restaurants and retail businesses throughout Beaufort Town Center. In addition to restaurant and retail opportunities, One Beaufort Town Center offers ideal office spaces and executive suites, perfect for lawyers, consultants, engineers, and much more!

2018 Coastal Living Idea House at Habersham story by Cindy Reid
eautifully situated on the Port Royal Sound, the 2018 Coastal Living Idea House is located on the banks of the Broad River in a picturesque setting within the community of Habersham, an oasis of Southern charm ideally located on the water just minutes from historic Beaufort, South Carolina. The Idea House is a project that pulls together the talented team of house designer, builder and interior decorator to create a custom built house utilizing new and fresh ideas. After completion the house will be featured in Coastal Living Magazine, then open to the public for tours on July 5, 2018. One of the most scenic locations in the lowcountry, Habersham is entering their 20th year and the master-planned community has only improved with time. Accolades and national recognition for the community has come from several prestigious publications and they were recently selected as South Carolina’s premiere Southern Living Inspired Community by the editors of Southern Living Magazine. “In January, 2018 Coastal Living named Habersham #4 in the magazine’s “Top 20 Places to Live” alongside other great destinations such as Santa Cruz, California

photos by Jonathan Herron
and Newport, Rhode Island. Community design, location and coastal lifestyle were all considerations in the selection process conducted by a panel of accomplished editors, writers, designers and planners.” (www.habershamsc.com) From Coastal Living …”This year’s Idea House is in one of our 20 Best Places to Live: Habersham, South Carolina. Located just seven miles from Beaufort, South Carolina, this master-planned community
has a New Urbanism-inspired design that still feels classic. The National Association of Home Builders even awarded Habersham the title of Best Neighborhood Design in America. Both a Coastal Living community and a Southern Living inspired community, Habersham exemplifies the authentic and relaxed waterfront life native to the Lowcountry. Stroll through woodland and waterfront parks, shop at the Town’s Central Marketplace, or
2002 Coastal Living Cottage of the Year
enjoy outdoor activities, like boating and fishing.” Robert Turner, President of Habersham Land Company, says, “We are delighted to partner with Coastal Living on the Idea House. We enjoyed working with Coastal Living twice in the past, in 2001 and 2002, when we did the Cottage of the Year projects. The Idea House works well at Habersham because we have a great team and a wonderful supporting community.” “Being involved with Coastal Living on the Idea House also brings a value to our neighborhood as a whole and we appreciate being recognized for our award winning community. It takes work and effort to make the Idea House happen but we are happy to do it because the benefit is exposure for the community, and it helps get the word out about Habersham. The concept fits perfectly with what we are trying to do here in terms of highlighting innovation and style.” “With the Idea House we are given the opportunity to showcase contemporary products and share inspiration for new creative ideas and cool designs. The house has very nice unique finishes and is a real departure from clichés. It is a fresh take
2001 Coastal Living Idea House
on the lowcountry concept. “The tour starts on July 5 and runs through October 28, 2018. Robert says, “There will be docents leading the tours at the house. It is fun for individuals and also a good trip for groups. It is a popular event, last time approximately 5000 people toured through the Idea house. Come tour the house and stay to enjoy lunch at one of our restaurants. Enjoy our downtown area and make a day of it.” The House The house design is truly unique, because what you see from the street only tells a portion of the story. At the Idea House traditional lowcountry gets an update with some very interesting design features. House Designer Eric Moser, president of Moser Design Group, Inc., a residential design and New Urbanist planning firm based in Beaufort, South Carolina, capitalizes on the spectacular views afforded by the cottage’s location on the banks of the Broad River. He says, “It is an incredible lot and I worked with the contours of the land as I developed the creative design. The house lays lightly on the property.”
