Belfair Plantation
As you enter through the Avenue of the Oaks, you get the special feeling of Belfair Plantatation. It is elegant and peaceful. It offers privacy, sweeping golf vistas, serene lagoon views and the most beautiful sunsets over the Colleton River and marshes that the Lowcountry has to offer.
Who better can show you the exceptional nuances that this paradise has to offer than one who lives it on a daily basis? Myra Davis has called Belfair home for the last 9 years. Myra and her husband Jerry could have chosen anywhere in Bluffton or Hilton Head Island to reside, but it was Belfair Plantation that captured their hearts.
Belfair was established in 1811 when William Telfair of Savannah married Betsey Bellinger. The Bellinger and Telfair names were united to name their new plantation Belfair. Belfair was originally a country estate and working plantation devoted to agriculture. In the 1920s Belfair's new owner, William Mosely Swain, planted the oaks that now constitute the magnificent Avenue of Oaks. Belfair Plantation, LLC, the developer of Belfair, purchased the property in September, 1994. Belfair, today, is a private golf club community that consists of 730 homesites and a maximum membership of 770. The Plantation offers 33-acres of protected freshwater wetlands; natural preserves include Hidden Lake and a rookery. Hundreds of species of birds including egrets, ibis, eagles, osprey and endangered wood storks as well as a wide variety of wildlife including fox squirrels, white-tailed deer, wild turkey, and red fox.
