Chaffin Light
is proud to be widely hailed as the leader in sustainable
development, which calls for planning low-density communities
focused on preserving nature and open spaces. The hallmarks
of sustainable development include permanently dedicating
a substantial portion of land for open space and trails,
then protecting them by conservation easements and/or deed
covenants.
The
brainchild of James J. Chaffin, Jr., and James W. Light in
1978, this concept revolutionized the development industry
while also creating authentic, organic, and original communities
in sought-after natural environments. Chaffin Light pioneered
this concept at Spring Island near Beaufort, South Carolina,
and has continued to create communities with world-class
homes, golf and other amenities that also enable the majority
of the land to continue to sustain itself without interruption.

''It's clear
that government and nonprofits cannot by themselves
conserve and manage all the open space they would like
to preserve. If we can do more private-public partnerships
where homeowners begin to feel they are the stewards
of their environments, then there might be a formula
here to conserve more land.''
James J. Chaffin Jr., a founder
of Chaffin Light. '' |
