Moss Creek Plantation Real Estate
About Moss Creek Plantation
Moss Creek is the first off-island plantation community past the bridge from Hilton Head. Featuring over 1,000 acres of private, gated residential neighborhood, Moss Creek borders Mackay’s Creek on one side, a huge nature preserve on the other, and allows for a variety of home views including water, woods, marshes, and the marina.
Moss Creek has two 18-hole Tom Fazio golf courses, a playground by the docks and the dockside swimming pool, tennis, the Fording Island Nature Preserve, and an equity membership included with purchase of property. Enjoy a day on horseback at the Equestrian Center, or take a stroll through this quietly spacious plantation and smell the fresh air. Moss Creek has the look of Sea Pines but the feel of Spanish Wells, making it the perfect balance of plantation living.
Security Features
Moss Creek has a 24-hour guard gate, and non-residents must have a pass from residents to gain access.
Moss Creek Plantation: History
In 1974, Moss Creek’s developers wanted a community that would provide residents with a blend of gated privacy and Lowcountry beauty. The community was to compete among Hilton Head Island plantations in its appeal to nature-lovers wanting a plantation lifestyle. Developers planned for the residences (subject to strict architectural guidelines in order to maintain the community's appearance) to take up less than half of the community’s total area to allow sufficient space for nature. Lush vegetation throughout the low-density neighborhood was preserved to compliment, not take away from, Moss Creek’s appeal.
Moss Creek’s two championship-caliber 18-hole golf courses were originally open for public play, and once hosted a prestigious LPGA tournament every year. Property owners eventually chose to close public access to their community, and the courses are now property owner exclusive.
