Offered as two parcels sold together, this expansive acreage combines scale, water frontage, and existing infrastructure-an increasingly scarce combination in Beaufort County. Currently operating as a private equestrian facility, the property is fully equipped with premium horse amenities. The main 8-stall barn includes a heated and cooled tack room, bathroom, and two wash stalls, complemented by seven fenced paddocks, including two with direct barn access for evening turnout, and two run-in sheds. A secondary three-stall barn, dressage ring, and round pen further enhance the property's turnkey equestrian appeal. Miles of trails for riding and walking wind throughout the acreage, ideal for conditioning, hacking, or simply enjoying the land. From an infrastructure and development standpoint, the property is exceptionally well positioned. It features three private water wells, an existing septic system, and all land is fully perked for septic, offering flexibility for future home sites, subdivision potential, or estate expansion. Architectural plans for a main residence are available, allowing a buyer to move efficiently toward execution of a private waterfront estate or family compound. Whether envisioned as a luxury equestrian estate, waterfront recreational property, private family retreat, or boutique residential development, 71 Tropicana represents a rare land opportunity on St. Helena Island-combining waterfront access, acreage, horse facilities, and development readiness in one of coastal South Carolina's most authentic and sought-after markets. Survey available upon request.
