An exclusive gated community with renowned amenities

Colleton River Plantation’s striking Lowcountry backdrop, million-dollar waterfront mansions and renowned golf courses help make it one of the most exclusive communities in the Bluffton and Hilton Head areas. “This neighborhood has one of the highest POA fees in the region, but that’s because it’s just so exquisite,” says broker Maria Skrip, co-owner of RE/MAX Dream. Skrip is a Bluffton resident and has sold homes across the region for nearly 15 years. “The equity membership covers all your amenities. You really get that clubhouse lifestyle.” A one-time, $90,000 initiation fee and an annual $28,385 membership fee afford access to esteemed golf courses, a fully equipped Sports and Wellness Complex and two waterfront clubhouses. The neighborhood also sits on a peninsula that juts into the Colleton River. “I love the beach and I love the ocean, but if you really want to see the beauty of the Lowcountry, how the marsh grasses change colors with the seasons, this is the place to be," Skrip says.

Custom, waterfront mansions

While traditional Lowcountry architecture lays the groundwork for most homes in the neighborhood, each home is different. “Everything here is custom-built,” Skrip says. “There’s nothing cookie-cutter about this neighborhood. You might see one house with classic double porches, which is very traditional to the area, but another may have Spanish influences.” Homes often feature at least 2,500 square feet and four bedrooms, but many have over 6,000 square feet with six bedrooms. A few mansions on the water feature deep-water docks and private boatlifts. A 6,000-square-foot mansion on the water can cost between $3 and $7 million, while 2,500 to 5,000-square-foot homes along the golf course can cost between $1 and $3 million.

This is a beautiful and inviting home for creating cherished memories with family and friends.

Golfing with scenic marsh vistas

At sunset, deep oranges and yellows drape the community's renowned Jack Nicklaus and Pete Dye-designed golf courses. The golf courses, one designed by Nicklaus and the other designed by Dye, offer panoramic views of the Colleton River and flanking marshes. “The golf courses are absolutely gorgeous,” Skrip says. “My husband has played the course that overlooks the marsh and said it was really nice.” The Pete Dye course has hosted tournaments like the US Amateur Qualifier and the US Open Qualifier. Practice Park offers a few facilities for beginners to brush up on their skills. Here, the Nicklaus Practice Facility features four practice greens, and the Bruce Borland six-hole course is perfect for newbies and families. The newly renovated Sports and Wellness Complex features workout equipment, fitness classes and access to personal trainers and licensed massage therapists. The Complex also has a Junior Olympic pool, where locals swim recreationally or join an aquatic fitness class. Eight pickleball courts were added to accommodate the sport’s growing interest. And locals are always on the water. The Dock at Colleton River is home to small gatherings like pop-up happy hours or wine tastings. Kayakers and anglers also use the dock as a jumping-off point to explore the Colleton River and catch anything from trout to tarpon. The Colleton River Club operates all facilities in the neighborhood.

Cocktails at the rooftop lounge

The Colleton River Club features two clubhouses, each with a restaurant. The Sandbar at the Dye Clubhouse features all-day dining and a rooftop lounge with striking views. “This club has an expansive view of the marsh, and it looks all the way down the fairway,” Skrip says. “That view is incredible; it’s one of the best in the whole area.” The Nicklaus Clubhouse features casual pub fare and a private wine room. The Halfway Café offers early morning snacks, and the Palms Café is a popular lunch spot in the Sports and Wellness Complex. “Another great thing about this area is that you can go across the road and up a couple of miles, and you’re in downtown Bluffton,” Skrip says. About 6 miles away, downtown Bluffton features several restaurants plus big box stores like Sam’s Club and Walmart Supercenter.
