At Palmetto Bluff, life moves at the pace of the tides; slow enough to savor, yet rich with moments worth sharing. And when it comes to welcoming the people you love most, the right home makes all the difference. Select properties here are designed with hosting in mind, offering guest houses, carriage suites, or casitas that create the perfect balance of connection and privacy.

Whether you’re planning for multi-generational living, accommodating long-term visitors, or simply want a dedicated space for friends to relax in comfort, these residences deliver it all: gracious main homes, thoughtfully appointed guest quarters, and inviting gathering spaces that encourage togetherness.

Why Separate Guest Quarters Make All the Difference

Having a guest house or casita isn’t just about extra square footage; it’s about flexibility. Grandparents can enjoy quiet mornings on their own porch. Young adults can come home for the summer without feeling cramped. Friends visiting for the weekend have the freedom to settle in without interrupting your daily rhythm. It’s the kind of setup that makes hosting effortless and enjoyable, for both you and your guests.

11 Headwaters Road: A Private Family Retreat

Set on more than 24 acres in the gated Headwaters community, 11 Headwaters Road is the definition of a family compound. Designed by Wayne Windham and built by Johnson-Dulaney, the property includes a main house, a guest house, and a carriage house apartment above a four-car garage.

Inside the main residence, a soaring two-story great room with reclaimed pine floors and a tabby fireplace creates a warm focal point for gatherings. The chef’s kitchen, complete with a six-burner gas range and quartz island, flows seamlessly into dining spaces and a wine cellar—ideal for celebrations of any size. Upstairs, additional guest suites offer comfort and privacy, while the primary suite boasts his-and-hers baths, dual walk-ins, and marsh-view screened porch access.

The guest house adds three bedrooms and a kitchenette-anchored living space, while the carriage apartment offers its own kitchen, living area, and bedroom. Surrounded by 600 acres of Lowcountry beauty and overlooking the headwaters of the May River, this estate makes every visit feel like a retreat.