A resident of Habersham himself, Moser specializes in making homes meant for the long haul, using sustainable materials and new configurations and technologies. For the Idea House, Moser seeks to maintain the character of a small coastal cottage while working on a grander scale. “Our goal was to create spaces filled with light offering the opportunity to throw the doors open, and enjoy the wonderful coastal environment,” says Moser. He creates seamless transitions from interior to exterior, starting with a broad front porch that enters into a generous living space, which flows out to a large screened porch and a courtyard beyond.” Moser says, “A big key to the design is that in its entirety it is one room deep. That gives the house an enormous amount of natural light and ensures breezes from front to back. And every room has beautiful views of the water. “ Well known Beaufort, SC builder Allen Patterson Residential began work on the Idea House late last year. Southern Living recognized Patterson’s Midtown redevelopment neighborhood in downtown Beaufort as its 2013 Home Awards’ “Community Development of the Year” and the firm is part of the Southern Living Custom Builder Program. Interior Design Designer Jenny Keenan of Charleston, SC brings her creative vision to this year’s Idea House. She says “Habersham is beautiful, the trees, the Spanish moss, the spacious lots. And I love the town center!” She says, “Working on the Idea House has been a great experience. Eric Moser’s design is fabulous because the house has a modern feel but also incorporates the very unique lowcountry sensibility.” Keenan says the Idea House gives her the opportunity to create a color palette “ to show everyone that you don’t have to have an all blue and white look out on the beach or here on the coast. By using pinks, corals, yellows we can bring a vibrant yet www.BeaufortLifestyle.com | May 2018
21
cozy feel to the house. The downstairs living and dining space will have peacock blue grass cloth walls and there will be a lot of textures and tiles.” She says she incorporated fabrics to create texture and tie everything together, “The whole house has a globally sourced feel.” Some of the unique features at the Idea House include the room with the stunning pecky cypress walls, the range hood hidden behind decorative tile, the black base of the master bath’s bathtub, and the pink tile in the
22 May 2018 | www.BeaufortLifestyle.com
upstairs bathroom. Keenan is a member of Coastal Living Designer Network and says, “Coastal Living is great, I would do anything for them! It was flattering to be asked to be part of the Idea House. It is the first time I have worked with this team and they have been wonderful.” Tour Dates Along with appearing in Coastal Living’s September 2018 issue, the Idea House will
open to the public for tours on July 5 and remain open through October 28. Tickets can be purchased at the Habersham Land Office at 22 Market Street; Beaufort SC. Tickets will be $15 each with a portion going to an affiliated charity.

For you luxury or resort home to provide you with the largest return on your investment, it must be exposed to the greatest number of prospective buyers. There are a number of reasons why the ultimate buyer of your home may emerge from outside your local market or region.
Affluent consumers are generally more mobile and more likely to be frequent flyers, with more discretionary income available for travel. The growth of telecommuting may enhance the appeal of resort properties in small towns, resort communities and rural locations. Individuals of significant wealth may not wish to identify themselves as potential resort homebuyers until they discover a marketed property that piques their interest.
Berkshire Hathway HomeServices International assists sellers in showcasing their Luxury and Resort Properties through multi-media advertising campaigns that have global reach. In conjunction with ad placements in targeted travel publications and websites, we leverage our extensive database of prospects as we implement a comprehensive direct marketing and digital strategy to ensure your property receives the attention it deserves.

FREEDOM BOAT CLUB at Port Royal Landing Marina story by Cindy Reid
photos by Paul Nurnberg
reedom Boat Club was founded in 1989 in Sarasota, Florida. It is the oldest and largest boat club in the nation. The vision and purpose in establishing the boat club model was simple and straightforward: to provide an affordable option to boat ownership and to deliver a hassle-free recreational boating experience for its members. Today, Freedom Boat Club welcomes and embraces a broad mix of members to its ranks, from first-time boaters and newbies, to seasoned salts and former boat owners, from young families to active retired. Freedom Boat Club is also actively engaged in developing new and diverse markets. Anyone who loves the water and water-related activities is embraced as a member of Freedom Boat Club! PORT ROYAL BOATING The owners of the Freedom Boat Club (FBC) at Hilton Head and Port Royal are Cassius “Cash” Mullen and Gayle Schaffner. They are from Pennsylvania where they lived and worked until moving to the lowcountry six years ago. Cash is a mechanic by trade and started his own auto repair facility in Carlisle, Pennsylvania at the age of nineteen. He owned and operated his business for
50 May 2018 | www.BeaufortLifestyle.com
thirty years before selling it to two of his employees in 2011. Gayle’s career has centered on office administration and human resources. Both Cash and Gayle had simultaneous career opportunities to move south earlier than their anticipated retirement years so they moved to Bluffton in 2012. Soon after their move south, Cash discovered
