Overview
Living in Litchfield
Litchfield sits between Murrells Inlet and Pawleys Island, running from the Atlantic across Highway 17 to the Waccamaw River. Litchfield by the Sea anchors the beach side with gated private access; Litchfield Plantation and Willbrook carry the old rice-plantation landscape on the river side. [Zach: add local detail.]
The housing mix runs from oceanfront villas and second-row cottages to custom homes on the marsh and fairway lots inside gated golf communities. Many properties carry amenity rights — beach club access, marina slips, trails — that are part of the value and must be documented. [verify each.]
Litchfield appeals to buyers who want the beach without a resort strip: Brookgreen Gardens and Huntington Beach State Park to the north, Pawleys dining to the south, and a short drive to medical care and groceries on Highway 17.

For sellers
Selling in Litchfield
In Litchfield, amenity rights are often the hidden value. Whether a home conveys Litchfield by the Sea beach-club access, a marina slip or trail and dock privileges can change the buyer pool entirely — get it in writing before you price. [verify with the association.]
Oceanfront and second-row homes also carry wind, flood and elevation questions that lenders raise early. Zach assembles the insurance and elevation picture before listing so the contract does not stall.
