Hilton Head Island Real Estate Community Spotlight: Sea Pines Plantation
By James Wedgeworth on February 13th, 2009Sea Pines Plantation is probably one of the best known residential developments on the east coast. Many people call this the “father of planned unit developments”. Sea Pines is where Charles Fraser started the whole concept that has swept America of planned unit developments.
Even though there are a lot of newer developments, there are none that have a more special ammenity package and location as Sea Pines Plantation.
Sea Pines has 5 miles of private secluded beaches, most of all of which is set aside for single family homes. If a developer was developing Sea Pines PLantation today, this would be 5 miles of luxury hotels or condominiums. You have to think that back during the early 60s when Charles Fraser started Sea Pines there were not a lot of “luxury condiminium projects” around.
One of the main benefits of Sea Pines Plantation is that every 500 feet there is beach access which allows people who are not oceanfront to have access to the beach. Have you ever thought of the value of those 50 foot walkways if you added them all together and totaled them up at today’s oceanfront prices? I think you can see why this is so special; Mr. Fraser had the foresight to plan ahead.
Sea Pines is also special because of the beauty of Harbour Town and its ammenities.
Sea Pines is approximately 6,000 acres with over 3,000 homes and 2,000 villas. Over 90% of homesites are built on.
The architectural style and the lush vegetation of Sea Pines give it that “special feeling”.
Now is a great time to purchase in Sea Pines. At the present time there are 231 homes, 45 lots and 160 villas listed for sale. Click here to view my best buys in Sea Pines homes, lots and villas.
