Be the first to comment on this post Categories: Communities and Areas

Dear Friends, Clients and Fellow Associates~
 
This week will be spotlighting the Top Ten Reasons to buy property in Long Cove with its 660 acres, great neighbors and its fantastic Pete Dye Golf Course.  We are also spotlighting the Top Ten Reasons to buy property in the Hilton Head’s original beach community Folly Field with all its great sports fields and beautiful beach parks.

Folly Field & Singleton Beach Areas

  1. It has great history!  In 1953 The first vacation cottages were developed on Folly Field Road.   Olin McIntosh of the Hilton Head Company built the island’s first beach cottages at Folly Field to generate more ferry traffic from the mainland in hopes that the South Carolina government would then build a bridge to accommodate all the new residents and visitors.
  2. It has a great location!   Located between Palmetto Dunes and Port Royal in the center of the beach is Folly Field.  This community is accessed throught Folly Field Road or Port Royal Resort and is the Islands Oldest beach community.
  3. It has great sports fields!  Chaplain park is 70 acres and offers islanders and visitors free well-lit tennis courts, Children’s Playground, Basketball Courts, Softball Fields, Soccer Fields, Bathrooms, and Free Parking.
  4. It has great beach parks!  Folly Field Beach Park, off Folly Field Road, provides public beach access where parking is available for residents and guests. Here you will find restrooms, outdoor showers, handicap beach matting, seasonal lifeguards and seasonal beach rentals. It also has the surfers beach which is uncrowded and filled with locals and their dogs(during the posted hours) located at the end of Burkes Beach Road. 
  5. It has the great Islanders Beach Park!  Near Folly Field Beach and the Islander’s Beach Park, which allows permit parking, this neighborhood contains playgrounds, picnic areas, and a boardwalk to the beach. Hilton Head Beach and Tennis Resort is also located here.
  6. It has great fun for families! This family fun center has been here for as long as most islanders can remember. Instead of the world-class golfing greens of the gated plantation communities, Folly Field offers playful miniature golf, along with arcade games inside the Adventure Cove building.
  7. It has a great blend of property. Neighborhoods with streets named after flowers and villa communities make this a great beach community to live, vacation or rent in.  Some of these communities include Sandcastles by the Sea, Singleton Beach, Island Club, Hilton Head Beach and Tennis, Fiddlers Cove, Admirals Row, cozy beach bungalows and brand new homes oceanfront and throughout. 
  8. It has great Villa Resorts.  The Marriot Surf Watch, Island Club and the Hilton Head Beach and Tennis are all located in Folly Field.  These resorts offer a host of amenities with dining and activities for their owners and guests.
  9. It has a great dog park!   Located in Chaplin Park is Hilton Head’s only Dog Park. There are two areas fenced off for sizes of dogs. Both areas have working water fountains for you and your pet.  Park benches are placed all throughout the area.
  10. It has great Tennis! Hilton Head is a tennis players dream come true. There are hundreds of courts all over the island.  Six are at the Chaplin Park with four lighted.  These courts are intended for use by islanders.  

***Extra bonus. It has Harolds!  Located on the corner of Singleton Beach Road is Harolds.  Known for great breakfasts, huge burgers and a cook that may bust your chops if you order wrong.  This is a fun place to grab lunch with a friend.

Long Cove

  1. It has a great master plan.  In 1981 when Long Cove Club was unveiled it lured to the island a bevy of selective golfers seeking world-class golf with a Pete Dye masterpiece as its crowning jewel. Featuring 660 acres that meander through majestic oaks, the golf course and neighborhoods have a lagoon system that is interconnected for drainage and provides beautiful water views from the course and homes. 
  2. It has a great location.  Long Cove Club is in the middle of the Broad Creek and the William Hilton Parkway(HWY 278).  Just outside the community gate are world-class restaurants, fantastic shopping, unbelievable beaches, grocery stores and all things that make this Island a wonderful place to live.    
  3. It has a great pools. The Junior-Olympic-sized pool and pool house are in the center of the club and all it offers. This natural and comfortable outdoor living area is the site for parties and cookouts or just an afternnoons with a good book from the complimentary book exchange.

