Spanish Moss Homes For Sale

What a romantic name for this Sea Pines neighborhood. The plant, Spanish moss is often associated with Southern Gothic imagery. It was introduced in the 19th century and is often called “Pele’s hair” after Pele the Hawaiian goddess. Singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot wrote a ballad entitled “Spanish Moss.” Beautifully maintained golf course homes within walking distance to Harbour Town provide the perfect life. Homes in this neighborhood have large living rooms and dining areas, multiple bedrooms with private baths, lovely fireplaces, huge back yards, perfect landscaping, walnut flooring, wainscoting, and large windows. American Punk Rock band Against Me! has a song titled “Spanish Moss” on their 2010 album White Crosses. “Look into the Spanish moss. Let your mind conjure up old ghosts….” Spanish moss has an interesting history: It is known to have been worn by the women of the Timucua Indian tribe, it is used by some as the filling for traditional voodoo dolls, and is used today in arts and crafts or for bedding for flower gardens, or as an ingredient in the traditional wall covering material bosillage. What an interesting symbol!
