The Ford Plantation

A gated, 1,800-acre golf and sporting community on the Ogeechee River in Richmond Hill, roughly 400 homes, the former winter estate of Henry Ford. Every property owner is required to hold an equity membership in the on-site Ford Field & River Club, whose amenities include a Pete Dye golf course, a deepwater marina, and an equestrian center.

What to Independently Verify

This is the strongest mandatory-bundling case found in the Savannah market this session -- club membership is not optional here, and its cost must be budgeted as part of any purchase decision, not treated as an add-on amenity. Confirm the current, exact equity initiation fee and dues directly with the club before making an offer, given the genuine conflict in reported figures documented on the anchor record.
