About 279 Midden Ln.
279 Midden Drive offers nearly two acres of extraordinary privacy in Prince George Oceanside, widely regarded as one of the East Coast’s most exclusive, private and beautifully preserved low-density ocean front communities. Positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, Lot 21 is arguably one of the most distinctive homesites in Prince George — a remarkable setting where the Atlantic Ocean, tidal marsh, historic wetlands, and a private estate homesite all come together. The property overlooks more than 20 acres of historic tidal marsh including Middleton Pond, a century-old duck impoundment that creates an expansive and exceptionally peaceful natural backdrop. Surrounded by water, marsh, preserved lands, and mature vegetation, the homesite has an almost island-like quality — a private enclave tucked between the ocean and the tidal Lowcountry landscape. Several magnificent live oaks, hundreds of years old, grace the property and provide an irreplaceable sense of place. Their scale and character offer the opportunity to create a dramatic, naturally landscaped entrance to a future Lowcountry estate — something that simply cannot be recreated with new construction or landscaping. Beyond Middleton Pond, the property overlooks protected wetlands held within a conservation easement, preserving the natural landscape and protecting the setting from future development. With Prince George Preservation land, the Atlantic Ocean, wetlands, and undeveloped plantation acreage surrounding the area, the sense of privacy is exceptional. Prince George itself is limited to only approximately 148 homesites community-wide, ranging from roughly three-quarters of an acre to more than 15 acres. The result is a degree of space, preservation, and tranquility increasingly difficult to find along the Carolina coast. A direct golf-cart path from the area provides effortless access to the beach and Prince George’s exceptional oceanside amenities, including private beach access, the Ocean Clubhouse and swimming pool, tennis, volleyball and basketball courts, bike paths and multiple lakes and ponds. Across Highway 17, owners also enjoy the Prince George Riverside amenities, including the River Clubhouse, a boardwalk along the Intracoastal Waterway, and a private 28-slip marina — offering the unusual ability to enjoy both the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway within the same private community. Architecture throughout Prince George follows a traditional and historic Lowcountry design language, creating an atmosphere of understated elegance and timeless coastal character. Despite its extraordinary seclusion, 279 Midden Drive is conveniently located just minutes from both Pawleys Island and historic Georgetown, South Carolina, providing easy access to shopping, dining, boating, golf, and everyday conveniences. This is more than a building lot. It is an opportunity to create a lasting family estate in one of the most remarkable natural settings in Prince George — overlooking historic Middleton Pond, beneath centuries-old live oaks, with the ocean on one side and the tidal Lowcountry landscape on the other. Properties with this combination of acreage, privacy, history, preservation, and proximity to the ocean rarely become available in Prince George Oceanside. Photos and words simply cannot capture the setting. A private tour is the best way to understand what makes this property — and Prince George — so special.
