Wachesaw Plantation Homes for Sale & Neighborhood Guide

Wachesaw Plantation is one of those Murrells Inlet communities that feels distinctly Lowcountry. Live oaks draped in Spanish moss, established landscaping, custom homes and the natural beauty of the Waccamaw River give this gated neighborhood a character all its own. I'm Merrill Bryan, a Murrells Inlet native and local Realtor, and this guide is here to help you explore the homes, history and practical details of buying in Wachesaw Plantation.

What Makes Wachesaw Plantation Special?

Rather than a uniform collection of newer homes, Wachesaw Plantation has a varied streetscape of custom residences, mature trees and golf-course, pond and wooded settings. The neighborhood offers an established feel while keeping you connected to the restaurants, shopping and coastal attractions of Murrells Inlet and the South Strand.

A Rich Lowcountry History

The land around Wachesaw has a much longer story than the residential community. Archaeological research has documented Native American history in the area, and the property later became plantation land associated with indigo and rice cultivation. Its position on a bluff beside the Waccamaw River made river transportation important to the site's history. Today, the private Wachesaw Plantation Club shares historical information and preserves artifacts from archaeological work.

The club was founded in 1985, and its Tom Fazio-designed golf course opened in 1986. Learn more from the Wachesaw Plantation Club's official history.

Homes in Wachesaw Plantation

Homes vary in architecture, size and setting. Buyers may find traditional Lowcountry-inspired houses, brick homes, custom residences, golf-course views and properties with mature landscaping. Because homes were built at different times, it's worth comparing renovation history, lot characteristics, insurance considerations and the details of each property rather than assuming every home offers the same features.

Wachesaw Plantation Club: Golf, Tennis & Dining

Located within the community, Wachesaw Plantation Club is a private, member-owned country club with an 18-hole Tom Fazio-designed golf course, eight outdoor clay tennis courts, a swimming complex, dining and social activities. Kimbels restaurant overlooks the river and golf course.

Important for buyers: Living in Wachesaw Plantation does not automatically mean that club membership is included with a home purchase. The club offers different membership categories to residents and nonresidents, with separate terms and fees. Check current options directly with the club membership office.

What Buyers Should Know Before Purchasing

Property owners association: Review current dues, covenants, architectural guidelines and any assessments directly with the association.
Club membership: Verify membership eligibility, initiation costs, ongoing dues and privileges separately with the club.
Property-specific due diligence: Evaluate the age and condition of major systems, flood-zone information and insurance quotes.
Lot and views: Consider whether a home faces the golf course, a pond, wooded land or neighboring properties, and check any applicable easements.
