The Ussery Group of Charter One Realty is marketing the Palmetto Bluff estate. Its current listing reports 39.82 acres and 10,741 square feet of residential space, with five bedrooms, five full bathrooms and three half bathrooms. Built in 2019, the offering also includes a studio building, a carriage house guest apartment and unusually extensive facilities for both horses and household pets.

A wider aerial view places the residence, pastures and supporting buildings within the surrounding Lowcountry landscape.

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.

An individual stall shows the barn’s metal partitions, sliding gate and masonry-lined interior.

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 covered riding arena provides a large sheltered area for schooling horses.

Fenced pastures extend across the property beside the covered riding arena.

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 living room combines sculptural ceiling lighting, pale finishes and expansive black-framed windows.

A tall stone fireplace wall separates the gathering space from the adjacent staircase.

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.

A bar with pendant lighting fronts a glass-enclosed wine display beside the main living area.

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.

The main kitchen features a substantial island, pale cabinetry and full-height windows facing the grounds.

A second kitchen uses darker cabinetry and a central island beneath a pendant light.

A dining space overlooks the grounds through tall windows framed in black.

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.

One of the bedroom suites pairs a low upholstered bed with a sitting area beside tall windows.

A freestanding tub, glass shower and decorative wall finishes distinguish one of the bathrooms.

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.

The workout room accommodates exercise equipment beside a broad window.

The private home theater features a large screen and lounge seating within a softly lit room.

A screened porch extends the living space toward the pastures, with seating, dining and a fireplace under cover. It provides a more sheltered way to enjoy the grounds than the open lawn and reinforces the house’s connection to the riding landscape.

A screened porch combines a fireplace, seating and a dining area overlooking the pastures.

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.

A separate guest living area includes a comfortable lounge and an adjoining kitchen.

A long studio room features extensive shelving and a central worktable beneath pendant lighting.

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.

A fenced courtyard creates another outdoor space between the estate’s supporting buildings.

The property sits within Palmetto Bluff, where the listing also identifies shared amenities including a marina, boat access, trails, fitness facilities, pools and racquet sports. Those community facilities complement the private equestrian grounds. They are distinct from the buildings, pastures and riding arena included in this offering.
