When you think of Mint Farm, think “cool.” This lovely community in Beaufort, South Carolina, is nestled between the two military bases; actually ten short minutes to Parris Island and the Marine Corps Air Station, in opposite directions. And when it’s time to go shopping, Super Walmart is right around the corner, along with other retail stores, shops and restaurants – fewer than 5 minutes away. Mint Farm is also “cool” because when you hear the street names, you want to slowly and deeply inhale the “cool” sweetness of the Lowcountry air through the rays of year-round sunshine: Applemint, Evergreen, Julep, Mint, Peppermint, Spearmint and Wintergreen. Yet these are not the only features that makes Mint Farm “cool.”
Located in the Lowcountry between its sister city, historic Charleston and the old and picturesque Savannah, Georgia, Mint Farm is a vision of southern grace, history and hospitality. Folks still drink mint julep iced tea on their verandas (southerners’ porches); they still borrow a cup of sugar from their neighbors; and they still walk their dogs and push their babies in strollers leisurely down the streets in the cool of the evening – in any season. They pass by the lush green foliage and look up at the fine and ancient oaks dripping with Lowcountry moss.
Trendy and family-friendly, this community is home to brave, young military men and women and their families; snowbirds who whisper, “love at first sight” of the Lowcountry, but are not ready to make a permanent move – yet; then, there are the professional retirees who yearn to be surrounded by the placid and quiet beauty that Mint Farm offers; even those who have lived in the area all their lives leave their family homes when they discovered this gem in their midst. Now they sparkle in Mint Farm.
For the outdoor person, Mint Farm features three fishing ponds. For the exercise and health-conscious; trails throughout the community for walking and / or jogging. And for the artist and the contemplative, community parks positioned purposefully for families to indulge in the surrounding natural beauty while basking in the Lowcountry breeze.
For children and pooches, there is a park exclusively for both of them. Mint Farm is a family community, and it’s all-inclusive. The tranquil beauty of this community is home to 160 beautiful homes – and growing. What’s unique is that all the homes have their own individual character that’s reminiscent of southern living at its best. So come to Mint Farm where “cool” people of all ages thrive; the perfect place where luxury meets affordability!
