Every residential Hilton Head community that ever had a vacant home-site has a ARB which is an acronym for Architectural Review Board.  Just like a Hilton Head POA, the board is made up of members from the community, professionals and adminstrators that make decisions about the architecture based on the covenants of the community.  These review boards protect the residential integrity of their community and help uphold property values from these efforts.

Great news.  The Island is now going to create a waterfront sailing and rowing club.  Down Squire Pope Road this property will replace the location for the rowing club under the Old Oyster Factory.  Which brings back many great memories and we are thankful we had this location.  What a great Island we live on.  Must mention my wife Laurie for resurrecting the rowing club for our High School Students a few years ago.  Of course, she did this with our son in mind and her commitment, passion and dedication carries forward..click on Hilton Head rowing, sailing center plans speed forward – Beaufort News – IslandPacket.com.

Congratulations to Don Peterson with the Alliance Group, the winner of the iPad2! John Robinson, President of the Association drew the winner of the iPad raffle from our MLS tour.  Be sure to email to congratulate Don, because we have not told him yet!  The turnout was unbelievable at 57 Heath Court West with the best golf and lagoon views in Leamington and 120 South Shore Drive on the Oceanfront.  Both of these homes are located in the private residential beach community of Leamington(community benefit list).

Please note the following:

1. 120 South Shore is Listed under Villas because the regime handles all the outside maintenance.  If this were listed in homes it would be the newest 6 bedroom oceanfront on the Island under $3 mill and the least expensive 6 bedroom oceanfront home in a plantation.  Be sure to look under villas to find it.
2. 57 Heath Court West was completely remodeled in 2007 and is better than new!   We had several comments from agents that were surprised how new this home looked and felt.  The remodel was extensive from head to toe making this fabulous location one of the best on Hilton Head Island!

Thank you for again for participating in our iPad MLS tour giveaway.  Happy Selling, Robbie Bunting

Even your agent may not be familiar with this community.  There are no golf courses inside the gates, no tennis courts, no marinas, no shops or restaurants, just a Low Country lifestyle everyone dreams of.  Inside the gates you will discover beautiful homes with picket fences, a relaxed pace with its resident owl, bald eagles and osprey.  What you will discover at The Paddocks is a way of life that is not like the others, but true to itself.

“Do Drop In” at The Paddocks

Join us every Thursday for our “Do Drop In” at the pool pavilion at The Paddocks from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m.  We will provide liquid refreshments including “sweet tea” and moon pies(for the kids in all of us).  Most likely you see some old friends, Realtors, builders, architects and neighbors from around the Island that you haven’t seen in awhile.  Of course, no sales pitch, just some collateral material, some sweet tea and the opportunity to visit and discover one of the best places in our corner of the world.

Living is easy at The Paddocks

The architecture expresses what living in the South is all about.  Metal Roofs, screen doors slamming, exposed rafter tails, big rockers on a covered porch and outdoor socials around a firepit.  The big private home sites overlook marshes, forests, water and sunsets.  Over 60% of this community sold out a few years ago. The prevailing breezes make this a place where you want to sit and drink up the cool air because this property sits on a Penninsula on Hilton Head Island surrounded by water.

The Paddocks Properties

With new homes starting at $549,900 and home sites starting at $69,900, The Paddocks offers great value and selection in today’s Hilton Head Island real estate market.  Of course, because this community and all the properties are 100% debt free, the developer can be very creative for a family that builds right away.  Even investors should inquire about a subordination that may be offered.  Add it all up and come visit at our “Do Drop In” this Thursday to see for yourself.  For more information, please email us.

Don’t miss Hilton Head’s bottom. In case you have not heard sales are increasing and inventories are decreasing in the Hilton Head Market.  This of course will not help the seller that lives in denial awaiting 2007 prices again, but it will have impact on the seller that has been waiting around with a fair value for the location and condition their property offers on Hilton Head Island.
