A former Fort Moultrie officers' club built in 1933 and later a beach club is listed at $18.5M on Sullivan's Island. Approved plans call for an 11,500 sq ft restoration.
A former officers' club at Fort Moultrie that later operated as a beach club has hit the market at $18.5 million on Sullivan's Island, South Carolina. The Cassina Group listed the property, known as Jasper Hall, at 1735 Atlantic Avenue. Robertson Allen, the firm's founding partner and broker-in-charge, holds the exclusive listing.
The property sits on roughly two oceanfront acres, one of the largest privately held beachfront parcels on the Eastern Seaboard, according to the listing firm. It was completed in 1933 as the social heart of the coastal defense fortification. A grand ballroom with a raised stage and stone fireplace hosted bands and orchestras. Colonel George C. Marshall, then the fort's commandant and later U.S. Army Chief of Staff, Secretary of State, and Nobel Peace Prize winner, was among the earliest visitors.
After the fort closed in 1947, the building became the Sand Dunes Beach Club. Additions in 1939 and 1960 expanded the structure while preserving the original 1933 core. Today Jasper Hall is a Sullivan's Island Landmark and has been deemed eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Sullivan's Island Design Review Board has approved a restoration and redevelopment plan by Cissell Design Studio, with landscape architecture by Furman Land Design. The approved plans call for an 11,500-square-foot private residence that restores the Palladian entrance porticoes, brick water table, diamond attic vents, and both original fireplaces. The reimagined home includes a central living hall, library, conservatory, wine cellar, gaming and screening room, a fitness center with sauna, and a second-level primary suite opening to a widow's walk with the historic Union Jack railing. The pool pavilion will be restored, and a new garage with golf cart parking will be built.
Jasper Hall will be on the market for a limited 60-day period. At the end of that window, the current owner plans to proceed with the approved restoration and redevelopment, the firm said.
"To find nearly two acres directly on the Atlantic Ocean is exceptionally rare, but to pair that with a property of this historical importance makes this offering even more significant," Allen said in a statement.
Allen has closed more than $1.2 billion in career sales and is ranked the No. 1 agent in Charleston County by the local MLS in 2026, according to the firm. His past transactions include 51 East Bay Street at over $21 million and 5 E Battery at $18.25 million.
