South Carolina Department of Transportation has received $635,500 in funding to extend the Edisto Beach Bike Path. The first phase will go to Botany Bay Road. The bike path currently ends at the corner of HWY 174 and Palmetto Road. The funding was secured largely because of the Edisto Island National Scenic Byway (HWY174).
The four-foot wide lanes, located on both sides of the road will accommodate both bike and pedestrian usage allowing byway travelers to travel safely from the beach to the Botany Bay Plantation Wildlife Management Area. This will give residents and visitors access to over 5500 acres and over 5 miles of protected beach between Botany Bay Plantation Wildlife Mangment Area and Edisto Beach State Park to bicycle or hike. Both are free of charge to pedistrians and bicyclers. Points of Interest include the 4,000 year old Shell Midden, Botany's Ice House, SeaCloud Ruins, Bleak Hall Garden, and Jason's Lake.
South Carolina Department of Natural Resources released 400,000 Redbreast Sunfish in the Edisto River today. Redbreast are similiar size and shape to common freshwater Bream Sunfish. However they thrive in rivers not lakes and are easily identified by the bright red color. They are easily caught on almost any live bait or artificial bait such as beetle spins. I grew up using crickets so that will always be my first choice. Even though they are relatively small they put up a good fight on light tackle or cane poles. You will want to use a cork to keep the bait off the bottom and moving.
The Redbreast will will be released at T.W. Messervy Boat Landing in Dorchester County. This section of river is just
south of Givhans State Park between Hwy 61 and Hwy 17A. It is a very undeveloped area of the Edisto River just upriver from the MeadWestvaco's 78,000 acre East Edisto tracts. They are beginning their 50 year development plan for this area. It will be one of the largest planned developments on the East Coast in decades. It is located near the ACE Basin Natural Wildlife Refuge which emcompasses over 350,000 acres along the Edisto, Ashepoo, and Combahee River Systems.
SCDNR hopes this release will the first of many to help reach the goal of 1.4 million Redbreast in the Edisto River. Funds came from the sale of SC fishing licenses and Sport Fish Restoration money collected through excise tax on fishing and boating equipment. Like most government agencies SCDNR has endured huge budget cuts but has some how managed to make ends meet without closing public WMAs (Wildlife Management Areas). Their budget was cut from $32 million to $14 million. Support SC's Natural Resources by letting your local politicans know that wildlife funding is important to the citizens and visitors of South Carolina.

If it seems that I know a lot about this house even though it is not my listing it is because my childhood home is two doors away. 2701 Palmetto has been in my family since 1984.
This is below market value even by today's standard. Similiar Edisto homes that have sold are much smaller and in less desirable locations.

"South Carolina's Last Small Town Beach"
Edisto is a place hidden from the millions of people, condos and golf courses that have ruined our northern SC coast. Edisto is a place for families and oyster roasts, not malls and traffic. You will not find a traffic light for 25 miles. You can live at your pace. Sooner or later, with Edisto Island Real Estate you will get slowed down to ours. Time seems to stop here. Trade in your calendar for a tide chart and your blackberry for a GPS. All you need to remember is keep the boat full of gas. We "beach it" in the summer, shrimp in the fall, hunt when it's cold, and fish all year long. No one will ever have to remind you to RELAX.
Edisto Island has a property for every buyer. Edisto Island is a large island with plenty of properties that are affordable for first time Edisto real estate buyers. You can still find Edisto Island Lots under $30,000! 
When you purchase real estate in Edisto, there is so much to explore. Botany Bay Plantation's 4000 acres and 2 miles of beach is now open to the public. We have 2 State Parks and 2 County Parks. The ACE Basin now emcompasses nearly 400,000 acres and their state of the art interpretive center is located in Edisto's Live Oak Park. Mother Nature did her best work here! The Sensational Sunsets, Shimmering Waters of the ACE Basin, and Quaint Live Oak Lined roads are the main reasons Edisto has become a destination for the Eco-Escapist (my new word). We are dedicated to conservation of our resources and preservation of our barrier island lifestyle. We strive to never have to reminise about the way things were.
"Chris represented me in the purchase of a second home on Edisto Beach. In over 20 Years buying and selling real estate, Chris Walters is the BEST agent I have worked with. His local knowledge and negotiating skills are second to none and his integrity is beyond question. He can tell you the history of pretty much any house in the area and helps you with any problems after the sale. He even called recently after a severe weather event just to let me know that my house was undamaged. I have and will continue to recommend Chris to my friends." Lonnie Warren
"I have known Chris for more than 15 years. He is honest, trustworthy and truly has a passion for real estate. He helped my brother find a house in the summer of 2008. He is very generous with his time and patient with his clients. His goal is to find the right property to fit his clients needs. Not only would I recommend that someone work with him, I would encourage it. He knows Edisto Island. He also knows the ownership history of most of the homes on the island and knows many of the previous owners. I honestly don't know how he does it. You will be impressed by his knowledge of Edisto and the real estate market that goes along with it." April 1, 2009

"Chris has helped my family and I on various real estate purchases, serving as both a professional counselor and a trusted family friend. His strongest asset is his integrity and his willingness to earn people's trust through genuine hard work. A personal friend, I can vouch for Chris on many different levels, but to me, to be successful in real estate, it all comes down to the way in which you can work well with people, and Chris excels across the board."
