Dunes West boasts miles of sidewalk, walking and biking paths, towering oaks draped in Spanish moss, pristine marshes, creeks, water ways, and meticulously groomed landscaping. A large county club house with lounge, bar, and a restaurant are complemented by a complete array of country club amenities - including adult and multiple pools, a full-size waterslide and park w/ multiple water features, 9 lighted tennis courts (clay and asphalt), pickle ball, a full gym, exercise area, play park, etc. The neighborhood features a player-friendly, yet challenging Arthur Hills designed 18-hole course and is considered one of the Southeast's premier golf destinations. Several teams, weekly events and activities, and clubs are organized and arranged through the neighborhood and club. While the first historic record of the land (now known as Dunes West) was a grant of 1000 acres made in 1696, it is believed that the land was not first developed until its purchase by Captain John Vanderhorst, Joseph Vanderhorst and Thomas Lynch in 1712. Over the next decades, the site became home to a large plantation known as Four Men's Ramble. The plantation produced mostly bricks along with some rice and cotton and the main house and its outbuildings were located on the site that is now the Dunes West Club. In 1827, the plantation was sold to A.S. Willington, the first editor of the Charleston News and Courier newspaper, and the property became known as Lexington. In subsequent years, Lexington changed hands several times and, by the end of the Civil War, the main house was in ruins. In 1930 the property was purchased by Henrietta Hartford, the widow of Edward V. Hartford and one of the nation's wealthiest women. Mrs. Hartford developed an elaborate estate on the site of the original Lexington house including a thirty-two room house furnished with imported European antiques, a saltwater swimming pool, tennis courts, nine golf holes, stables, a guest house, servants' quarters and gardens designed by the Olmsted firm. Some of these additions remain today. In 1937, Mrs. Hartford was remarried to the charming Prince Guido Pignatelli of Italy. The Prince and Princess visited Lexington often until it mysteriously burned to the ground in 1942. Unable to face rebuilding the estate, the Princess eventually sold the property in 1947 to the O.L. Williams Veneer Company, which later became a part of Georgia Pacific. The development of modern-day Dunes West and the current golf club commenced in 1991 and is considered one of the Southeast's premier golf destinations and the premier luxury gated neighborhood in the area (Dunes West and Mt Pleasant Historical Society, 2025).
