For $17.8 million, you can pretty much start your very own community by purchasing the threeacre Little Hawkins Island in Sea Island, Georgia. The homes were built by previous owner Del Masters (a Silicon Valley tech entrepreneur), who wanted his own private resort to relax with his friends and family. Overall, from planning to interior decorating, the property took seven years to complete and includes four buildings: The Residence, two guest cottages and The Club (which includes a gym and a club room with a bar). Designed with California missions in mind, the structures represent Spanish Colonial architecture and can easily accommodate groups of 250, meaning if you’ve been looking for the ideal party pad, this is it.

With so much on offer, the list of features is nearly endless, from antique heart pine flooring to 50 custom designed lights (and 110 fixtures in total) from Lantern Masters. There are over 100 custom

furniture pieces, Persian and Turkish handwoven rugs, custom hand-forged ironwork from Mexico and acres of landscaping from The Sea Island Company—which includes “over 150 trees and palms, 350 shrubs, 2,000 Jasmine vines, and [one] acre of St. Augustine grasses,” as well as lights scattered all over the property so you can see everything at night.

Considered the property’s signature attraction is the cartouche, which was “custom carved in Texas by a world renowned carver using Leuders limestone.” It can be found on the parapet at the Residence and features a Cherokee Rose (Georgia’s state flower) and “three spheres representing the alchemic elements (Mercury, Sulfur, and Salt) which were considered to be the three constituents of the Philosopher's Stone, a mythical substance believed to be capable of turning Lead into Gold.”

Of course, since Little Hawkins is surround by marshlands and sits on 700 feet of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, there is also a dock. Able to accommodate a 40-foot vessel with a 20,000-pound lift capacity, the dock features Brazilian Ipe wood decking, custom cypress trusses, and the same Spanish tile roof that can be seen on the buildings.

After all of that, $17.8M is starting to sound pretty low.
