Step back in time to the era of indigo and peanut farming in the early 1700s, where the area now known as Calabash was known as Pea Landing and was a bustling hub for agriculture.  Fast forward to the mid-1800s, when Samuel and Dr. Lorenzo Frink transformed Pea Landing into a thriving shipping center.

Despite a quiet Civil War period, Pea Landing rose to prominence with the establishment of the 'Village of Calabash' in 1883. The area's rich history continued to evolve with the construction of a railroad in 1905 to support the booming timber industry. By World War II, Calabash had made a name for itself as "The Seafood Capital of the World", serving up delicious seafood dishes with a special flavor that captured hearts and taste buds alike. Today, this culinary legacy lives on in Calabash, where tradition meets innovation amidst the refreshing sea breeze, exemplifying a unique heritage and community spirit at every turn.

Travel forward to the year 2000 and the property became Farmstead Golf Course, a unique creation by Willard Byrd and David Johnson. Located on the border of North Carolina and South Carolina, this course stood out with a layout that crosses the border four times, culminating in a one-of-a-kind 767-yard, par-6 finishing hole.

Now known as Coastal Club of the Carolinas by Chesapeake Homes, this property holds great significance for both future residents and the land it occupies, transitioning into a new era after captivating golf enthusiasts for years.
