Summary of this Calabash New Home Community:
The new home community of Ocean Isle Palms is ideally located — just minutes from the pristine Ocean Isle Beach, shopping, and dining, and within relatively close proximity to both Myrtle Beach and Wilmington.

The property sits on an approximate 827.92 acre of land, with 131.55 acres being wetlands, 17.01 acres being pond area, and the remaining 679.36 acres being the higher elevation uplands area.

Initial planning for the Ocean Isle Palms community began in the early 2000’s.  The plans were ambitious back then but the project never fully materialized largely in part due to the financial crisis back in 2008.  In 2014, the property was eventually acquired by Drapac Capital Partners, an Australian real estate development company.  The firm hopes to make Ocean Isle Palms its flagship development in the region.

The master planned community of Ocean Isle Palms was subsequently approved in December of 2017.  

The Ocean Isle Palms permitted uses that were approved included the following:

- Residential Lots/Unit (both attached and detached units) – 2,520 units
- Community/Retail/Office – 162,000 square feet
- Hotel – 200 rooms
- Residential Units over Retail – 80 units
- Apartments/Assisted Living – 480 units

St. Bourke, originally established by Drapac Capital Partners, has provided asset management & development services for the Ocean Isle Palms community.

Plans are for Ocean Isle Palms to have a mixed use portion of the property as well as a with a “village center”, featuring restaurants, coffee shops, a residential element and other amenities,” and the village would have “no national brands” and be accessible to the public.

Among the resort-style amenities in Ocean Isle Palms are an Outdoor Pool, Clubhouse & Fitness Center, Pickleball & Bocce Courts, Event Lawn & Fire Pit, and Walking Trails & Cabanas
