COME HOME TO Beach Forest

. . . a South Carolina Low-Country Village

Envision a time when neighbors knew each other and visited often; merchants greeted you by name as you entered their establishment; and a stroll along tree-lined sidewalks was the highlight of a summer evening. Small-town life is treasured in the memories of most South Carolina natives. At Beach Forest Village, we've managed to preserve small-town, low-country charm, while offering the convenience and opportunities of an urban area. In our Village, you will find security in your surroundings and a lifestyle of peace and tranquility.

Beach Forest Village is a lifestyle concept designed to encourage traditional family values and activities. Special consideration for the needs and desires of the aging baby-boomer population is also a major part of our vision.

Through careful long-range planning, coordination and development, our vision combines the low-country estate lifestyle with modern-day convenience. At Beach Forest Village, you can enjoy the best of both worlds!

Location . . .

Beach Forest Village is conveniently located off South Carolina Route 521, just east of Columbia, only 10 minutes from downtown Sumter, and five minutes away from the Highway 378 Thruway. Highlights . . .

Beach Forest Village is a pedestrian-friendly community designed around "smart-growth" standards intended to ensure that everyday services and goods will be readily available inside the Village. Since the entire Village is designed for pedestrian activities, vehicular speeds and access will be effectively restricted, with golf carts and bicycles the preferred modes of transportation.

Surrounded entirely by meticulously landscaped berms, the protected community will contain low-country native and compatible species of plants. Attractive, centrally located greenways and a forest on the northeast side of the Village will include trails for bird watching and other passive wildlife activities.

Public utilities include water, storm and sanitary sewers, gas, electricity, cable TV and telephone services. The Beach Forest Village Homeowners Association will provide maintenance for the cul-de-sacs, and the entryway gates, lawn and gardens, Community Pool and Clubhouse.

Our long-range planning also includes using areas in close proximity to the Village for businesses such as a grocery store, theatre, and possibly a small hotel and progressive care facility.

The Village Centre . . .

The heart of our planned community, the Village Centre will include valued the amenities of small-town life with focal points such as: restaurants, retail merchants, churches, as well as medical and other professional services. The Village Centre will consist of traditional architectural standards used to encourage lasting quality. Walkways and buildings with restful green spaces placed in proximity to one another will encourage strolling, rather than driving, while shopping from building to building.

Nestled beside a placid lake will be a low-country styled clubhouse and community swimming pool with over 3,000 square feet of heated area for parties, wedding receptions and community gatherings. Available to residents for special events and Village gatherings, this clubhouse and pool will be surrounded by a 10' porch and beautiful views of the lake.

Neighborhoods and Home sites . . .

Several distinct neighborhoods will exist within the residential areas of the Village. The architectural requirements for each neighborhood will ensure a classical design with interesting and pleasing architectural details. All homes will be required to have attractive and sustainable landscaping plans. These required elements ensure that upon completion, homes will reflect the timeless beauty of a low-country village.

In the residential areas, incredibly classic and traditional brick homes with stucco and limited vinyl as approved by the architectual review committee ensure timeless quality. Housing styles will range from traditional front entry homes to patio and courtyard homes, with one neighborhood reserved exclusively for upscale townhouses.

Over one-hundred magnificent waterfront lots are available, and all Village residents will have access to a scenic lake, small ponds, winding trails, and other inviting recreational areas. The myriad of recreational opportunities we have planned, will include community pool and clubhouse, trails and neighborhood sidewalks, tennis courts, ball fields, and, of course, the lake for paddling and relaxation.

Our Vision Realized . . .

It is evident that our vision has extended beyond individual projects to strategic planning, coordination and long-range development.

Sumter's first strategically planned new home community combines the low-country estate lifestyle with modern-day convenience. Residents will delight in magnificent views of woods and green space from their homes, yet they're close to the Beach Forest Village Centre – and just minutes from Sumter and Shaw Air Force Base. You will enjoy a beautifully maintained lake, community pool and clubhouse, cul-de-sacs, walking paths and streams. Your children can benefit from Sumter's quality array of public and private educational systems.

Our comprehensive planning also includes using areas in close proximity to the Village for the establishment of possible businesses such as a grocery and hardware store, theatre, and a small hotel and progressive care facility.

So, whether you are shopping for groceries, clothing, garden supplies, or entertainment, you're sure to find what you need just around the corner.

We encourage you to come and spend some time with us at our new "traditional" planned community. You will see first-hand the lifestyle planned for you and your family and explore your opportunities at Beach Forest Village.
