South Down Shores

Birchwood Village

Birchwood Village features multi-level duplexes and a few cottages arranged around a central duck and frog pond and landscaped common area. Most homes have decks and private yards; many enjoy peaceful views of Paugus Bay and distant mountains. Birchwood is set just off the main drive near the community marina, so water is just a short walk away. Residents say the abundant green space, with over 10 acres of lawns and gardens, and the pond make this a friendly, park-like enclave for all ages. With its cedar exteriors and varied home styles, Birchwood blends natural beauty and easy living.

South Down Boat Club Overview The South Down Boat Club is the private marina serving South Down Shores. It is operated for the benefit of authorized users within the community and is overseen in coordination with the South Down Recreation Association. During the boating season, the Dockmaster and marina staff follow an established operating schedule to provide launch and retrieval service for boats stored in the dry-berth system and to support marina operations throughout the mooring field and dock areas. Marina Facilities The Boat Club includes 218 dry berths, with 153 privately owned and 65 owned by SDRA for community use. It also includes 40 boat slips, of which 30 are privately owned and 10 are maintained by the Boat Club for transient use by dry-berth owners and renters. In addition, the facility includes 40 moorings used in marina operations and 20 PWC moorings administered by the South Down Boat Club. Membership and Access Boat Club membership is tied to ownership within South Down Shores. The marina is intended for Boat Club members and other authorized renters or users, all of whom must comply with Boat Club rules, operating procedures, and seasonal requirements. Rentals and Seasonal Use The 65 SDRA-owned dry berths are available for seasonal rental to South Down property owners, subject to availability. Privately owned dry berths and slips may also be rented directly by their owners to other South Down property owners. PWC moorings are managed separately through the Boat Club’s annual assignment process and are not rented or transferred in the same manner as dry berths or slips. Fees and User Obligations Boat Club members pay annual Boat Club dues, and additional user fees apply depending on facility use. Dry-berth owners and renters pay either a frequent-user fee for unlimited seasonal launch and retrieval service or an infrequent-user fee based on individual launches and retrievals. Members assigned a PWC mooring also pay an annual mooring fee. Before using the facility each season, users are generally required to complete all necessary paperwork, provide current registration and insurance information, sign any required waivers or acknowledgments, and keep all dues and fees current. Operations and Management The South Down Boat Club functions as more than a storage facility. It is a professionally managed marina system designed to provide safe, orderly, and efficient boating access for the South Down community. Its structure supports consistent operations, organized seasonal use, and a well-maintained marina environment for both owners and renters.
