A private community along the banks of the Okatie River
Oldfield is a private community along the banks of the Okatie River that reminds local broker and Oldfield resident Jani Stephenson of her Midwestern home. “When we first moved to the area in 2014, we lived in Sea Pines. We used to make a lot of trips back and forth to Indiana and would always pass Oldfield,” Stephenson says. “I would notice the white fences and horse pastures that grace the front entrance, and as a gal that grew up in the Midwest, it reminded me of home.” She moved to Oldfield to sell homes with Oldfield Realty, LLC. Through the front gates, brick sidewalks, natural gas lanterns and split-rail fences flow with winding streets that meet outstretched lakes and lagoons. Its setting along the river’s marshy banks is highly protected, earning the community its Audubon Sustainable Community distinction in 2018. The golf course, sports center and Clubhouse complement Oldfield’s environment, and its residents are stewards of preservation. “It’s a mother nature paradise,” Stephenson says. “Everything is perfectly assembled.”
Oldfield is one of the most exclusive and highly sought after communities near Hilton Head.

Fishing excursions and horseback riding
“Oldfield is amenities-rich, from the Outfitters Center to the Equestrian Center,” Stephenson says. Two fully licensed fishing guides operate fishing adventures at the Oldfield Outfitters Center, found along the Okatie River. Also at the Outfitters Center, locals enjoy paddleboarding, kayaking and group quail hunts at Turkey Hill Plantation. “The Outfitters Center has a whole menu of excursions,” Stephenson says. The Oldfield Sports Club features a gym where locals can sign up for personal training or fitness classes. The Sports Club also has an indoor, heated lap pool and an outdoor lagoon pool with a large slide. The community’s six tennis courts keep busy throughout the year.
