It opens up to the wide Atlantic Ocean with an infinity pool and two beautiful covered porches, both with fire places. An outdoor kitchen offers year round relaxed living right on the beach.

And for the past four years the community’s Environmental Committee has been working to make sure its natural beauty endures.  “We want to be recognized for being a sustainable and green community,” said Yvonne Clemons, chairwoman of the seven-person group that has brought recycling and water conservation initiatives to the residential development where electric golf carts are the only mode of private transportation.  “The things we are doing are good for the residents and good for the community,” she said.  The committee also has positioned Haig Point to be a leader in building environmentally sound homes, complete with water conservation methods and native plants that will reduce the amount of water needed f...

HAIG POINT RESIDENTS WORKING TO SAVE AND ENJOY ISLAND’S RICH HISTORY 29 Jan 2014 Written by Editor of Hilton Head Monthly Jo Hill and her husband Jack relocated to the private community of Haig Point on Daufuskie Island from Atlanta because of the quiet lifestyle and the beauty of the natural surroundings. But once they settled in as full-time residents in 2005, it was what they didn’t know that got them hooked. Together, they explored outside of the community gates and learned more about their surroundings. “We rode our bicycles all over the small island and we got to meet people outside our gates,” Hill said. “We began to understand that this was a historical district. I had an interest in history, but never got that involved in anything like this.” But, times have changed for Jo Hill. She now is president of the Daufuskie Island Historical Foundation, and more than twothirds of the residents of Haig Poi...
