HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. — A 9.5-acre island that is part of the history of Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, just hit the market for $8.49 million.
Gull Island is the site where Charles Fraser developed his concept for Sea Pines Plantation at Hilton Head Island. Sea Pines was the first private plantation community on the island, developed in 1956.

It includes an office, chef’s kitchen, 2,500-bottle wine cellar, pool and spa. Another 1,500 square feet of unheated space includes a three-car garage, covered porches and patios. The property also includes a detached, 1,500-square-foot guest house with an attached garage/workshop.
