A Private Barn, Nine Pastures and a Covered Arena

The equestrian barn contains 10 stalls, two of them conditioned, according to the listing. A separate equipment and service building supports the operation, while nine individually gated pastures and riding trails distribute activity across the land. The 13,500 square foot covered arena supplies a dedicated place to school horses without depending entirely on an open paddock.

The equestrian barn is arranged around a central courtyard with fenced areas extending from the building.

These are substantial facilities in their own right. The arena’s stated area exceeds the residence’s listed square footage, an indication of how much of the property is devoted to riding and horse care. A pond spanning more than 3.5 acres adds another landscape element to the grounds.

The Ussery Group’s published listing calls it “the largest property in Palmetto Bluff.” That is the selling team’s description of the offering; the published acreage places the emphasis firmly on land and the ability to keep a complete equestrian setup alongside a substantial home.

Contemporary Interiors Behind a Lowcountry Exterior

The residence presents a broad, low profile beneath dark metal roofing, with pale exterior walls and a sweeping brick approach. Inside, the design moves toward a more contemporary palette: large black-framed windows, pale floors, sculptural lighting and a tall stone fireplace wall.

The main gathering area is organized around that fireplace, with the staircase tucked alongside it. Nearby, a bar and glass-enclosed wine display create another focal point. Broad glazing repeatedly draws the eye back toward the open grounds, keeping the interiors connected to the setting that defines the estate.

Two kitchens give the plan greater flexibility for everyday cooking and larger gatherings. The principal kitchen has a generous island and tall windows, while the second uses a darker cabinet palette. Dining spaces share the same outlook across the property, making the landscape part of the experience indoors.

Two Primary Suites and Space to Retreat

Both primary suites are on the main level, an arrangement that gives two substantial bedroom retreats a convenient position within the house. The wider accommodation is paired with bathrooms that use freestanding tubs, glass showers, detailed tilework and decorative finishes. Multiple closets and the separation of living and sleeping spaces support longer stays as well as visiting company.

A workout room and private home theater add places to exercise and unwind away from the principal gathering area. The theater shown in the listing photographs is arranged with lounge seating rather than rigid rows, giving it the character of a private screening room that can also serve as a relaxed evening retreat.

A Carriage House, Studio and Dedicated Pet Quarters

The carriage house over the garage contains a separate guest apartment with a full kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and living space with a dining area. A distinct studio building adds a large activity room, an office and library, a powder room and garage space for utility vehicles. Together, these buildings allow guests, work and hobbies to occupy their own settings.

The attention to animal care extends beyond the barn. A separate dog and cat facility includes four fenced dog kennels with indoor and outdoor access, a dedicated cat room, a pet bathing station, sink, dishwasher and refrigeration. Those practical details give the estate a more specialized identity than acreage alone would suggest.
