RICHMOND HILL, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Ford Plantation, a premier sporting community located on the former site of Henry Ford’s winter retreat, announces its partnership with Seabolt Brokers LLC to operate an on-site real estate sales office. Seabolt Brokers is a full-service real estate firm based in Savannah, Ga., and is the exclusive affiliate of Harry Norman Realtors of Atlanta and Christie’s International Real Estate for the entire Coastal Georgia area.
“We are extremely confident in our real estate partnership with Seabolt Brokers,” said Nick Cassala, CEO and General Manager of The Ford Plantation. “Working with Seabolt Brokers, an experienced and established real estate firm with several luxury affiliations, Ford will be well positioned as one of the nation’s most distinguished and desirable communities.”
The Ford-Seabolt partnership launched with the opening of a new real estate sales office on August 1 to field inquiries and to provide unique, customized experiences for potential members. The office is staffed with experienced, full-time luxury real estate agents.
Peter Nelsen will serve as sales manager and Helen Duffy as sales associate. The Seabolt team will be fully integrated with The Ford Plantation marketing resources to showcase the sporting club lifestyle to potential members and will welcome the opportunity to work directly with them or through their own brokers in making purchasing decisions.
“My passion for The Ford Plantation has been long standing,” said Seabolt Brokers owner Elaine Seabolt. “I truly believe this is one of the most desirable private communities. It is serenity and natural beauty at its best. My entire real estate career, spanning almost 30 years, has been focused on the luxury real estate market, and I am delighted to have the opportunity to market and sell The Ford Plantation’s lifestyle and beautiful properties.”
“Our team looks forward to working with potential and current customers along with the exceptional staff at Ford,” said Sales Manager Peter Nelsen. “There are so many unique amenities and experiences to be had here, and we are thrilled to be able to share these as we work with The Ford Plantation.”

Other projects include updating lodging rooms at The Main House (Henry and Clara Ford’s former mansion), expansion of the Sports Barn, and updating and enhancing the Lake Dye Grill complex, the Club’s casual dining venue.
