PALMETTO BLUFF
A Life Unlike Any Other
Beneath the shelter of century-old live oaks lies the Lowcountry’s best-kept secret.
Palmetto Bluff is a 20,000-acre Lowcountry community in
Bluffton, South Carolina, just 20 miles from the beaches of Hilton Head Island and 25 miles from the culture and charm of historic Savannah.
Set among 32 miles of riverfront, winding waterways, salt marshes, and maritime forest, Palmetto Bluff offers a different way of life—one shaped by the land and the wild beauty that surrounds it. Three world-class golf courses, private Club amenities, and thoughtfully designed homes invite you to experience it all more fully. This is nature in its ultimate form, and a place made for living in it.
