About Hilton Head Island's Long Cove Club Plantation

If you want to live in paradise year-round, you owe it to yourself to learn more about Long Cove Club real estate on Hilton Head Island and the many ways of life it can offer you. Long Cove embraces the romance and charm of the South Carolina Lowcountry with refinement and grace.

This 610-acre exclusive, gated golf community offers complete privacy, security and premium amenities. Located on the southern end of the island, its' beautiful homes are woven into the secluded landscape of sentinel pine and live oak forest, bordering on the wide marshes of Broad Creek.

With just over 400 homes, 80 percent of Long Cove Club real estate have a lagoon or golf view — sometimes both. In addition, there is a Pete Dye masterpiece course, a private racquet club, eight Har-Tru lighted tennis courts, an olympic-sized pool, a private marina located on Broad Creek and more.

As you continue learning about Hilton Head real estate, Long Cove Club is another unique community to learn about. Even though it is not advertised as a resort community, it has all of the amenities a resort community has in a private Island setting.

Long Cove Club is located on the south end of the Island overlooking Broad Creek. Tucked away is the discrete marina that draws all manner of community residents. For the boater it is centrally located between Shelter Cove and Calibogue Sound and all of the activities they offer.

The marina is often one of the communities most enjoyed amenities. Enjoy the thrill of crabbing off the dock or just relaxing and watching the incredible sunsets.

In addition to the water, of course there is golf, tennis and the clubhouse activities. The private golf course, designed by Pete Dye, takes advantage of the beauty of the moss draped oaks and the vistas of the saltwater marsh throughout the course. The tennis courts are touted as being designed in a "secret garden" encircled by beautiful trees and shrubs. The traditional elegant clubhouse offers true southern hospitality.

It is just a short distance from the beach. Before you make your real estate decisions, don't forget to take a look at Long Cove Club real estate. Also check out the Long Cove Club foreclosures and see if you can find one of those unheard of deals.

This secure, private gated community, on the south end of Hilton Head Island, is conveniently located to a wide array of charming ships, cafes, gourmet restaurants, nightlife and family entertainment. Southern pines, live oaks, salt marshes, lagoons, sunsets, friends and neighbors comprise this 630-acre exquisite living environment. It is a hamlet of unspoiled beauty, with no hotels or other commercial trade within the gates. Many of the Hilton Head homes and condos for sale in Long Cove Plantation Hilton Head Island are situated along sweeping greens edged by lush trees or are set at glorious vantage points along the sparkling waters of Broad Creek—as 80% of Long Cove real estate has either lagoon or golf view, or both.

Golf, more golf, tennis, boating, fishing, gardening, socializing and dining seamlessly blend with the magnificent vistas in this much-acclaimed plantation with the lovely homes, stately drives and tropical landscapes.

Clearly, however, Long Cove was built by people who love golf. The 7000-yard, Par 71 course designed by Pete Dye is the allure of Long Cove Hilton Head Island; however, not to be outdone, other activities have earned their own accolades. There is a tennis center with eight Har-Tru lighted courts, an Olympic-sized pool, activities for Long Cove real estate owners and a marina with 69 boat slips.

Several top executives of Sea Pines Company, Wes Wilhelm, Joe Webster, and David Aimes, went out and purchased what is currently Long Cove. The exclusive single family residential community concept, with no villas or condos, was a huge success. The development of Long Cove was a timely and tremendous success story for single family residential development. The Pete Dye golf course immediately got rave reviews among the golfing community and has since been a highly ranked golf course. The home sites have a range of settings from golf and lagoon, wooded, marsh or gorgeous views of Broad Creek. The resident's only golfing community was a new concept for residential developments at the time. In 1987 and the common properties, including all amenities, were deeded to the Long Cove Association. Membership is available only through property ownership, and rights are transferred through the transfer of property. Fees are based on whether the lot is improved or unimproved and includes Long Cove Country Club membership. Long Cove Club was designed around a unique "club" concept rather than the traditional structure of other residential plantations on Hilton Head. Membership in the club is automatic with purchase of a property. All members must pay the same assessment covering use of all of the amenities regardless of property values or residency status.

Long Cove paved the way for Colleton River, Belfaire and Berkley Hall all based on the concept of an exclusive golf club community.
