Cumberland Harbour is a gated community located just three miles from historic St. Marys, Georgia, named the "No. 1 Small Town in America" by Money Magazine. The community sits on 1,012 acres, and offers a variety of homesites: and natural settings. These include sites along the expansive marshes, on Point Peter Creek, overlooking the St. Marys River, homesites on ponds and lakes, or tucked within ancient groves of moss-draped, live oak trees.
Located along the southernmost point on Georgia's coast, Cumberland Harbour sits on a private peninsula; a landform created by the North River, Point Peter Creek and St. Marys River, which create an inlet to the Atlantic Ocean.
Adjacent to Cumberland Island National Seashore, Cumberland Harbour is within plain site of the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Florida state line, which is drawn by the St. Marys River.
Just 30 minutes from Jacksonville, Florida or Sea Island, Georgia, this retreat provides convenient day trips to nearby attractions. Proposed recreational amenities. The Club at Cumberland Harbour will offer tennis courts, an aquatics center, fitness facilities and treatment rooms for spa services. The Yacht Club will provide deepwater marina slips for residents, as well as dry storage. The Club Concierge affords residents access to any number of outdoor adventures, including guided fishing tours and lessons, a club boat for excursions to Cumberland Island, as well as sea kayaks and canoes for exploring the waterways. Also, extensive recreational trails for jogging and hiking will weave throughout the community.
The beauty of the marshlands and Intracoastal Waterway. Residents of Cumberland Harbour will enjoy views across the salt marsh to the Intracoastal Waterway that runs between the property and Cumberland Island complete with constant diversity, an abundance of wildlife, and an extraordinary color palette that changes with the seasons. These extraordinary marshlands ensure that the views will never be obstructed by development.
Three community docks. Residents without direct access to the water from their homesites will be able to enjoy three community docks where they can fish or dock their boats. A proposed concierge service can use these docks to valet park boats for residents and their guests.
Cumberland Island National Seashore is the largest and southernmost barrier island in Georgia, offering guests over 17 miles of secluded white, sandy beaches. Wild horses and other island wildlife roam freely throughout the ruins and along the beach. Glimpses of the Carnegie lifestyle can be easily imagined throughout the ruins of Dungeness, abandoned luxury vehicles, Plum Orchard, and Greyfield Inn.
The island is a complex ecological system of interdependent animal and plant communities. A system of foredunes protects the interdune meadow and shrub thickets. A canopy of live oak trees stretches out beyond the back dunes that provide protection from the salt spray.In the central and northern sections of the island, pine trees tower over mixed hardwood forests. On the western side of the island, saltwater marshes pulse with the tidal flow.
The saltwater marshes support large populations of fish, shellfish, plants, and bird life. They also act as nurseries for the variety of vegetation found on the island. Cradled in the branches of the maritime forest, resurrection ferns spring up above the draped Spanish moss to comfort the lives of such birds as painted buntings, summer tanagers, cardinals, pileated woodpeckers, yellow-throated warblers, and Carolina wrens. Deeper in the forests you may catch a glimpse of the island's numerous whitetail deer, raccoons, bull alligators, and armadillos. On the beach, you can watch shorebirds such as sandpipers, sea gulls, and osprey hunt for their latest meal. Loggerhead turtles have chosen the deserted beaches of Cumberland to come ashore and lay their eggs.
Plum Orchard is an 1898 Georgian Revival-style mansion built for Carnegie's son and his wife, and was donated to the National Park Foundation in 1971. Plum Orchard still remains an interesting focal point on the island. In the 1996 edition of Frommer's Best Beach Vacations: Carolinas and Georgia: The 17 miles of undeveloped national seashore of Cumberland Island has been rated A+ for beaches and sand quality.
The beach on Cumberland Island has been selected as One of America's Ten Best Beaches by the Travel Channel for 2005 . Greyfield Inn was built in 1901 and remains in the Carnegie family. In the 1960s, Greyfield was opened as an inn and furnished as it was at the turn of the century. Enjoy a luxurious stay as you walk the grounds, have a gourmet picnic under the oaks, learn from the Greyfield naturalist about the island, and dine by candlelight as the sun is setting. Greyfield Inn was the site of the late JFK Jr. wedding reception.
