Cumberland Island, located off the southeastern coast of Georgia, is a pristine and secluded barrier island known for its untouched natural beauty and diverse wildlife. As one of the largest and most unspoiled of Georgia's Golden Isles, Cumberland Island has limited development and serves as a protected National Seashore and Wilderness Area, making it a unique and sought-after destination for those seeking a remote and tranquil retreat.
One of the main attractions of Cumberland Island is its stunning and unspoiled beaches. The island boasts over 17 miles of pristine shoreline, where visitors can enjoy long walks, shelling, and birdwatching. The absence of commercial development and crowds creates a sense of serenity that is rare in many coastal destinations. Cumberland Island is home to a wide range of wildlife, including wild horses that roam freely throughout the island. These feral horses are descendants of horses brought by Spanish explorers in the 16th century and add to the island's allure and sense of wilderness. Visitors can also spot armadillos, deer, alligators, and a variety of bird species while exploring the island's diverse ecosystems, which include maritime forests, salt marshes, and dunes.
The island's rich history is evident through the ruins of Dungeness, a once-grand mansion built by the Carnegie family in the late 19th century. Today, the mansion's ruins stand as a hauntingly beautiful reminder of the island's past, and visitors can take guided tours to learn about the fascinating history of the area. Due to its protected status, there are no commercial establishments or paved roads on Cumberland Island. Visitors and residents must access the island by ferry or private boat from St. Marys, Georgia. Additionally, there is no vehicular access, so exploring the island typically involves walking, biking, or riding in a horse-drawn carriage.
Real estate on Cumberland Island is limited and highly regulated, contributing to its exclusivity and pristine environment. The island offers a few privately owned homes and vacation rentals, but there are no hotels or resorts. Owning property on Cumberland Island provides a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in the unspoiled beauty and tranquility of this remote and protected natural treasure.
