Overview

This is a rare opportunity to own a 157.83-acre private island, with approximately 15 acres of uplands, set directly along the Intracoastal Waterway. It is located at the southeastern tip of Barbour Island, between Saint Catherines Island and Blackbeard Island. The island encompasses some of the most pristine salt marsh on the East Coast, offering unobstructed views and privacy. The surrounding waters, located within a DNR-protected shellfish zone, support oysters, clams, shrimp, crab, and fish. This estuarine system serves as a feeding ground for endangered birds and coastal wildlife. Historical records and aerial imagery indicate evidence of early-period settlement on the island, including a shell midden mound. Existing improvements include a private deepwater dock constructed from Brazilian hardwood Ipe, two elevated wooden camping platforms, and a picnic area. Trails offer natural exploration opportunities throughout the upland portions. Ownership includes the option to join the Barbour Island HOA, granting access to a private airfield, community boat dock, swimming pool and mainland conveniences. Lower Bar Boar Island offers seclusion without isolation and recreational opportunities. It also has conservation legacy property potential.
