Frederica
Nestled on the tranquil northern end of St. Simons Island, Frederica is more than just a private community—it is a 3,000-acre sanctuary designed for those who value privacy, grand natural beauty, and a world-class sporting lifestyle.
Originally developed by the Sea Island Company, Frederica represents the pinnacle of coastal Georgia luxury. Here is a breakdown of what makes this community a premier destination:
The Landscape & Estates
Unlike the more densely populated areas of the island, Frederica is defined by its expansive scale and low-density planning. Frederica is woven into a maritime forest of ancient, moss-draped live oaks and serves as a gateway to the marshes of the Frederica River.
- Estate-Sized Lots: Homesites typically range from 1.5 to over 5 acres, offering rare "family compound" potential. Views vary from the manicured fairways of the golf course to the shimmering 400-acre freshwater lake and the pristine salt marshes.
- Architecture: The aesthetic is a sophisticated nod to the Lowcountry and Spanish Colonial styles, featuring authentic materials like tabby, reclaimed heart pine, and cedar shake.
World-Class Amenities
Life at Frederica centers around an active, outdoor-oriented lifestyle supported by high-end facilities:
- Frederica Golf Club: Home to a Tom Fazio-designed championship course spanning over 300 acres. It is renowned for its expansive greens and a state-of-the-art Golf Learning Center used by several PGA Tour professionals.
- Frederica Lake: A 400-acre freshwater marvel stocked with trophy bass. The Adirondack-style Boathouse provides a fleet of electric-powered wooden boats for quiet morning fishing or sunset cruises.
- The Clubhouse: A 36,000-square-foot masterpiece offering fine and casual dining, locker rooms, and a social hub for the community.
Fitness & Leisure: A comprehensive fitness center, Har-Tru tennis courts, pickleball courts, and a resort-style swimming pool overlooking the lake.
Exclusive Lifestyle & Access - Security: As a 24-hour guarded and gated community, Frederica offers a level of seclusion and peace of mind that is unmatched in the Golden Isles.
- The Sea Island Connection: Owners at Frederica often have the opportunity to apply for membership at the Sea Island Club, providing access to additional five-star amenities including the Beach Club, The Cloister, and additional world-renowned golf courses.
- Conservation: The community neighbors Cannon's Point Preserve, ensuring that the surrounding wilderness and historical sites remain protected and unspoiled.
Frederica offers a "best of both worlds" scenario: the rustic, untamed beauty of a private estate combined with the white-glove service of a premier golf club.
