A Car Collector’s Dream Home in Lowcountry South Carolina

Listing of the Day

Location: Bluffton, South Carolina 

Price: $4.995 million 

Situated on nearly an acre of tree-filled land in the Lowcountry community of Palmetto Bluff, South Carolina, this five-bedroom home has serene marshland views and a pair of screened-in porches to take full advantage of the area’s temperate climate.  

“It’s in a spectacular location and enjoys unimpeded sunrise views across the tidal marshlands and tributaries of Cauley’s Creek,” said listing agent Bryan Byrne of Palmetto Bluff Real Estate Company. “The home features traditional architectural details such as Old Savannah brick, oyster tabby stucco, abundant windows and a standing-seam metal roof.”

Built in 2019 by a car collector, the ground floor was specifically designed to house up to 10 cars plus a large golf cart. The two porches were created with ample space for dining and lounging.

“The primary porch includes a wood-burning fireplace clad in Old Savannah brick and an outdoor kitchen with granite countertops, a stainless Alfresco grill, and a Big Green Egg grill,” said Mr. Byrne. “It also features durable Ipe flooring and an A-frame design with vaulted ceilings that creates drama and height. It’s a wonderful place to entertain family and friends or just relax.”

A pair of mahogany doors lead from the front porch into a shiplap-clad foyer that provides a direct view across the great room to the marsh beyond. The open-concept living room features a coffered ceiling, wide-plank floors and a fireplace flanked by custom built-ins for display and storage. In the adjacent kitchen and morning room, corner-to-corner windows provide natural light—two pairs of French doors open onto both screened porches.

Upstairs, the primary suite features two closets and a large bathroom with heated, marble flooring, dual vanities with a dressing table and a soaking tub. Three  additional bedrooms with en suite bathrooms are also located on the main floor; the home’s top floor has another en-suite bedroom. Filled with natural light, the top floor is also home to an office/study and a large media room.

Upon venturing outdoors, the property is located within a short walk of Moreland Village. 

“The home’s marsh-side location offers quick, easy access to the amenities of Palmetto Bluff’s newest ‘village,’ which was designed to blend seamlessly into the landscape,” said Mr. Byrne.

This 4,561-square-foot house sits on a 0.91-acre lot and has five bedrooms, five full bathrooms.

Neighborhood Notes 

The nearby Moreland Village is a good home base for exploring the Lowcountry Palmetto Bluff Club’s attractions, such as Cole’s Lowcountry Tavern, said Mr. Byrne.

The tavern neighbors an amenity space with a “bowling alley and game room with pool tables, foosball and shuffleboard tables, board games and card tables,” he added. “There are also two swimming pools, a state-of-the-art fitness center, biking trails and community docks along freshwater lakes and Cauley’s Creek.”

The property is also a short golf cart ride away from the club’s Jack Nicklaus signature 18-hole May River Golf Course and its 173-acre Longfield Stables. Palmetto Bluff is also home to the Montage Palmetto Bluff resort.
