An upscale private golf community

Through the front gates at Berkeley Hall, an infinity pool with meticulously adorned greenery overlooks a lagoon and a perfectly centered water fountain. Past the pool and down Berkeley Hall Boulevard, custom homes overlook championship golf courses, dense woodlands and sleepy lagoons. Where Berkeley Hall Boulevard reaches Good Hope Road, a finely manicured lawn extends to a Jeffersonian mansion, home to all things social in Berkeley Hall. From the gates to the mansion, it’s hard for local Realtor Kevin Lombard to deny this private golf club community’s beauty. “Berkeley Hall is one of the most elegant communities we have in the region,” Lombard says. He's sold homes with Weichert Realtors Coastal Properties for about five years. “It’s absolutely gorgeous, and they’ve done a wonderful job at landscaping. It’s very classic and upscale but also very comfortable.” And the golf courses are a big selling point. “When people tell me they want to live in a golf course community, this one always lands right at the top of the list,” Lombard says.

The Berkley Hall community is a visual masterpiece even from the welcoming at the gate.

Custom mansions and mini-mansions

Berkeley Hall has a limited number of homes and undeveloped lots. It’s one of the lowest-density, private golf communities in the Lowcountry. Most houses sit on a golf course, but there’s a couple of homes tucked along the water. These are typically mansions with long, private docks and price tags between $1.5 million and $5 million. Many of these waterfront homes have over 7,000 square feet. Inland homes are typically $1 to $2 million mini-mansions between 3,000 and 6,000 square feet. Each house is custom to the original owner. “There’s not one home in there that’s not custom,” says broker Maria Skrip of RE/MAX Dream. Skrip has sold homes across the region for nearly 15 years. She resides in Bluffton. “They didn’t have a builder, so everybody went in and hired their own builder. Now, you can name a particular style of home, and you’ll find it there.”

Golf, Pilates and kayaking

Skrip says most people move to Berkeley Hall for its golf courses. The two Tom Fazio-designed courses include views of the Okatie River, marshes and small lagoons. Frequent elevation changes and seaside grasses challenge newcomers and pros who golf throughout the week. The 14,500-square-foot Spa and Fitness Center is a hub of additional recreation. Outside the facility, tennis and pickleball courts host various programs. Inside, folks enjoy Pilates, yoga and barre classes. There’s also an indoor pool and cardiovascular strength equipment. Plus, sauna rooms and spa treatment areas provide spaces to relax. River Park, along the banks of the Okatee River, has a community dock where locals fish or look for dolphins. Fishing gear is complimentary. It’s a popular spot for oyster roasts, sunset cruises or kayaking trips. The park also has 10 miles of nature trails, including access to the Berkeley Hall Greenway.

Dinner at the mansion

The 35,000-square-foot Clubhouse is breathtaking. Or, at least, that’s how Skrip puts it. “Let me tell you, it’s just gorgeous,” Skrip says, “It has this huge green in front of the mansion that’s so nice.” The Clubhouse is the heart of any social activity. It has formal dining rooms, casual bars and complimentary breakfast. The full-season Verandah hosts formal dinners with upscale ingredients, like lobster and tuna. Its Tap Room is more casual, and folks enjoy a glass of wine or a craft ale. There’s a few more restaurants in the heart of Okatie, about 4 miles away. Cantaritos Mexican Kitchen offers favorites like arroz con pollo and enchiladas. The restaurant sits directly behind a Food Lion.
