163 Inverness Drive, Bluffton, SC 29910

Property Description

Marsh-front luxury in gated Colleton River, styled like the pages of a luxury design catalog. 163 Inverness Drive greets you with white stucco, black-framed windows, and carriage-style garage doors set around a private paver motor court shaded by live oaks. Inside, steel-framed glass doors open to a soaring double-height great room crowned by hand-hewn timber trusses. Stone floors, soft neutral walls, and a balcony overlook above create a space that feels both grand and relaxed. Walls of glass frame wide marsh views from the living and dining areas, filling the home with Lowcountry light. The chef's kitchen is the heart of the home, with a timber-beamed ceiling, terracotta-tone tile floors, and two islands, one topped in warm butcher block. Glass-front cabinetry and a statement range hood finish the room, and a 1000 bottle walk-in wine room with floor-to-ceiling racks sits nearby for easy entertaining. A private office with rich wood built-ins offers a quiet place to work. The well-planned layout includes 5 bedrooms and 5.5 baths. The primary suite takes in sweeping marsh views and features a spa-style bath with a freestanding soaking tub, a large walk-in shower, and generous vanity space. Upstairs, a timber-vaulted loft lounge looks over the great room, and a separate second-floor family room offers space for movie nights or guests. Each guest bedroom has its own bath. Thoughtful details continue throughout, from designer lighting to custom millwork and serene, light-filled bedrooms. A mudroom with bench seating, a laundry room, and a 2.5-car garage handle everyday living with ease. Outside, the home is built for coastal entertaining. A covered loggia with a stone fireplace flows to a summer kitchen with a built-in grill, and the pool and dining terrace look out over miles of marsh and open water. It's a setting made for golden-hour sunsets, morning coffee with the tide, and evenings around the fire. Colleton River is one of the Lowcountry's most private gated communities, set on a peninsula where the Colleton and Chechessee Rivers meet. Residents enjoy a natural setting of marsh, maritime forest, and water views, along with golf courses by Jack Nicklaus and Pete Dye. Old Town Bluffton's shops and restaurants, the beaches of Hilton Head Island, historic Beaufort, and Savannah are all within easy reach. This is a rare chance to own a designer-finished, marsh-front home in one of Bluffton's most sought-after communities. Schedule your private showing today.
