Everyone knows that the Carolinas have beautiful nature preserves and an abundance of outdoor activities, but one small island in South Carolina is well-known for encouraging its residents and visitors to enjoy the environment while staying active: Hilton Head Island.

"Hilton Head Island is a perfect place to live for anyone that loves outdoor activities and the beach," says Steve Timperman of Charter One Realty. "We have an amazing subtropical climate year-round that allows us to be outdoors. I've lived here for 30 years, and it's only snowed about five times."

Steve says that some of the most popular outdoor activities include golf, tennis, hiking, fishing and especially biking. With over fifty miles of bicycle trails, the city is currently working to receive the achievement of a Bicycle Friendly Community from the League of American Bicyclists, which only 158 other cities in the United States have earned.

One particular community in Hilton Head Island that promotes the outdoor lifestyle is Wexford Plantation, which as a championship golf course, six tennis courts, and access to the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway via Broad Creek. Steve represents an 8,204-square-foot home in this community, 8 Plumbridge Lane.

In addition to having five bedrooms, six-full bathrooms and two-half bathrooms, included in this property is a guest house with a kitchen, bathroom and laundry room. The house also boasts a 12-plus-car garage, and the full balcony on the second floor overlooks a private pool and a private dock that can accommodate boats and yachts up to 72 feet long. "This house really does have the best craftsmanship," Steve says. "It's absolutely amazing."
