One of the last remaining legacy waterfront estates in Bluffton, this extraordinary property is being offered for the first time in 65 years. Encompassing 16.6 acres of high ground adorned with majestic trees and heirloom plantings, the estate boasts 485 feet of frontage along the scenic May River, with sweeping views both upriver and downriver. Accessed from picturesque South Carolina Highway 46, the property enjoys a prime location just minutes from downtown Bluffton, approximately 20 minutes to historic Savannah, and 30 minutes to charming Beaufort. The existing approximately 3,400-square-foot residence, built in the 1960s, offers the opportunity for restoration or the perfect footprint for a custom new build. A private dock and swimming pool enhance the waterfront lifestyle, while rare Old Line Camellia plantings add character and timeless Southern charm. With substantial acreage between May River Road and the riverfront, the estate offers exceptional privacy and flexibility-ideal for a multigenerational family compound, equestrian retreat, or legacy waterfront residence. A rare opportunity to secure one of Bluffton's most significant remaining riverfront properties.
