Pulte Homes has opened Pecan Orchard, a gated retreat of only 40 single-family homesites in the first phase that border the links of Woodcreek Golf Course on one side and the shores of Tucker Lake on the other.

A 25-minute drive to the state capital and the University of South Carolina with quick access to Interstate 20, new construction in Pecan Orchard starts in the low $400,000s, according to a news release. Five open floorplans offer one- and two-story homes ranging in size from 2,179 square feet to over 3,320 square feet of living space.

The first release features nine homesites that either skirt the private golf course, sit alongside the lake or lie within the 45-acre neighborhood, nestled within the larger master-planned community of Woodcreek Farms, the release stated.

Buyers who purchase a Pulte home in Pecan Orchard can skip the waiting list for an opportunity to become a member of Woodcreek Club upon closing, the release stated. The Woodcreek amenity complex is a short walk or golf cart ride, and includes the 18-hole Tom Fazio golf course, six tennis courts, an outdoor swimming pool, dining room and clubhouse.

Pecan Orchard floorplans begin at two bedrooms and baths and ran all the way up to seven bedrooms and five baths plus a powder room. Homebuyers can also select from 2- to 4-car garages, the release stated.

“Pecan Orchard is so much more than a quiet refuge for golf enthusiasts with beautiful views of manicured fairways and stunning sunsets,” said Jaymie Dimbath, vice president of sales and marketing for PulteGroup Coastal Carolinas, in the release. “With so much to do, residents who want to join the private Woodcreek Club can do so straightaway and begin to enjoy full resort-style amenities and clubhouse dining with neighbors and friends so close to home.”

The two-story professionally decorated Northridge model home boasts a welcoming double front porch with up to six bedrooms, including an optional first floor Multi-Gen Suite with a full bath and walk-in closet, the release stated.. The open floorplan is great for entertaining with a gourmet kitchen, walk-in pantry, optional beverage bar, formal dining room and backyard patio for gathering as the day ends.

Located about 20 miles northeast of downtown Columbia, Woodcreek Farms is home to more than a dozen small lakes and ponds, along with parks and several miles of walking trails. Close to 1-20 with shopping and dining in the nearby Villages at Sandhill, Pecan Orchard is located on Woodcreek Farms Road in Eglin.
