Palmetto Bluff is a vibrant human settlement surrounded by wilderness teeming with wildlife, unspoiled rivers and salt marshes, and the sounds and smells of nature unpolluted by civilization.
As the largest remaining waterfront property on the East coast, Palmetto Bluff is evolving as a residential community and conservation preserve. Of the original 20,000 acre tract, 6,500 acres were set aside as a managed forest and since that time an additional 734 acres have been put under a conservation easement.
The community of Palmetto Bluff is characterized by extensive nature preserves, river access and walking trails, a vibrant Village center, and an elegant inn and spa managed by Auberge Resorts.
The residential real estate offerings at Palmetto Bluff are as diverse as the land itself and are categorized as “Town” or “Country” in character. The former will consist of a series of residential Villages, where neighbors live closely by choice, and walk or bike to nearby facilities. The creation of Wilson Village was the culmination of extensive studies of the characteristics and synergy of Southern waterfront towns, such as Beaufort, Charleston and Savannah.
“Country” properties consist of larger homesites, (some up to 30 acres) which lie outside the Village areas and emphasize privacy, natural surroundings and – to the extent desired – seclusion. Yet all are within a five to eight-minute drive to recreation, shopping, dining and other facilities.
The variety of real estate properties types provides a diversity rarely found in residential communities. Whether you prefer “Town” or “Country”, both provide access to some of the finest recreational facilities and the opportunity to explore the brilliant natural setting that gives Palmetto Bluff its distinctive spirit.
Palmetto Bluff is owned by Crescent Resources, a land management and real estate development company headquartered in Charlotte. The company is a joint venture between Duke Energy, Morgan Stanley Real Estate Fund (MSREF) and the company’s management.