The staff serves members and guests with great care. The food & beverage operation is open six days/week, with evening dining three nights a week. 
  5. It has great security.  Long Cove has friendly security people that will remember you at the gate and provide 24 hour gated security with only one entrance in and out. 
  6. It has a great marina.  This marina is located on Broad Creek leading to Calibogue Sound and thence to the sea.  It offers 45 kayak slips,and 85 boat slips(brand new docks).  The docks are a perfect place for parent and child fishing and crabbing.
  7. It has great tennis. Ten Har-Tru courts (four lighted), a viewing terrace for the matches and a pro shop round out a premier facility.
  8. It has great golf. Golf historian Charles Price: “. . . nobody could intelligently pick the noblest courses without having played Long Cove.   It’s beautiful just for golf’s sake. It fits the land that’s there.” This course offers more than 7,000 yards and is a par 71.
  9. It has great property.  With 570 properties and over 400 homes built, this community offers a range of sizes and prices for the big family to just a holiday home. 
  10. It has great neighbors.  All property owners are members to the same club and this is the catalyst in getting to meet some of your best friends you haven’t met yet.  Whether it is lunch at the Club, followed by bridge in the afternoon or sunsets in the boat, you will find this communtity offers something for everyone.

Buy Hilton Head Real Estate Now! ?

Dear Friends, Clients and Fellow Associates~

As the world digs itself out of this recession, this might not seem like the best time to jump into real estate. But for those willing to invest for the long term, 2009 will be the year of the property bargains on the Island.

Right now, the buyer is being rewarded for making an offer as the very best locations are being listed for sale.   It takes time, patience, and in some cases, a little bit of creativity to find these properties, but in our opinion there will never be a 2009 timing opportunity like this one.   The properties are almost never identified as a value, but by researching purchase date, motivation, locations and condition we have found and negotiated some incredible deals.  Many of our buyers are using cash, but some are finding owner financing or land contracts to sweeten the deal.

We all know we cannot “time” the bottom of the market.  The key is not to lose “time” in our lives waiting for a sign or signal.  My wife told me once “Don’t take a chance on time” and I am sharing this with you because your time spent enjoying this Island Paradise is more valuable than the dollars you might save waiting for a better one.

The links below will help you start your Island reseach from your computer.  As well, we have additional resources, ideas and programs that will allow you to find the perfect property.  Just let us know and we will put you into our research loop.

Wishing you much success,

 
Robbie Bunting & Jane Hyers

Want acreage? Developer ready or farm?

Be the first to comment on this post Categories: Special Real Estate Opportunities

This is 21 acres of the prettiest land you will ever see!  This land was a horse100_71072 farm in its past with 3 stocked fishing lagoons and a big restored stable.  Recently it has been approved by Beaufort County for 42 home sites that range from 1/2 acre to 1 acre.   The county has run the water/sewer access to the Stillwell Road property line on the New Riverside side of the property.

The location is in the geographic center of Savannah, Hilton Head Island and Beaufort.  It is just down the street from Hero’s on Horseback on Stillwell Road located on Hwy 46 just outside of Bluffton.  If you get to the circle you have gone too far. You will see the signs at the end of Stillwell Road.

Of course, there are many ways the land can be used.  If you are a builder these 42 lots are a great plan for the future(get 10 of your friends together and each take four lots for a total of $150,000 each) or if you want to buy it sell them off individually this is a great plan for the developer or if you just want to build a house and live there this is ready for the nature lover(you could even subdivide it into larger parcels).  The entire parcel complete with all the due diligence and permitting. CLICK HERE FOR ~ 121 Stillwell Plantation Flyer

Take a Sunday drive out and see this incredible land anytime as no-one lives on it…yet! The roads and access are fine. If you wish, call me first for directions, otherwise just stop by anytime.

Happy exploring.

As we 2009 winds down…

Be the first to comment on this post Categories: Off Topic Hilton Head Area

For Sellers:

Home Sellers: Is 2009 the Right Time to Put Your Home on the Market?

 

As 2009 winds down, savvy home buyers are looking to leverage the Obama Administration’s Tax Credit to their optimum advantage. Slated to end on November 30th, the tax credit is sure to create some activity with buyers as 2009 winds down and the November 30th deadline looms. This might be an ideal time for some home owners to put their home on the market and take advantage of this in 2009 versus waiting until 2010. However, NOW may be the the time to move on this for many home owners.

If you would like to find out if now would be a good time to put your home on the market, I am offering a free consultation for a limited time to help home owners weigh the pros and cons in order to make the best decision. To take advantage of this offer, please contact me today to schedule an appointment. Don’t miss out.

Thank You,

Robbbie Bunting

P.S.  As all homes are part of the same food chain this can have a trickle up effect to more expensive properties.
