What to know about this home
- At $1,650,000 ($490/sqft), this home appears within the range of recent comparable Fripp Island sales, though the comp range is wide ($275–$516/sqft) so pricing deserves a closer look with an agent.
- It sits in FEMA Zone AE, a Special Flood Hazard Area, meaning flood insurance is required with a federally backed mortgage — budget for that cost on top of the mortgage payment.
- The listed tax is $4,169/yr under the current owner, but if you use it as a primary residence, the estimated owner-occupant tax is around $8,250/yr — a meaningful difference worth factoring in.
- The home has been on market 80 days with at least one price reduction, which suggests some negotiating room may exist.
- The golf course and creek views plus waterfront position are real draws on Fripp Island, but the 0.12-acre lot is small, so outdoor space is limited.
- Fripp Island is a private gated community about 13 miles from downtown Beaufort — it's a genuine island lifestyle, but the commute to MCAS Beaufort (roughly 17 miles straight-line) and daily errands off-island is something to think through before committing.

This home sits in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, so flood insurance is required with a mortgage (a fact, from the FEMA zone). The $65–$300/mo above is a rough planning range, not a quote — premiums are now priced per-property. Get an exact flood quote.
This is an estimate for planning only — not a loan quote or commitment to lend. Assumes a $1,650,000 price, 20% down, 6.47% rate over 30 years, and SC owner-occupied 4% + school exemption property tax. It excludes PMI/MIP, the VA funding fee, and closing costs. For reference, the current tax on record (MLS) is about $4,169/yr — that reflects the present owner's assessment, which may differ from yours. Confirm every figure with a licensed lender.
