Holly Tree Plantation Homes on Large Lots in Simpsonville

Community Highlights

Holly Tree Plantation stands as one of Simpsonville's most established golf course communities, built between 1967 and 2014 around a George Cobb-designed championship 18-hole golf course. With just 4 active listings and only 9 homes sold in the past year from a community of 200 properties, this neighborhood exemplifies the "rarely available" character that agents consistently emphasize. The community's defining feature is its generous lot sizes—averaging over half an acre—adorned with mature hardwoods and meticulously maintained landscapes that create a park-like setting throughout the tree-lined streets.

"Homes in Holly Tree feature some of the largest lots in the Five Forks area, with mature hardwood trees and lush fescue lawns creating private retreats on properties ranging from 0.4 to 1.0 acres."

The architectural character reflects classic 1970s and 1980s custom construction, with all-brick homes predominating. Split-foyer and ranch-style designs take advantage of the rolling terrain, many featuring vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and golf course or creek views. Properties commonly include 4-5 bedrooms, formal living and dining rooms, spacious primary suites, and generous bonus rooms. Recent sales show extensive updates: encapsulated crawlspaces addressing the region's moisture challenges, remodeled kitchens with granite or quartz countertops, and renovated bathrooms, making many homes move-in ready despite their age.

Amenities & Lifestyle

Holly Tree Country Club offers optional membership packages (separate from the modest HOA fee) providing access to a junior Olympic-sized pool with seasonal cover for year-round use, tennis courts, pickleball courts, a clubhouse with dining facilities, and the championship golf course. Multiple community pools including the Riverwalk pool serve residents, and the private setting emphasizes outdoor living with most homes featuring screened porches, multi-level decks, and fenced backyards backing to wooded areas or babbling creeks.
