Marina Cottages
at The Ford Plantation
Richmond Hill, Georgia

The magnificent Ford Plantation and its vast array of amenities await the
new owners of the Marina Cottages, now just available on the market.

Description

Imagine you possess the resources of Henry and Clara Ford--where would you choose to live? In 1923, the Fords purchased 70,000 acres in Richmond Hill, just south of Savannah, Georgia, and built a sporting sanctuary alongside the Ogeechee River.

Now called The Ford Plantation, residents enjoy a Pete Dye golf course, superb fly and spin fishing, more than 10 miles of meandering horse, biking and hiking trails, a deepwater marina, squash and tennis, abundant wildlife, and complete day spa and fitness center.

Touring the Ogeechee River by canoe.

This perfect location offers nearby access to Georgia's magnificent beaches, pristine barrier islands and the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. The Marina Cottages at The Ford Plantation feature the luxury and seclusion of your own personal coastal estate, yet all the day and nightlife of charming historic Savannah just 20 minutes away.

Master golf course architect Pete Dye calls his course at The Ford Plantation his "Southern Masterpiece." Dye was given an unlimited budget and free hand to design this championship golf course, which opened in 1987. The 7,045-yard course, with its lakes and lagoons, covers more than 600 acres.

The front nine is designed around 250 acres of freshwater lakes, and the back nine is a Scottish-style links design created within one of the plantation's original rice fields. The course is challenging, boasts many turns and favors accuracy over distance.
