About Moss Creek Plantation
Moss Creek is the first off-island plantation community past the bridge to 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 combination 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. Lush vegetation throughout the low-density neighborhood was intended to compliment, not take away from, the environment and wildlife on Moss Creek’s acres. 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. They also wanted Moss Creek’s amenities to be property owner-exclusive. The community was to compete among Hilton Head Island plantations in its appeal to nature-lovers wanting a plantation lifestyle.
