Discover the perfect blend of Lowcountry charm

It is predominantly year-round residential. Long-term residents are the dominant ownership pattern inside the gate, with second homes present but secondary — which is why the community reads as a quiet residential enclave rather than a resort.

Not inside the gate. Port Royal Plantation's POA covenants set minimum lease terms of 90 days to six months, so nightly and weekly rentals are not permitted. The separately governed Wimbledon Court villas outside the gate do allow short-term rental — 4 Robbers Row is inside the gate.

No. Port Royal Golf & Racquet Club is semi-private and operated by Heritage Golf Group, separate from the POA, so club membership is not required to purchase here. You can own on a fairway homesite like this one and join, or not, as you choose.

POA dues fund the 24-hour staffed gatehouse and patrols, the resident beach and Beach Club amenities, and common-area upkeep. A transfer fee does apply at closing, assessed as a percentage of sale price. Dues differ by section, so ask for the current POA-published figures for this address.

Roughly three miles of shoreline along the Atlantic and Port Royal Sound, reserved for residents and their guests, reached by 19 beachwalk paths. The Beach Club, completed in 2019, adds an Olympic-sized pool, a kiddie pool and a catering kitchen overlooking the Sound.

A Carolina Room is a glassed-in room between the living space and the outdoors — a porch you can use in every season. On Hilton Head it earns its keep in humid summers and cool winter mornings. 4 Robbers Row offers a porch overlooking the fairway and oak canopy; the agent can confirm this home's exact configuration.

The 1968 homes sit on the community's original homesites — larger, deeply wooded parcels like this .58-acre lot that new construction on the island rarely offers. This one is beautifully maintained and one level, and the land itself is the durable asset.

It means the $1,099,000 price reflects what the .58-acre golf course homesite is worth on its own — so the 2,047 sq ft residence on it is effectively upside. You can move in and live with it, renovate over time, or build; the land carries the value either way.

Port Royal Plantation's roughly 970 homesites run from a quarter acre to over an acre, so .58 acres sits comfortably in the upper half. Combined with mature specimen oaks and a fairway frontage, it delivers noticeably more separation than a typical island lot.

Pools are common on Port Royal Plantation homesites, and .58 acres with this much open ground gives real room to site one. Any addition goes through the POA's architectural review, and the agent can walk you through that process for this specific lot.

The home has been beautifully maintained, and the seller can provide the record of what has been updated and when. A full inspection during your due-diligence period will document roof, HVAC, electrical, windows and envelope precisely — the agent can help you schedule specialists for each.

Homes here range from early-island bungalows to new oceanfront estates, so both a renovation and a new build fit the community's character. Plans go through POA architectural review, and the .58-acre footprint gives generous latitude. The agent can share the current guidelines before you make an offer.

It is priced at the value of the land alone, against an island detached median near $1.055M for homes on far smaller lots. In a balanced $1M+ market where sellers are landing around 96% of ask, that is a genuinely grounded number for .58 acres inside a gated oceanfront community.
