Belfair Plantation

Belfair Plantation is located on the mainland in Bluffton, so it’s only a short drive away from the pristine beaches of Hilton Head Island, the history and charm of Beaufort and the city life of Savannah, GA. The original Belfair plantation was established in 1811 as the home of William Telfair of Savannah and his wife, Betsey Bellinger, which is how the name “Belfair” came to be. This area was once a country estate and working plantation and still boasts some of the historic sites and features. As you first enter the gates of this breathtaking plantation, you are instantly set at ease as you drive down the half-mile Avenue of Oaks. This community’s 1,100 acres is filled with majestic river views, dramatic marsh views and secluded wetlands. The waterfront side of Belfair is located on the marshes of Colleton River.
