 Dolphin Island
Preservation
Savannah, Georgia

The Jerico River and two beautiful lagoons provide water frontage
for all 62 homes in this exclusive Lowcountry community.

Description

Dolphin Island Preservation is an environmentally sensitive community offering 62 waterfront homesites within a quiet Lowcountry enclave. This private gated community offers deepwater at all tides with open access to the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean.

Sailing is one of many year-round water-oriented activities.

Although tucked away in an historic area, it is just 35 minutes south of Savannah and the Savannah-Hilton Head International Airport. Thirty-five of the 62 lots (minimum size: one acre) are sited on deep water and the remaining 27 are adjacent to two lagoons in the center of the island.

The Shell House's open-air porches and hearth are ideal for entertaining and events.

Dolphin Island's natural beauty and historic authenticity will be carefully preserved through architectural guidelines and careful land stewardship. To maintain the natural integrity of the island, its developers have designed each lot to accommodate structures that blend with the environment. Amenities include a common dock, fishing pier and Shell House.  

Easing into the community dock.

The Shell House is a 1,500-square-foot gathering place where island residents can unwind and entertain. It has a covered entertainment area with a large hearth on the first floor that is ideal for oyster roasts or barbecues. The second floor offers a commanding view of the Jerico River and provides a weather-proof sitting area flanked by open-air porches.

Year-round outdoor activities include boating, bird watching and fishing for black bass, grouper, spotted sea trout and sheepshead. Two lagoons centrally located on the island provide fishing and canoeing opportunities for Dolphin Island residents as well as a sanctuary for local wildlife.

The partners in Dolphin Island Preservation have donated a conservation easement to the Chattowah Open Land Trust, Inc. The provisions of this 42-acre easement prevent development of the parcel in perpetuity.
