Ringed by the quiet serenity of untouched maritime forest, 11 Headwaters Road is a seven-bedroom, eight-and-a-half bath family compound consisting of a main house, guest house and carriage house set on more than 24 acres in the blissfully secluded Headwaters community of Palmetto Bluff. Throughout the estate grounds you’ll find quiet waterside beauty, deep enchanting forests, lushly landscaped gardens, outdoor living, a private covered dock, and its heart, a family home for generations.

The craftsmanship of Johnson-Dulaney builders paired with architectural brilliance from Wayne Windham to create grand sweeping spaces that give everyone room to come together, dotted with quiet retreats for soaking in the Lowcountry’s grandeur. In the main house, a soaring two-story great room anchors the home with reclaimed pine floors running toward a dramatic tabby fireplace that stretches to exposed beams. These beams carry into the airy formal dining and down to the open kitchen. Centered on a broad quartz center island, its six-burner gas range and plentiful counterspace and nearby wine cellar allow for even the largest family dinners.

The main house’s second floor also houses a bedroom as well as a full guest suite flanking an elevated sitting room, while the first floor is given over to the sprawling primary suite. A long gallery hall, which terminates in a pair of spacious offices with private baths, also leads to this blissful oasis. Enjoying private access to the screened patio, the primary suite indulges with gorgeous views of the property and amenities for two – dual walk-in closets, and his-and-hers en suite baths.

Such space is necessary in a property like this, where guests from the main house, guest house and carriage house will come together. Situated above the sprawling garage, with room for four cars, the carriage house offers full apartment living with expansive living room, kitchen and full suite with private bath. Anchored by a spacious living room with kitchenette, the guest house offers three bedrooms with spacious closets, two of which share a jack-and-jill bathroom with the third being a full suite.

A private enclave of ten family compounds overlooking the beautiful May River, the gated Headwaters community is the ultimate location for privacy and seclusion. With more than 600 acres of scenic marsh front and maritime forest, these estate-sized homesites offer spectacular views and endless opportunities for creative home design. Boating, kayaking, and fishing on Lake Haynes as well as access to the Lake House and Bunkie Guest Houses are exclusively reserved for Headwaters owners.
