In the 1990’s a local developer had a vision. The developer, Southern Lifestyles, purchased the land that was to become Anchorage Plantation from John B. and Theodora W. Walpole in June of 2000. The Walpole’s, a prominent Wadmalaw Island family had cultivated tomatoes on the land since the 1980’s. Southern Lifestyles quickly began selling lots on Anchor Watch Drive in the summer of 2000. Interior lots originally sold from low 100k and up and waterfront lots sold for substantially more.
