Out back, the deck and the porch both face the greens.

Yes — Port Royal Plantation is a residential community first, and primary residences with year-round owners are the dominant ownership pattern here. Second homes exist, but they are the secondary pattern, which is why the streets stay quiet and settled rather than turning over weekly.

No. Port Royal Golf & Racquet Club is semi-private and membership is not required to purchase property here — you buy the home, then decide on the club separately. That is the real contrast with communities like Wexford, where golf is bundled into the POA.

Not inside the gate. Port Royal Plantation POA covenants set minimum lease terms of 90 days to six months, so nightly and weekly rentals are not permitted for this home. The Wimbledon Court villas outside the gate share the name but are a different regime entirely.

POA dues are not one number — they differ by section, and Ocean Point homes carry an additional charge plus an elected refuse charge. A transfer fee does apply at closing, assessed as a percentage of the sale price. Christopher can confirm the exact dues line and rate for this address.

Heritage Golf Group operates Port Royal Golf & Racquet Club — three 18-hole courses, Barony, Planter's Row and Robber's Row — as a separate operator from the POA. The club is semi-private, so play is not limited to residents and membership is not required of owners.

The community holds roughly three miles of shoreline on the Atlantic and Port Royal Sound, exclusive to 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.

Fairway homesites like this one sit in the community's interior, where the courses run through the property — the view here is golf course, not ocean. The Atlantic and Sound shoreline is a community amenity that every owner shares through the beachwalk paths and Beach Club.

A 1986 home taken down to the studs and rebuilt gives you finish quality plus something new construction cannot: an established 0.6-acre homesite inside the gate, under mature canopy, with fairway frontage. At $1,795,000 for 2,791 square feet, it is priced well below island new-build territory.

Look past the finishes to the systems and the envelope: roof age and covering, HVAC equipment and ductwork, electrical panel and wiring, supply and drain plumbing, and window and door glazing for coastal wind and water ratings. Ask for permits and receipts on each — a full remodel usually has them.

Yes — the 0.6-acre homesite has room for a custom pool, which is one of the reasons this lot reads the way it does. The path runs through POA architectural review and then Town of Hilton Head Island permitting; Christopher can walk you through the current review steps and timeline.

This was a remodel from top to bottom, not a paint-and-fixtures pass, delivering a turnkey 4-bedroom, 3-bath home with a main-level primary suite and soaring ceilings. Ask for the scope of work and permit history during due diligence so the systems behind the walls are documented, not assumed.

Budget for Port Royal POA dues at your section's rate, Beaufort County property taxes, coastal and wind insurance, and club dues only if you choose to join. There is also a transfer fee at closing set as a percentage of the sale price. Christopher can pull the exact current figures for 9 Fort Walker Drive.

It reads well against the market: island luxury is balanced at $1M+, sellers are landing near 96% of list, and the trailing-twelve luxury median sits at $1.36M. A gut-renovated 2,791-square-foot home on 0.6 acres of fairway frontage inside the gate is a strong position in that band.
