History

Wexford Plantation was developed in the 1980s as a nautical-themed luxury enclave on Broad Creek, one of Hilton Head Island's primary tidal arteries connecting to Calibogue Sound and the Intracoastal Waterway. The community's engineers built one of only three lock-controlled harbours on the entire East Coast — a feat that maintains a constant 8-foot water depth inside the harbour regardless of outside tidal fluctuation. The harbour accommodates 280 boat slips, 138 behind privately owned homes. The 27-hole private golf course carries the nautical theme throughout, with fairway names and design elements referencing seafaring history. With approximately 450 home sites and a $70,000 initiation fee, Wexford remains one of Hilton Head's most intimate and exclusive private communities.

Architecture & Housing Stock

Wexford Plantation is among Hilton Head Island's most exclusive private communities — a nautical-themed enclave of approximately 450 home sites on Broad Creek. The community is defined by its exceptional private harbour, one of only three lock-controlled marinas on the entire East Coast. The lock system maintains a steady 8-foot water depth regardless of tidal fluctuation, allowing vessels up to 70 feet in length to berth with no tidal stress. Of Wexford's 280 boat slips, 138 are located directly behind private residences, making 'back your boat into your backyard' a literal reality for many owners. The 27-hole private golf course carries a nautical theme throughout its design. With fewer than 500 home sites, Wexford is among the island's most intimate luxury communities. Annual club dues, a $70,000 home initiation fee, and a $23,380 POA assessment reflect the community's ultra-premium positioning.

Active and recently sold homes in Wexford Plantation range from $1,000,000 to $8,000,000, with floor plans spanning 2,000–8,000 square feet. View current listings →
