1525 W Black Island Road
Darien, GA 31305

Set on 2 acres of pristine marshfront in Coastal Georgia's Black Island, this custom Carolina Cottage offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of local history. Black Island, known for its rich heritage and natural beauty, was used as a lookout for Fort King George in the 1700s and later served as a hunting preserve for R.J. Reynolds, Jr., who resided at a mansion on nearby Sapelo Island. This 3-bedroom, 3-bath home spans 3,472 square feet under roof and features new appliances, elegant quartz countertops, and a $9,400 painting allowance to make the space your own. Located in a private, gated eco-community on a historic 250+ acre island, the property provides unparalleled access to outdoor activities. The island's deepwater docks and covered boat lift offer direct access to prime tidal creek fishing, with ocean access just minutes away. Black Island's ancient moss-draped oaks and untouched woodlands, preserved in perpetuity, reflect the island's historical commitment to conservation. Wildlife enthusiasts will enjoy spotting deer, eagles, and other native species. Though it feels secluded, the property is just minutes from shopping, dining, and churches in the historic town of Darien. The island fosters a strong community spirit through seasonal oyster roasts, low country boils, and other social events. Additionally, you're only 30 minutes from the beaches of St. Simons and Sea Island, and about an hour from Savannah and Jacksonville, offering a blend of seclusion and accessibility. Need more space for your outdoor gear or expanding your retreat? A neighboring marshfront lot is available. Whether it's fishing, boating, or exploring Black Island's rich history and natural splendor, this property provides a gateway to an exceptional coastal lifestyle.
