About Oldfield Plantation Homesites
Oldfield represents one of the Lowcountry's most distinctive private communities, tracing its history back to a 1732 land grant to Governor Robert Johnson. Today, this 860-acre riverfront community on the banks of the Okatie River offers discerning buyers the opportunity to build a custom Lowcountry home in a setting that balances natural beauty with world-class amenities.
The community is intentionally limited in scale and private by design. Homesites range from interior wooded parcels under ancient live oaks to premium riverfront lots with panoramic views of the Okatie River and tidal marshes. Golf course lots overlook the Greg Norman Signature course, an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary recognized for environmental stewardship.
Homesite Options at Oldfield
Oldfield offers several distinct homesite categories to match different lifestyles and preferences. Riverfront lots provide direct access to the Okatie River with private dock potential and sweeping marsh views. Golf course homesites overlook the Greg Norman course with morning sunshine and afternoon shade. Interior wooded lots offer privacy beneath mature live oaks and native vegetation, while lagoon and marsh-view sites provide water features and wildlife viewing without deep-water premiums.
Property owners select their own architects and builders while adhering to community aesthetic guidelines that maintain Oldfield's traditional Lowcountry character. The Pre-Designed Home Program offers 25 vetted home plans from nine established Lowcountry builders for those seeking a streamlined path to construction.
