Nestled along the pristine salt marshes of the Okatie River lies one of the last remaining legacy waterfront parcels of its kind. The estate is two parcels, which combined total approximately 75 acres and offer more than 3,000 linear feet of deepwater and marsh frontage. With sweeping northeastern exposure, this rare property welcomes the sunrise across shimmering tidal creeks, unveiling a breathtaking Lowcountry landscape that feels secluded, storied, and timeless. Centuries-old live oaks, draped in Spanish moss, stand as sentinels to the land's enduring heritage. The property's scale, setting, and natural beauty make it a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create a private estate or family compound unlike any other. Set in the heart of Bluffton yet enveloped in the serenity of secluded countryside, this land embodies the rare balance between accessibility and privacy. Expansive views of the Okatie's winding waterways and untouched marshlands create a sense of retreat that feels far removed from the everyday, while remaining just moments from Bluffton's charming historic district, fine dining, and vibrant community. With so few legacy parcels of this magnitude remaining, opportunities like this are increasingly scarce. Its conservation potential offers the chance to preserve and protect a significant piece of the Lowcountry's natural and cultural fabric by safeguarding its maritime forests, tidal creeks, and riverfront for generations to come. The Okatie River itself holds deep historic roots, once serving as a vital waterway for early settlers and Native tribes, and today remains a cherished sanctuary for wildlife and a source of quiet beauty for those fortunate enough to call its banks home.This remarkable estate honors the past while offering endless possibilities for the future in the form of a private retreat, a family legacy, or a conservation masterpiece. It is, quite simply, a rare and enduring treasure on the Lowcountry coast.
