The Residence
Brand-new construction on a quiet cul-de-sac golf homesite in Palmetto Hall, this transitional farmhouse delivers four bedrooms, three and a half baths and roughly 3,200 heated square feet — finished to order, with nothing deferred to the next owner. The .38-acre lot opens to golf course views, and a pool, front porch and covered porch extend the living space outward into the Lowcountry light. Inside, vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light carry through the open-concept main living spaces. The chef's kitchen is anchored by a large center island and premium finishes, flowing into dining and great room areas warmed by an indoor fireplace, with a walk-in pantry and scullery handling the work out of sight. Exceptional bedroom separation gives the floor plan real range, for everyday living and for entertaining. Behind the gates of this Hilton Head Island golf community, two courses, tennis, pickleball and the clubhouse are part of the daily routine. Two-car garage.
The Highlights
Set along the fairways of Palmetto Hall, this new 2027 residence gathers 3,200 square feet beneath soaring ceilings, with porch and patio framing the golf course views that define the setting. The main-level primary suite anchors four bedrooms and four baths in an easy, single-floor rhythm, while the half-to-one-acre homesite grants the privacy and mature Lowcountry canopy this gated enclave is known for.

The Setting
Palmetto Hall Plantation is a private, gated community on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, set among mature live oaks, native pines, and the natural lagoons characteristic of the Lowcountry. The community is anchored by two distinct championship golf courses — one designed by Robert Cupp and one by Arthur Hills — winding through its wooded, residential landscape on the island's northern end.

Questions
Yes — Palmetto Hall is a gated, residential golf community whose covenants prohibit short-term rentals, so the streets stay owner-occupied and long-stay year-round rather than turning over weekly. That is precisely why it reads as a primary or long-season residence first.
No — short-term rental is prohibited by the Palmetto Hall POA covenants, which is the community's defining character. Hilton Head communities in this category enforce minimums in the 90-day to six-month range; your agent can confirm the exact term currently on the books before you write.
POA dues cover the gate and guard, road and common-area maintenance, and community grounds; golf at the two championship courses is a separate membership, not bundled into dues. Because dues and membership tiers are set annually, your agent will provide the current figures in writing.
Yes — 4 Gordonia Tree Court is new construction with a 2027 build year, meaning it is a current-cycle home rather than a resale. Ask your agent for the present completion stage and remaining timeline before you book travel, so you know exactly what you will be walking.
Palmetto Hall is anchored by two architecturally distinct championship courses — one designed by Robert Cupp and one by Arthur Hills — both routed through the community's wooded, lagoon-laced terrain. This home fronts golf course views from a .38-acre homesite.
Palmetto Hall sits on the island's northern end, minutes from Hilton Head's Atlantic beaches, marinas and nature preserves, and near the island's full range of dining and retail. Specific mileage and any side-gate cart access are worth confirming with your agent for this address.
All three are gated north-island golf communities that prohibit short-term rentals, so each stays residential. Palmetto Hall is the most golf-defined of the three at its scale — two championship courses, Cupp and Hills, inside a compact community of winding, tree-lined roads.
The northern corridor is the island's less-trafficked side, and Palmetto Hall's measured pace and wooded landscape reflect that — mature live oaks, longleaf pines and natural lagoons rather than resort throughput. The island's amenities remain convenient from here.
Ask which hole you front, the setback depth, and what mature vegetation sits between the home and play. This .38-acre homesite sits on a quiet cul-de-sac with golf course views, and Palmetto Hall's mature oaks and pines do real screening work on frontage lots.
Yes — the floor plan was designed for it, with approximately 3,200 heated square feet, exceptional bedroom separation, a main-level primary suite, and an open-concept living area built for entertaining. Vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light keep the common spaces from feeling worked.
Yes — at 3,200 heated square feet of brand-new construction on a golf-frontage homesite, it sits within the island's $1M+ segment, where supply has tightened while closings firmed. New-build inventory inside a gated north-island golf community rarely comes available at this scale.
Your annual carry is the usual ownership stack — POA dues, property taxes, insurance and any golf membership you elect — with no rental income offsetting it, which is the trade for a community that stays residential. Your agent can walk you through the current dues and tax figures line by line.
Beyond the Cupp and Hills courses, the community offers a clubhouse, pickleball and bocce courts, a basketball court, a playground and a dog park, all inside the gate. This home adds its own pool, front porch and covered porch on a .38-acre homesite.
Yes — 4 Gordonia Tree Court is a golf-frontage homesite inside Palmetto Hall's gate, on a quiet cul-de-sac with golf course views. Golf-frontage new construction on the island's northern end is a narrow slice of available inventory in any given season.