Freedom Boat Club in Hilton Head and subsequently joined the club. Cash was immediately impressed with the concept of Freedom Boat Club. When he wasn’t traveling for his job as a driving instructor, he enjoyed boating, mostly fishing, in Hilton Head waters, always using their membership in the FBC. When an opportunity to purchase the Hilton Head franchise came up Cash and Gayle acted on it and purchased the franchise in March 2015. Together they worked to grow the Hilton Head franchise and in less than three years they were able to expand it from a fleet of 14 boats to 24 boats. Buoyed by their success and seeing a need in northern Beaufort County, they opened a second location in Beaufort/ Port Royal in August 2017. Port Royal is a beautiful town next to Beaufort which has stunning waters to enjoy. FBC in Port Royal operates out of the picturesque Port Royal Landing Marina. This location was chosen because of its close proximity and easy access to downtown Beaufort and the surrounding Sea Islands. A nice feature at the Port Royal Landing Marina is the waterfront restaurant, the Back Porch Café, where you can enjoy fresh shrimp or a burger. Only minutes away from the sound and open waters to the ocean, this location is located on Intercoastal
Waterway (ICW). Close by is downtown Beaufort, which boasts a variety of shops and restaurants along the Beaufort River. In Port Royal and Hilton Head, FBC members enjoy boats such as Sea Hunt, Parker, Scout, Key West, and Hurricane. There are a variety of types of boats that include bow riders, deck boats, center console boats, and pontoon boats. There truly is a boat for every taste and need. MEMBERSHIP Freedom Boat Club is designed for folks who want to access a versatile fleet of boats without the hassles and expense of maintenance, storage, and insurance. You join the club by paying a one-time entry fee, then affordable monthly dues. Members have unlimited access to boats in their home club(s) as well as use of boats in the 160 plus other FBC locations throughout the U.S. and Canada. In addition, FBC Corporate recently announced a major franchise expansion in Europe. The company expects to announce multiple Freedom Boat Club operations in France, with additional expansion elsewhere throughout Europe to follow. FBC is a major proponent of boater education and safety. Membership includes unlimited training, so whether you’ve never boated before, or you’ve boated for years, FBC welcomes you as a member.
Here’s what our members are saying: "I'm a long-time satisfied member of the club. Reliable well maintained boats, fair pricing, accommodating and friendly staff, ample availability of boats---what's not to like??? The best way to enjoy the water!" . . . John O’Neal “We have been FBC members for 3 years and enjoy boating at least one time each week. A boat is available whenever we need it and we greatly appreciate the care given to maintain the boats in excellent condition. We look forward to many more years of positive boating experiences!!” . . . Dr. Larry Fleming “Joining Freedom Boat Club has proven to be the best decision for getting out on the water whenever we want. Whether cruising or fishing, the boats are kept in great shape. Best of all, no dock fees, insurance or maintenance worries for members of FBC - just fun on the water” . . . Jim Wilkins “My wife and I have been members of the Hilton Head Freedom Boat Club since 2012 and we have absolutely loved this amenity to enjoy with our two young kids. Being able to reserve any style boat I want for any day that I want is perfect for us. Showing up to a boat that is clean, fueled and ready to go is priceless to me.” . . Chris Walker

Living the Dream in the Old Village of Port Royal story by Carl Joye with Apex Real Estate
W
here Battery Creek meets Beaufort River, leading out to the Atlantic Ocean, is Port Royal Sound. It is there that lies the sleepy little South Carolina town of Port Royal. First explored by Frenchman Jean Ribaut in 1562, the town was named after the sound it overlooks. Eventually avenues were named after international cities such as Paris, London, Madrid, Columbia, Richmond and Edinburgh. These streets were laid north to south, intersected by numbered streets running east to west. Over the years, the southern tip of the Port Royal peninsula, the deepest natural port on the Atlantic coast, became an active shipping port connected to the mainland by a railroad along the western shore. Until recently, this 50-acre tract with 2 miles of waterfront property has been fenced and controlled by the Ports Authority. In 2006, Governor Sanford closed the Port and ordered it sold. Ten years later, Governor Hailey accomplished the sale, returning the property to the town. As the fences come down and development progresses, the excitement of anticipated changes grows stronger. The vision of connecting the western shore back to the Old Village and keeping the waterfront open to the public is certain to enhance the natural beauty of Port Royal with its abundant majestic

centuries old Spanish Moss draped Live Oak trees throughout the Old Village. The community that exists today will be enhanced and grow stronger becoming even more one of the most desirable places to make home on the southeastern coast. Excitement is in the air with anticipation of the 50-acre Waterfront Development at the Old Village of Port Royal in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. From the spectacular eastern sunrises over Beaufort River to the stunning western sunsets over Battery Creek, the point of Port Royal is truly unique with never ending salt marsh and river vistas. Situated on the intra-coastal waterway at
