Comparable recent sales
No closed sales of a similar home within about 10 miles in McIntosh County in the last 18 months are in our MLS data set, so this page shows no comparable-sales median or automated estimate for Belvedere Island Plantation. A licensed Momentum Realty agent can prepare a property-specific comparative market analysis on request.
The Messtimate
Insufficient local evidence for an automated estimate. The Messtimate is a deliberately simple range — living area × recent closed-sale $/sq ft from comparable homes nearby — and it only renders when at least 3 defensible sales exist within about 10 miles in McIntosh County in the last 18 months. None qualify for this home, so no dollar range is shown. It is not an appraisal or a valuation.
Methodology: the range would be 4,221 sq ft × the interquartile $/sq ft of comparable closed sales (same property type, living area within 30%, closed within 18 months, nearest verified subdivision, 3-mile, then 10-mile same-county stage). Estimate for general information only; never an appraisal, valuation, or offer. Updated October 2, 2026.
Momentum Property Score
27/100 is limited across the objective indicators below. It reflects only those measures — not the home’s quality, condition, or desirability.
A 0-100 score built from objective property and market data: flood risk, insurance, pricing, supply, affordability, and recent sales. Higher means more measures line up in a buyer’s favor. It reflects only the factors below.
Coverage: 5 of 8 indicators had valid data for this home; indicators without data are left out, not scored as zero. Momentum Scores are objective, rules-based indicators computed from listing facts, public records, and recent comparable sales. They do not measure property condition, quality, or investment suitability, and they are not appraisals, valuations, investment advice, or judgments about a neighborhood or who should live there. Verify independently.

Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 1594 Fair Hope Drive, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 2001 (25 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
- HOA dues are listed at $133/mo: request the current budget, reserves, and rules before relying on that figure or on any restriction.
- Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and confirm with your insurer whether flood insurance is required.
- Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in McIntosh County; age of roof and any prior claims affect the premium.
- Waterfront: confirm seawall or dock condition and permits, and ask who owns and maintains the shoreline.
- Listed living area is 4,221 sq ft: verify it against the property appraiser's record and measure before relying on it.
- Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
- Review permit history with the county.
- Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $9,954/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price; confirm exemptions with the county tax assessor.
- Confirm school zoning directly with the district.

Per the listing record, 1594 Fair Hope Drive was built in 2001 and has 4,221 sq ft of living area, 5 bedrooms and 4.0 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 1594 Fair Hope Drive in?
1594 Fair Hope Drive is in Belvedere Island Plantation in Townsend, McIntosh County. Too few comparable closed sales exist nearby for this page to show local sales statistics; a licensed agent can prepare a comparative market analysis.
Does 1594 Fair Hope Drive have an HOA, and how much are the dues?
The listing reports HOA dues of $133 per month. Dues, what they cover, and the community's rules should be confirmed from the association's current documents before relying on them.
How are property taxes on 1594 Fair Hope Drive estimated?
The estimate on this page (about $9,954 per year) assumes the county reassesses at the list price. Georgia counties reassess after a sale and exemptions such as homestead must be applied for by the new owner, so the seller's current bill is not a guide. Confirm with the county tax assessor.
Is 1594 Fair Hope Drive in a flood zone?
A flood designation has not been verified for this address. Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center (msc.fema.gov) and confirm with your insurer.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
