Kiawah
Island in South Carolina, a residential resort community in the south
east of the United States, is offering a unique residential real estate
investment opportunity for those committed to sustainable and
eco-conscious living.
Indigo Park, a neighbourhood within Kiawah
Island, has built the first two homes both of which have achieved LEED
Platinum status, the highest level of residential green building
commissioned by the U.S. Green Building Council. The project is part of a
larger initiative to create the first LEED certified neighbourhood
within a residential resort.
Indigo Park is a collection of 16
residential homes that allow potential homeowners to not only choose a
plot but also custom build their home using the highest-grade
earth-friendly, sustainable materials that help reduce greenhouse gas
emissions, lessen the impact on the natural environment, and foster low
maintenance upkeep.
For buyers who prefer a completed product, a
number of floor plans exist that the design team can modify and build
to suit. The completed floor plans range in size between 2,200 – 3,000
sq ft with river views, private pools, guest cottages, and varying
number of bedrooms and bathrooms. The starting price for a completed
home is US $1.7 million, which includes a membership to the private
Kiawah Island Club.
At the centre of the project is developer
Candace Dyal, owner of Dyal Compass, LLC, whose mission is to simply
build with a conscience. Taking an unspoiled tract of land, Dyal created
a master plan in which 16 plots would exist with minimal disturbance to
the natural environment and incorporate a three acre community park for
residents to enjoy.