the mouth of Port Royal sound, the over 2 miles of waterfront property is on the deepest natural port on the East Coast with unobstructed access to the Atlantic Ocean between Hunting Island State Park and Hilton Head Island. The plan for the property consists of three major development areas, all connecting to the existing Old Village to create a new vibrant walking community with access to the waterfront for all. Detailed planning continues from one end to the other of this unique property. Along Battery Creek, the Dry Stack Marina in the Port Village is set to open any day and renovations at Port Royal’s premier
waterfront seafood restaurant to be known as Fishcamp at 11th are underway. Much of this​that is underway is expected to open in July. Unsure of exactly what the remaining development will become, but it is certain to be something very special! East of London Avenue, and down Sands Beach Road, lies Port Royal's most treasured natural park. It features the Sands, boardwalk and observation tower, Port Royal Sound boat landing, all with expansive eastern views over Beaufort River, southern views over Port Royal Sound, and western views down Battery Creek. Sit and enjoy a sunny day on the beach nearly any time of the year or drop your boat in the river and explore the endless rivers the Lowcountry offers. Enjoy an early morning or afternoon stroll from the Old Village or ride down in your golf cart to admire the spectacular colorful sunrises and sunsets that are simply beyond compare. Walk through the narrow path through the high marsh to the western end of the boardwalk, climb the observation tower for a stunning birds eye view and continue down the boardwalk across the boat landing to the Sands. Mother nature has a new light show to amaze every day. The boardwalk also connects the Sands to the Port Village, with its soon to open Dry Stack Marina, where you can store your boat and call ahead to have it waiting for your fishing or river cruising adventure. Plenty of experienced boat captains are ready and waiting to show you where the plentiful fishing is at its best. Home sites and homes are planned adjacent to this beautiful area bringing it even closer to home. Relax or play on the beach, kayak the rivers, fill your cooler with fish, or cruise the river to sandbars or the nearby Atlantic Ocean beaches. It’s all available for you just a short walk from the Old Village of Port Royal down Sands Beach Road. The 50-acre waterfront development
site in the Old Village of Port Royal is known as the Port Village. It is at the eastern end of the site, the south end of Paris Avenue, where the old shipping port greeted cargo ships from all over the world. Boasting the deepest natural port on the east coast, with unobstructed access to the Atlantic Ocean, the port anticipates welcoming ships again, this time carrying passengers for pleasure instead of cargo. Over 270-degree views from east to west offer opportunities to witness the most amazing sunrises and sunsets found anywhere in the world. Anchored by a future upscale full-service hotel with supporting shops and restaurants along Battery Creek, the Port Village will soon grow to become the commercial town center with large and smaller public parks to rest, relax and enjoy summer breezes from the salt marshes and rivers. Already in progress, and soon to open, is the Dry Stack Marina with waterfront walkway and grassed park area connecting the Port Village to the boardwalk and beach area. The old port building overhanging Battery Creek with two story interior spaces with all its development possibilities is the major existing feature. The former spacious rail yard, adjacent to the Port building, offers plenty of space for
future development of retail and dining spaces. This is all tied together by natural parks and the future extended waterfront boardwalk. Endless opportunities and unmatched anticipation await all who currently live and are soon to come to this unique waterfront playground in South Carolina's Lowcountry. The area of the 50-acre waterfront development site known as the Marina Village is in the center of the site. At the west end of 11th Street, this is the area where countless shrimp, oysters and blue crabs were harvested and brought to the existing shrimp boat docks to be processed for wide distribution. In recent years, Dockside at 11th Street seafood restaurant offered local seafood dining overlooking sunsets and shrimp boats. Currently under renovation and scheduled to open this summer, Fishcamp at 11th waterfront seafood restaurant will soon be ready to take over the space. A combination of retail and residential development will soon compliment this area along with a new 225 slip marina in the calm waters of Battery Creek located just minutes from the intra-coastal waterway, Beaufort River and Port Royal Sound. Walk to the beach and boardwalk through the Port Village to the east or to

