$4.4M Lowcountry-Inspired Moreland Village Home in Bluffton, South Carolina

$4,400,000 | Built 2017 | 4,658 Sq. Ft. | 5 Beds | 5.5 Baths | 0.31 Acres

Lowcountry inspiration comes in the form of wide porches, plantation shutters, oyster tabby stucco, and tall windows that embrace views of Lake Bales and the surrounding area. Indoors, crisp, clean interiors and white oak floors create a stylish, comfortable home that is well suited for full- or part-time living. The living room opens to a light-filled gallery overlooking the pool terrace toward preserved wetlands. The adjacent family room and kitchen both enjoy natural light from numerous windows. Custom kitchen features include a suite of Thermador appliances, a large built-in wine refrigerator and bar, butler’s pantry, and custom cabinetry topped by granite countertops. A central island provides additional storage and counter seating.

The main floor is also home to the primary suite, which features tall ceilings and windows, a sitting area, generous walk-in closet, and ensuite bath with dual vanities, walk-in shower, and soaking tub. The second floor features an office, sitting room, and three ensuite bedrooms, one of which opens up to a private, lakefront porch. A detached two-car garage features space for golf cart parking and a guest suite above with an ensuite bath, kitchenette, and private entrance. This home’s generous outdoor living space, which includes a wide front porch, covered rear porch, and screened porch, makes the most of its private, pineland setting overlooking preserved wetlands and Lake Bales. The large, screened porch has oyster tabby flooring, an outdoor kitchen with Bull grill and mini-fridge, and a brick-surround fireplace for all-season enjoyment.

A perfect home base for exploring, Moreland Village is settled where forest, marsh, and waterway meet to create a distinctive, naturally stunning environment. Trails connect the community and lead to convenient amenities and intimate gathering spaces in the forest and along the water’s edge. Taking cues from the history of the land, the more rural and informal Moreland breaks from traditional interpretations of Lowcountry style. Architecture here blurs the lines between indoors and out and promotes engagement with nature. With a more contemporary vision, home details include exposed rafter tails, lower sloped roofs, larger expanses of glass, cable handrails, steel windows and doors, and numerous porches. The property is on the market for $4.4 million with Martin Roache of Palmetto Bluff Real Estate Co.
