Belle Mer – Priced from the $250s – 1625 to 2300 + square feet
Located in Surfside Beach, this 235 single-family natural gas community had its Grand Opening in January 2017. It is similar to the popular Surfside Beach Club in that it is an active community with a large swimming pool, fitness center, and a clubhouse with a spacious gathering room. Buyers will have a choice of three distinct architectural styles: Traditional, Lowcountry, and Craftsman. Each model has 12 elevation options, and buyers are not constrained by a pre-planned vision of which model can go on what lot. This helps create a more interesting street scape.
Irrigation and landscaping are included in the basic package, which means sodding to the property line, and using mulch instead of pine straw. Nearly half the lots have water views. The hot water heater and HVAC systems will use natural gas, and homeowners can add a gas fireplace and / or kitchen range. Other standard features include a base security system, marble windowsills, 12’ ceilings, substantial molding, plus a multitude of other design details that a Bill Clark representative will gladly share with interested visitors.
Prospective buyers can see four showcase homes. They are built and furnished to emphasize upgrade options and a plan’s potential. Inventory homes are unfurnished base plans situated on different types of lots to give buyers a more concrete vision of building on a particular type of site. Buyers benefit by seeing showcase and inventory homes that are commensurate with the characteristics and personality of the overall community.
Tuscan Sands – Priced from the low $360s – minimum 2,500 square feet
Bill Clark Homes has 22 lots and offers five models in Barefoot Resort’s last new home neighborhood. For those who already have a lot, Bill Clark Homes can also build to the owner’s interior specifications while designing exteriors to suit the overall appearance of Tuscan Sands.
Norman and Ann Sullivan owned a condominium in Barefoot Resort when they purchased a lot that overlooks the Greg Norman Champion Golf Academy and has an Intracoastal Waterway view. Norman said, “We entertained three builders and decided on Bill Clark Homes based on the quality of The Venice showcase home. John Rist [sales representative], Ann and I drew up the plan the way we wanted it.” This included taking advantage of the view and making significant interior alterations. After engineers reviewed it to ensure structural integrity, the plan came back with the new pricing, which the Sullivans found very reasonable.
Two other Tuscan Sands homeowners considered other communities before deciding to build The Capri model with modifications. Kevin Ruth said of Bill Clark Homes, “They were wide open to our ideas.” He added, “Something that was amazing to us was they told us at the beginning we wouldn’t have a really long punch list when we were done, and we thought ‘yeah, sure.’ They were right; we didn’t have a long punch list.” Kevin and his wife Georgette were quick to credit the company and Gail Farrell. Kevin said, “We’ve built a lot of houses, and we’re doing a remodel up north, and nothing has been like working with Bill Clark, particularly Gail, she was phenomenal – she really listened to what Georgette wanted. They didn’t just want us to be happy; they wanted us to be thrilled. ”
Rick and Ana Rush agreed with the positive working relationship. Rick said, “If I compare this experience to building in Pennsylvania, this was a 1,000 times more pleasant. It was easy to deal with the people in the office; they were professional and handled my concerns very well.” Rick and Ana also appreciated details that were standard, such as the marble sills, bullnose corners, and wainscoting with panels, fluted casings and two-piece chair rails.
Little Palm Key – Priced from the $230s – 1,445 to 2,355 + square feet
Saltwater is in the air from this enclave of 36 lots on 67th Avenue in Myrtle Beach. Beth and Tony Gowan have lived here since 2014. Their Bill Clark story began with an open search of new homes and resales. They had actually begun to work with another custom builder that had a habit of saying ‘no’ to changes that the Gowans wanted. By contrast, Bill Clark Homes was the ‘yes’ builder. Tony said, “The important thing for me that was their willingness to work with us at a fair price.” Tony gives kudos to David Martin their Service Manager for paying attention to details and being a constant presence on the site. “In fact, he actually changed a couple of things that we hadn’t thought of because he was so conscientious, which turned out to be better for the home.” Jessica Hill kept the couple updated by sending photos and emails. “She was wonderful,” Beth said. At times they thought for sure Bill Clark Homes would say no to a change, but as Beth reported, “There was not one thing that we asked them to do that they did not do.” The Gowans elected to put the Key West model, one of eight plans, on piers and made other modifications. Beth said, “We were confident working with them. We knew that Surfside Beach Club was a thriving development.” Of Little Palm Key, Beth said, “We love that it’s just a little pocket community and that it’s 600 yards off the water.” As soon as the couple closed, they ordered a custom golf cart to go with the house.
Legacy Place in Litchfield Plantation – Priced from the $350s – 2,140 to 2,822+ square feet
As Jeff Farrell described, “It is antebellum. It is truly Tara when you drive along the avenue of live oaks. At the very end there is a white home that is a couple of hundred years old and remnants of all the old rice fields behind it.” This is a special boutique project due to the select number of available lots and the historic natural beauty of the locale. Five Charleston-style plans have been designed befitting of the setting.
Fairway Point in Pawleys Plantation – Priced from the $370s – 2,264 to 3,923+ square feet