Harrison Bluff, to the west. Ride your bike to Historic Downtown Beaufort down the Spanish Moss Trail along the abandoned railroad which used to serve the port. The Marina Village is the perfect place to work or make your home to enjoy everything a coastal community has to offer. The area of the 50-acre waterfront development site known as Harrison Bluff is at the west end of the site, along Edinburgh and Columbia Avenues at 13th through 16th Streets. The area has been mostly undisturbed and is heavily wooded with Lives Oaks. This is where trains occasionally traveled and white tail deer found shelter. Fifteen acres of high bluffs overlooking Battery Creek's salt marsh sunsets will soon provide home sites for single family interior and waterfront homes with private and community docks along with community parks for all to enjoy. Townhouses along the town's existing streets and avenues may also be available for maintenance free living. Easily access all Port Royal has to offer by walking or biking down the Spanish Moss Trail or riding your golf cart through the town's streets and avenues. Plans are coming soon for the layout of Port Royal's premier residential community. Adjacent properties along the development's edge will add to the opportunities available for all who choose to live in the Old Village of Port Royal, the newest old coastal town in the south. As the waterfront development in the Old Village of Port Royal starts to gain speed, interest in buying homes, home sites and development properties is increasing. People from local areas and beyond are looking to find out just what opportunities are available now and in the future. Uncertainty of exactly what single family homes, townhomes, and home sites will be available and what exactly will become of the 50-acre waterfront development in general makes it difficult to get in early and reserve your spot. Information available at this point is there

will be fewer than 20 marsh front home sites with unbelievable expansive views at the Sands beach area, about 80 home sites at the Harrison Bluff area featuring a private dock with boat slips, and a gated townhouse community in the Marina Village area with reservations possibly starting late this year. Plans are currently being developed at this time and when more specifics are available about these limited opportunities is unclear. Much will be developed around the new Fishcamp at 11thwaterfront seafood restaurant and is projected to open before July 4 of this year. Other exciting news in the town, both in and out of the 50-acre development, is the anticipation of the opening of the new restaurant named Madison’s on 10th Street inside the Old Village where Moon Doggies was located for many years. Homes and home sites available today are scattered around the Old Village. Homes of varying ages, size and condition are being privately marketed and sold. What is currently available changes daily and the current inventory can be found at www.DiscoverPortRoyal.com. Homes range from a 2500 square foot, 4 bedroom, 4 ½ bath, 3 car garage with unique 180 degree expansive views of Port Royal Sound and Sands Beach to a 730 square foot, 2 bedroom, 1 bath older home on an interior 75 foot by 100 foot.
Many home sites are currently available in the Old Village including five, 50-foot-wide by 100-foot-deep lots on 11th Street and 55-foot-wide by 150-footdeep waterfront lot on 10th Street with expansive sunrise views, and an interior lot 50-foot lot by 100-foot lot on 9th Street by Madison’s restaurant. There are 12 Streets adjacent to the Marina Village, one street with many other scattered parcels along with development properties available today and in the future around in Port Royal, both inside and outside of the small area known as the Old Village. As interest begins to rise, prices will follow, making today the best time to secure your piece of Port Royal paradise. Many properties in Port Royal are older, modest homes that most likely will be replaced over time as land values and demand continues to increase. Working in our Port Royal office over the past 15 years and living here over the past 50 years, we’ve seen the changes first hand Properties values boomed in 2006 at the announcement of the port closure, plummeted in 2010 with the nationwide real estate crash, and are now invigorated with the sale of the port property. Once again, there is never a better time to invest your future in the Old Village of Port Royal, both inside and outside of the 50-acre development. Stop by our Apex Team Real Estate office at 1503 Paris Avenue in Port Royal to find out the latest and greatest opportunity for you.

DINING FEATURE
Madison’s – Where the Locals Eat
A
mong the many heady changes coming to Port Royal, one is the new restaurant Madison’s, located in the heart of the village at 925 10th Street. From the retro funky sign in the front of the building, to the wonderfully restored and enhanced historic building, Madison’s certainly has the right look and feel. But it is their food, the local sourced and family farmed food, their inventive and original menu, that will make Madison’s your new favorite restaurant. Owners Evan and brother Brent Hallinan were born and raised in Charleston, making them authentic Southerners, and like all (yes all) Southerners they know their way around a kitchen. Brent says they have thirty eight years of restaurant experience between them, with Evan as chef and Brent in restaurant management. When they were ready to open their own place, they looked downstream from Charleston and searched Beaufort county for the perfect venue. The decision was made easy when Evan found this location (the former “Moondoggies” restaurant). Evan says, “This was a beautiful property and it was in great proximity to Parris Avenue, which we liked. The live oaks and historic charm reminded me of the Charleston of our youth.” They closed on the building in December 2017 and haven’t looked back. Serving lunch and dinner, as well as a full bar menu, Madison’s covers many bases while sticking to their lowcountry culinary roots.

