Owning a place in Sea Pines has been a life goal for me. Our Memorial Day tradition at our friends place toward South Beach made buying a place in Sea Pines the only option. We honestly didn't even look at any other plantations.
What's better than that, is that, we didn't even step foot inside of this place prior to putting in an offer.
Yep- It was purchased completely site unseen.
To be fair, I actually knew the Greenwood Forest area of Sea Pines extremely well. I dated a girl that college summer who rented a house with her friends on Wildwood Ct, one street over. Spending time over there and at the neighborhood pool gave me a good idea of what I was getting into.
The truth is I would have fallen in love with the home had I seen it and paid too much. This took the emotion out of it.
It was completely worth it. I stepped foot into the house the day I closed on October 12th. It exceeded my expectations.
It was a very Zen couple of days down there. I was living in a house I had purchase site unseen, in an area I had always dreamed of.
