Questions
Frequently asked
Can you rent out a home short-term in River Club at Indigo Run on Hilton Head Island?
No — Indigo Run prohibits short-term rental, so this is a primary-residence or second-home purchase rather than a rental-income property. Longer-term leasing is governed by the River Club Subdivision Covenants (CC&Rs), which set the minimum lease term and should be reviewed directly during diligence.
What are the 2026 HOA fees for River Club at Indigo Run, and what does the transfer fee cost at closing?
Annual 2026 dues are $2,818 to Indigo Run plus $1,596 to River Club — $4,414 total, billed by January 1 and due January 31. At closing, expect an Indigo Run transfer fee of roughly $8,829 plus a capital improvement contribution of about $3,192. Tristan confirms exact current figures with the associations. These figures are estimates and can change — confirm the current amounts with Tristan O'Grady before you rely on them.
Does River Club at Indigo Run have deep-water access, and can I build a private dock there?
Yes — River Club homesites border the deep water of Broad Creek with access toward Calibogue Sound, and some owners have their own private docks. Dock construction is permitted under the RCLOA and Indigo Run rules, subject to permit and posted notice.
What is the difference between River Club and the rest of Indigo Run on Hilton Head Island?
River Club is a small waterfront enclave of just 50 homesites with its own gate off Marshland Road, set behind Indigo Run's larger manned entrance. Its homes front Broad Creek and carry a 2,500-square-foot minimum, while the wider Indigo Run community is a larger master-planned neighborhood built around two golf courses.
Which Hilton Head gated communities have deep-water Broad Creek frontage with dock potential?
River Club at Indigo Run is one of the island's genuine deep-water Broad Creek addresses, with dock construction permitted under community rules. Broad Creek also borders portions of Spanish Wells, though water exposure there is per-property and depends on which side of the point a lot sits.
How many homes are in River Club at Indigo Run, and is there a minimum house size?
River Club comprises only 50 homesites, and the covenants set a 2,500-square-foot minimum home size. That combination keeps density low and scale consistent across the enclave — at 6,330 square feet, 47 River Club Drive sits well above the floor.
What amenities do River Club owners get, and is the pool open year-round?
River Club owners have a private pool with bathhouse plus tennis and pickleball courts, reserved for owners and their accompanied guests. The pool is not year-round — it closes October through March, with an extended season at the Board's discretion, and runs 8:00 a.m. to dusk in season.
Is a 5-bedroom, 6,300-square-foot home in River Club at Indigo Run large for that neighborhood?
Yes — at 6,330 square feet with five bedrooms and six baths, it is substantially larger than the 2,500-square-foot minimum that defines the enclave, and among the more significant residences on Broad Creek here. Scale at this level on deep water rarely comes to market in a 50-homesite neighborhood.
Which governing documents control leasing in River Club at Indigo Run — the RCLOA rules or the subdivision covenants?
The subdivision covenants. The RCLOA Rules & Regulations, effective December 8, 2022, do not set the leasing or short-term-rental policy — that lives in the River Club Subdivision CC&Rs. Three layers govern overall: the Indigo Run (IRCOA) rules, the RCLOA rules that modify them where noted, and the CC&Rs.
How far is River Club at Indigo Run from Hilton Head's beaches, marinas and the Cross Island Parkway?
River Club sits on the island's north end off Marshland Road, minutes by car from Hilton Head's beaches, marinas and the Cross Island Parkway. A measured mileage for each destination is available — Tristan can confirm exact drive distances for the specific spots that matter to you.
Does 47 River Club Drive have its own dock and water frontage, or only a water view?
The residence is described as a deep-water estate on Broad Creek with marsh and water views, and the listing includes dock among its features. Because dock status and water frontage vary parcel to parcel in River Club, Tristan confirms the recorded frontage and current dock permit for this specific property.
Is $3,875,000 reasonable for a deep-water home of this size in River Club?
Yes — 6,330 square feet on deep-water Broad Creek inside a 50-homesite gated enclave is a combination that almost never repeats, and Hilton Head's $1M-plus segment firmed through the first half of 2026 with closings up 12% on inventory down 15%. The price reflects the frontage, not just the house.
What is the primary suite layout and outdoor living like at 47 River Club Drive?
The primary suite is on the main level, so the principal living space sits on one floor. Outdoors, there is a private pool, an outdoor fireplace, and marsh and water views over Broad Creek, with a three-car garage and a quarter-to-half-acre homesite.
How do I see a River Club waterfront home in person if I'm buying from out of state?
Tristan represents this property directly and arranges in-person or live video walkthroughs of the home, the dock and the creek frontage, including the gated entry process at both the Indigo Run and River Club gates. He can also pull the governing documents in advance so the rental and leasing terms are clear before you travel.
