5 Exclusive Benefits for Palmetto Bluff Members
Where the height of luxury meets the depths of nature, you’ll find Palmetto Bluff. 20,000 acres where the land comes first, and everything else second. Palmetto Bluff is a tight-knit community tucked away in Bluffton, South Carolina.

Homeowners seeking luxury in the Lowcountry need look no further. This community offers luxury coastal homes as well as club amenities that foster an extraordinary lifestyle. Below are some of the perks available to Palmetto Bluff members.
1. Unparalleled Amenities
The Bluff places a strong emphasis on outdoor recreation and leisure. From the esteemed sporting amenities to welcoming trails and waterways, there’s no end in sight for the adventures to be had.
The Sporting Life
Located on 40 acres of hardwood bottom, the Shooting Club at Palmetto Bluff offers 13 sporting clay stations. An elevated and covered five-stand station, plus a wobble deck field, tallies a total of 14 shooting sites.
For the equine enthusiasts, an extensive network of riding trails traverses Palmetto Bluff’s 20,000 acres and the 173-acre Longfield Stables. Equestrians will appreciate the FEI-regulation outdoor dressage arena and five-acre turf event field.

The Wilson Lawn & Racquet Club in neighboring Wilson Village is the community's favorite spot for practicing their serve. The facility has eight Har-Tru tennis courts, six pickleball courts, two bocce courts, a basketball court, and a pro shop to meet the needs of Palmetto Bluff members.

2. Land and Wildlife Conservation
Native flora and fauna are always at the forefront at Palmetto Bluff. The Conservancy Team works on-site to protect the lush maritime forests and winding tidal creeks that define the spectacular geography of Palmetto Bluff. As part of this effort, the team monitors species regularly to ensure that wildlife numbers remain stable.
Across Palmetto Bluff’s 20,000 acres, the Conservancy team monitors native bat populations, as well as alligators, bald eagles, turtles, and ancient oak trees and palmettos. Tours, classes and workshops, programs, research and field trips are all available to residents and guests, introducing them to this landscape in ways large and small, structured and informal.
Conservation plays a major role in the community's architecture. The location of homes and buildings on each lot is carefully chosen to reduce the impact on the natural environment. As a result, Palmetto Bluff's thousands of acres will never see more than 4,000 homes built. For Palmetto Bluff members, this means benefitting from a community that values the surrounding natural resources.
