A Detailed View

By limited the density of homes and by limited new recreational and commercial enterprises to the type and scale of traditional uses (namely farming, timber, hunting, equestrian, etc), we are helping to preserve the rural character of this land for years to come.

The residential density restriction varies depending on the proximity to the Edisto River. Basically, the closer to the river, the lower the density permitted. As you move east, away from the river, the density steps up but only to a maximum of 1 home per 4 acres.
