Tour This 24-Acre Private Estate in Palmetto Bluff’s Most Exclusive Enclave

Written by Palmetto Bluff

Tucked deep in the maritime forest and bordered by the headwaters of the May River, 11 Headwaters Road is one of the most private and secluded properties in Palmetto Bluff. Set on 24 acres within a gated enclave of just ten legacy estates, this seven-bedroom, eight-and-a-half-bath compound offers rare seclusion, exceptional craftsmanship, and generous spaces designed for gathering across generations.

Built for Generational Living

Designed by Wayne Windham and built by Johnson-Dulaney, the main house pairs scale with detail – reclaimed pine floors, a soaring great room with tabby fireplace, and a chef’s kitchen anchored by a quartz island and wine cellar. The first-floor primary suite features dual en suite baths, two walk-in closets, and private porch access. Upstairs, a guest suite and additional bedroom flank a quiet sitting room.

With a full apartment above the carriage house and a three-bedroom guest house nearby, the estate easily accommodates family holidays, summer weekends, and spontaneous gatherings. Each structure is surrounded by layered landscaping, native trees, and garden paths that lead to quiet pockets of stillness.

Outdoor Living That Flows Naturally

The outdoor experience at 11 Headwaters Road is designed for year-round use and complete immersion in the landscape. Three separate fire pits anchor gathering areas across the property, creating distinct zones for entertaining, relaxing, or retreating into nature. 

Wide screened porches extend the living space, while wooded trails and native landscaping lead to tucked-away seating areas throughout the property. A private owner’s dock on Lake Haynes invites morning paddles, afternoon fishing, or coffee at sunrise. Every detail was considered to create a home that lives as comfortably outside as it does in.
