DeBordieu Christmas Tree Lighting | |
He arrived by fire truck, listened to everyone's Christmas wishes, and witnessed the lighting of the beautiful tree at DeBordieu's Pavilion Rec Center.
The delicious buffet featured everything from Roast Beast to Shrimp 'n Grits.
The blazing fire provided warmth and perfectly roasted marshmallows for yummy S 'mores, enjoyed by children of all ages.

Featured Property
911 DeBordieu Blvd.
As one emerges from the winding drive, it is easy to see this oceanfront home represents the very best in design, materials, and quality construction. Although certainly a beach house by definition, the owners spared no expense in creating both great style and function so their family could experience the pleasure of being on the oceanfront, as well as surround themselves with the comforts and amenities they desired. The home is presently configured with five bedrooms, the master being on the main level and the guest rooms and sitting room above. There is additional attic space which can easily be converted into a studio or sixth bedroom. The entire home is wood paneled with no sheet rock being used. The kitchen is a cook's dream and looks out onto the main living area. The porch is very wide and spacious with a permanent grill and arrangements for outside dining. The owner's office provides space for work and privacy. The ground level is well finished and affords ample space for vehicles, boats, golf carts and the like. This is truly a remarkable home for the discerning family looking for oceanfront privacy as well as the very best DeBordieu has to offer.

DeBordieu History
|
Local legend claims that when the Marquis de Lafayette reached the shores of DeBordieu, he exclaimed, "This land is so beautiful, it must be the borderland of God!" The French translation is "D'aborde Dieu." The Southern translation became "Debidue." Lafayette's description (whether fact or fiction) of DeBordieu still applies.
As one of the oldest coastal communities on the East Coast, DeBordieu enjoys a rich history. Pre-Civil War, DeBordieu was at the center of the 2nd largest rice-producing region in the world. The area prospered and the wealthy rice plantation owners built a colony of homes at DeBordieu.
The end of the Civil War also brought an end to the plantation owner's colony. At the end of the 19th century, wealthy businessmen from the North bought the land and built winter homes and hunting retreats. Dr. Isaac Emerson, the "Bromo-Seltzer King" purchased many of the plantations, which eventually were inherited by his grandson, George Vanderbilt. They remained in the family until 1970 when Lucille Vanderbilt sold a portion of this magnificent property to Wallace F. Pate who began developing the property into what you see today.
Everything changes. Nothing changes. While the owners of DeBordieu have changed over time, one constant has always defined DeBordieu - the preservation of its beauty.
Today, DeBordieu has only 1,250 homesites on 2,700 acres and hundreds of undeveloped acres that have been established as a wildlife preserve in perpetuity. The beauty is eternal.

The DeBordieu Collection | |
We have collaborated with Catalyst Architect firm to provide a package plan to simplify the building process. Catalyst's Wayne Rogers has designed well over 150 homes in DeBordieu. The process of picking a home site, choosing a plan, and working with one of the selected builders with Wayne's help makes for a great opportunity.
The "DeBordieu Collection by Catalyst" includes a group of unique homes (which will be built in DeBordieu only one time) designed specifically for DeBordieu Colony by Catalyst Architects. The houses in the 'Collection' are designed for coastal living. They feature open spaces, large porches, 4 bedrooms and 4 or 4 � baths, and quality materials and finishes. The houses range in size from 2,666 to 2,902 heated square feet. The projected cost range is between $525,000 and $595,000, including architectural fees, surveying costs (tree and topography survey), ARB submission fees (deposits not included), and a landscaping allowance.
