Palmetto Bluff, South Carolina

An Irreplicable Legacy in the Heart of the Lowcountry

945 Mount Pelia Road
Offered at $11,875,000

Located within Barge Landing and intentionally designed to promote privacy, togetherness, and connection with nature, this unparalleled 6-structure compound fully embodies the spirit of Jim Mozley’s original vision for Palmetto Bluff. Panoramic deep water views can be enjoyed throughout the 5+ acre property, which is positioned adjacent to 120 acres of lands in an easement with North American Land Institute—a rarity that cannot be overstated. A private pathway leading to one of the original barge landings utilized by the Varn Turpentine Cattle Company, which transported cattle to Savannah dating back to the 1920s, adds additional depth to the property's character.

Strategically built along the banks of Cauley’s Creek on a salt water flat that’s every angler’s dream, 945 Mount Pelia Road represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a legacy property in the heart of Palmetto Bluff’s storied landscape

Features including a large mudroom and laundry area with a dedicated dog washing station underscore the thoughtful integration of liveable luxuries throughout the home. On the second level, a spacious primary suite opens onto a historic sleeping porch, blending indoor comforts with the tranquility of nature. A finished third floor leads to a rooftop "widow's walk"—or open-air deck—that offers uninterrupted views of Cauley's Creek and the Savannah shipping channel in the distance.

Standing at just over 4,000 square feet, the understated 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom main house takes advantage of views from every room. Anchored by a custom floor-to-ceiling fireplace surround crafted from local oyster shells, the living room flows into an adjacent kitchen and breakfast nook area that exudes coastal elegance.

The Main House

A spacious office located above the garage offers a quiet retreat for work or creativity. Currently utilized as an office and equipped with a full bath, this flexible space could easily double as a studio.
