The Residence

9 Fort Walker Drive

9 Fort Walker Drive is a fully remodeled, single-level turnkey home inside the gated Port Royal Plantation — move-in ready for year-round living on Hilton Head Island. Reimagined top to bottom, it trades renovation risk and upkeep for immediate enjoyment. Set on a private 0.6-acre homesite with open golf course views, this four-bedroom, three-bath residence spans 2,791 sunlit square feet of effortless single-level living: an open floor plan beneath soaring vaulted ceilings, wide-plank flooring and shiplap detailing, with front and rear porches, a deck, and ample room to add a custom pool. Beyond the door, Port Royal Plantation delivers what makes island ownership rare — a private oceanfront beach club, championship golf, and a 24-hour-secured gated setting — a remodeled fairway-view home in one of Hilton Head's most established communities.

The Highlights

Framed by the groomed fairways and preserved canopy of Port Royal Plantation, this residence gazes out across the golf course from nearly every room, its soaring ceilings giving the 2,791-square-foot interior an airy, light-filled grace. A main-level primary suite offers the ease of single-floor living, while the deck and porch draw the day outdoors toward the green. Set on a homesite approaching a full acre within one of the island's gated oceanfront enclaves, it is a study in quiet, wooded seclusion.

Questions

Frequently asked

Is Port Royal Plantation a good Hilton Head Island community for a year-round primary residence?

Yes — it's one of the island communities where long-term residents settle, with year-round primary ownership the dominant pattern. Behind a 24-hour gated entry on the north end, it offers roughly three miles of oceanfront beach, championship golf, and a quiet, low-density setting.

What does a fully remodeled turnkey home in Port Royal Plantation include, and is single-level living available?

This one was remodeled top to bottom: 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, and 2,791 sq ft with soaring ceilings, a main-level primary suite, a 2-car garage, and deck and porch space overlooking the golf course. Because the primary suite is on the main level, true single-level living is available.

Can you short-term rent a home in Port Royal Plantation on Hilton Head Island?

No — Port Royal Plantation prohibits short-term rentals, enforcing longer minimum-lease terms rather than nightly vacation rentals. It's a primary-residence, long-term community by design, so this home suits owner occupancy or a longer-term lease rather than short-term rental income.

What amenities and security come with living inside the gates of Port Royal Plantation (beach club, golf, tennis)?

The community offers a 24-hour manned gate, roughly three miles of private Atlantic beachfront, and Port Royal Golf Club's championship courses. On-site amenities include a clubhouse, community pool, tennis and basketball courts, and a playground, set among lagoons and preserved maritime forest.

How do move-in-ready homes in Port Royal Plantation compare on value to newer construction on Hilton Head Island?

A fully remodeled home like this lets you own turnkey — renovated top to bottom — at $1,795,000, without the timeline or premium of new construction. It sits on a private 0.6-acre golf homesite in an established, gated oceanfront community — a mature setting newer inland builds rarely offer. These figures are estimates and can change — confirm the current amounts with Christopher Hughes before you rely on them.

How extensive is the renovation at 9 Fort Walker Drive — cosmetic updates or a full remodel?

It's a full, top-to-bottom remodel — completely reimagined rather than lightly refreshed, delivering a truly turnkey home. Built in 1986, it pairs a mature 0.6-acre lot and established location with a fully modernized interior; your agent can detail the exact scope of the renovation.

Is there room to add a private pool at 9 Fort Walker Drive?

Yes — the home sits on a private 0.6-acre golf-course homesite with ample room to design a custom backyard, including space for a pool and outdoor oasis with fairway views. The community's shared pool and amenities are already available to residents in the meantime.

Is $1,795,000 a fair price for a fully remodeled home of this size in Port Royal Plantation?

Yes — at 2,791 sq ft, fully remodeled and turnkey on a private 0.6-acre golf homesite behind the gates, it's priced in line with comparable move-in-ready homes in this established oceanfront community. You're buying finished quality plus land, not a project; your agent can share recent comps.
