Hilton Head's most unusual address, built around one of only three lock-controlled deepwater harbours on the East Coast.
Hilton Head's most unusual address, built around one of only three lock-controlled deepwater harbours on the East Coast.
Wexford's five hundred twenty-five acres center on a thirty-seven-acre inland harbour held at a constant eight-foot depth by a lock system, so members berth boats up to sixty-five feet regardless of the tide, a genuine rarity on the East Coast. An Arnold Palmer Signature course, tennis, and a nautical-themed clubhouse round it out, and a no-rental policy with mandatory membership keeps it owner-occupied and consistent.
Townhomes start near $900K, golf-course homes run $1.5M to $2.5M, and the median sits around $3.1M with strong recent appreciation. The structure is a $70,000 initiation on a home purchase plus mandatory annual assessments near $20,000. There is no beach inside the gate and the Palmer course sits a tier below the Dye and Nicklaus layouts nearby. For a boater who wants tide-proof deepwater access on the island with no rental churn, the lock harbour is the whole argument.
The harbour with a lock on it: eight feet of water at every tide, and the boat behind the house.
Cast off from your own slip: Wexford's lock-controlled harbour, one of three on the East Coast, holds eight feet regardless of tide. Calibogue Sound is the backyard.
The Arnold Palmer Signature redesign, with its Road, Redan, and Biarritz nods for the architecture literate.
Shelter Cove's shops and marina five minutes north, or Coligny Beach with the umbrella brigade.
The clubhouse dining room, or Skull Creek Boathouse for the sunset raw bar the whole island respects.
A dolphin tour out of the south end, brunch at Links in Harbour Town, and back through the lock before cocktail hour, which is the whole argument for the lock.
Inventory inside these gates moves quietly, and the best of it often trades before it is broadly marketed. Ask us what is available in Wexford Plantation this week, including what has not hit the portals.
