The first place that comes to mind when you think Hilton Head Island is Sea Pines Plantation and Resort. This 5,000-acre plantation, developed by visionary Charles Fraser, is the best example of what Hilton Head Island was planned to be – a natural and luxurious residential and resort experience. Fraser didn’t want the development to overshadow what makes the island so special – its pristine beauty. Sea Pines Plantation was designed very deliberately to showcase the five miles of breathtaking beaches on its coast and the natural forest and wildlife within the community. As you enter the gates to Sea Pines, you feel as if you’ve entered a time machine and been transported to a simpler, friendlier time when families ride bikes together and everything you need is within one community. It’s a picturesque plantation that is a must-see for anyone searching to buy property on Hilton Head Island. Sea Pines Plantation borders the Atlantic Ocean on the east and Calibogue Sound on the west, which makes this piece of paradise ideal for vacationers and residents alike. Within this expansive community there are four distinct neighborhoods with close to 4,000 homes and more than 2,000 villas so you are bound to find the perfect spot that matches everything on your dream home wish list. To say Sea Pines Resort is a popular vacation destination would be an understatement. This resort is one of the most desirable and coveted vacation spots in all the Lowcountry because of its natural, almost untouched beauty and its luxurious and lavish amenities. Sea Pines offers a multitude of ways to spend your days from feeling the sand between your toes, soaking up the sun at one of the numerous swimming pools, feeding the animals at Lawton Station or taking in the scenery in the 600-acre forest preserve. There are miles of bike and walking trails that meander through this breathtaking neighborhood so many residents and visitors alike choose to get around on two wheels instead of four.No matter how you get there, you can’t miss the Harbour Town Lighthouse, with its signature candy cane stripes at the marina. If your idea of the perfect includes any day on the water, you’ll be happy to know that South Beach Marina plays hosts to yachts as large as 115 feet. If you prefer to spend your time on the court or course, Sea Pines won’t disappoint. It’s home to three world-class golf courses, including Harbour Town Golf Links, home to The RBC Heritage PGA golf tournament. You can also check out the two racquet clubs and more than 100 tennis courts.
