Nestled on a private island accessed from Johns Island, Hoopstick offers an extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of paradise on a secluded 55-acre private island community. This exclusive development offers a rare chance to purchase available properties steeped in history and natural beauty.

Hoopstick Island holds a unique place in Lowcountry history. This undeveloped island belonged to a Quaker colonist's family for an astonishing 220 years, first formally conveyed by an English royal land grant in July 1717 to Abraham Wright.

A Rich History of Hoopstick Island

The land, part of a larger 96-acre property, was passed down through Wright's female lineage until the family sold it in 1937. After more than 80 years and several owners, Atlanta-based investor and developer, SFG Hoopstick Island LLC (an affiliate of Stonemont Financial Group), acquired the property for $7.5 million in 2022.

They recognized its unique potential and chose to preserve the existing 10-unit development plan, originally conceived by the previous owner who envisioned a private family compound.

• The Vision for Hoopstick Island

Sean McDonell, Senior Vice President with Stonemont Financial Group, noted that this project was their first venture into the Charleston market, drawn by the unparalleled uniqueness of the opportunity.

Their development philosophy prioritizes preserving the island's natural integrity. After three years of meticulous planning with land planners, architects, and builders, the vision for Hoopstick is to allow buyers to design Lowcountry-style homes that blend seamlessly with the pristine surroundings, maintaining as many mature trees as possible.