Southern Scratch Evan says,”We are a ‘from scratch’ restaurant, because everything possible is made from scratch. We are also using locally sourced seafood and family farmed food as much as possible.” Brent says, “being here lets us take advantage of the coastal environment. Our menu can be considered ‘seafood heavy,’ as we offer shrimp, oysters on the half shell, she crab soup, mussels, scallops as well as salmon, grouper, tuna and mahi-mahi.” Evan says, “We have created a seafood restaurant that we would want to eat at.” There is a distinct Southern classic flavor profile at Madison’s, from their take on shrimps and grits (local shrimp, pork belly, mushrooms and tomato in shrimp gravy over smoked cheddar grits) to banana pie (vanilla bean pudding with shaved chocolate and caramel).
Accompaniments such as tomato jam, devilled eggs and pepper jelly let you know you are in the lowcountry and bring the Southern charm to your plate. Conscious of dietary needs and choices? Madison’s has a gluten free kitchen (they use rice and cornmeal in frying) and very few menu items contain any gluten. They also offer vegan and vegetarian choices and have a sweet children’s menu ‘Maddy’s Corner.’ Happy Food Let’s start with the Happy Hour menu. It is served from 5-7 PM and is a preview of the type of food you can expect from the much larger lunch and dinner menus. It will change seasonally, so for now highlights include: Spicy Shrimp Martini – battered whole local shrimp with fiery jalapeno-ginger jelly Watermelon Salad – cucumber, shaved red onion, crumbled blue cheese, herbs, candied pecans and sweet & sour pepper jelly dressing. Pork Belly Sliders –braised Keegan-Filion Farms (Walterboro, SC) pork belly with caramelized fig & onion, tomato jam, kohlrabi slaw, and house pickles. Chicken & Waffles – Springer Mountain Farms ( Blue Ridge Mts, GA) brined fried chicken wrapped in thin Belgian waffles with sour apple, green onion, alfalfa
sprouts, and maple dressing. Speaking of Happy Hour, there is a new custom made bar with good bar stool seating and a bar porch area. On tap are three local flavors from Salt Marsh Brewing, Bluffton, as well as a twenty bottle selection of beer. Full liquor and a good wine list complete the bar offerings. The bar will be open until 10 PM (the kitchen closes at 9 PM) Lunch Lunch has got it going on. It really does do it all. Appetizers, salads, seafood baskets, sandwiches, burgers and sides. And a raw bar. And entrees. Here are just a very few highlights, including a nice touch of tradition: Devilled Eggs- artesian sampling of southern classic, oyster and fennel, pickled shrimp and spicy crab. Moon Doggie –house roasted, shaved prime rib with horseradish sauce, kosher salt, caraway and au jus. House Burger- custom blend of brisket and short rib grilled with pimento cheese, bacon and tomato jam. Seafood Basket – choice of local shrimp, oyster, flounder or scallops. Choice of fried or broiled and served with hand cut fries, coleslaw and hush puppies. Bacon Melt- griddled whole grain bread, crispy bacon, sliced tomato, smoked cheddar and garlic aioli. Dinner If you thought lunch was good, well take a look at dinner. It is a gorgeous selection of updated classics and inventive newcomers. (Kind of like Madison’s in general!) Check these out:
Crab and Artichoke Fondue – blue crab, artichokes, green onion, lemon and cream cheese w/ pita chips. Tuna – pepper and herb crusted and seared rare with tomato jam, fried Brussels sprouts and sautéed mushrooms. Ribeye- 14 oz hand cut certified Angus ribeye, chargrilled and broiled with “beef butter,” asparagus, potato puree and roasted demi glaze. Seafood Tower –oysters and clams on the half shell, steamed mussels and shrimp, seafood salad, pickled shrimp, horseradish, cocktail and lemons. At dinner, you can choose to create your own plate, starting with a choice of salmon, grouper, tuna or mahi- mahi. Then choose a sauce, such as shrimp gravy, lemon beurre blanc or shellfish cream. You have a choice of two sides, which includes classics (hand cuts fries, coleslaw etc), as well as Brussels sprouts (fried crispy with lemon vinaigrette) and mushrooms with
black mission figs among many others. Regarding dessert, there is a very nice choice of Banana Pie, Cheesecake, Ice Cream Sundae, Cream Brule or Beaufort Bread Company‘s Chocolate Mousse cake. Just the right touch to enjoy with a glass of wine or fresh brewed coffee after a lovely meal. Upscale Casual Come as you are from the Sands, the boat ramp, or dressed up for a night on the town. Call for reservations or drop in, all are welcome at Madison’s. It is a pleasure to welcome new ideas and new business to our beautiful corner of the world, especially when they can cook like this! See you there at the Port Royal renaissance.
