123 Hunting Lodge Road is a four-bedroom, four-bathroom new construction home in the highly sought-after River Road neighborhood within Palmetto Bluff. Built to embrace the neighborhood’s rustic sophistication, high-end finishes mingle with the timeless textures of brick and tabby to create an atmosphere of Lowcountry relaxation.

The home’s great room unfolds from the covered entry porch, showcasing classical Lowcountry elements such as stacked tabby layers rising from Savannah brick and centered around a masonry fireplace. Knotted cypress accent timbers on the ceiling look down upon wide-plank hardwood flooring in brilliant contrast, guiding the eye toward the tabby-floored screen porch and grilling patio set at the rear of the screened porch. Serving as a colorfully modern counterpoint to this view, the chef’s kitchen features a gas range and custom range hood surrounding a dramatic charcoal gray center island topped with quartz countertops.

The inspired Brent Robinson Architects design puts a premium on these open and airy spaces, complementing them with more tranquil spots for greeting among its 3,164 square feet for greeting guests or unwinding. On the second story, a large sitting room transitions from a quartz-topped bar area with beverage cooler into a broad space that opens into an elevated covered porch. To one side, a roomy office with an integrated desk offers quiet contemplation.

The primary suite spans an entire wing of the property, stretching from a large bedroom with expansive windows into a roomy walk-in closet with multiple built-ins. In between, the ensuite bath indulges with dual-basin vanity, oversized soaking tub and walk-in shower.

Two full suites surround these second-story spaces, the larger of which opens into walk-in attic access. In addition to the roomier footprint, the larger suite indulges with dual-basin vanity, expansive walk-in closet and walk-in shower. And while the second upstairs suite may be slightly smaller, it’s array of windows fill the space with natural light, granting it a sun-kissed beauty. A further suite can be found on the ground floor, with standing shower, roomy closet and easy access to the home’s main living spaces.

A bridge between the two major villages, River Road embraces a slightly more formal and classic nature. Still within the confines of Lowcountry architecture, this neighborhood reflects inspiration from historical periods of architecture and is influenced by homes in Charleston and Savannah. Symmetry, rhythm and classic proportions reflect the beauty and history of great Southern architecture. This classicism and formality extend into the landscape designs and manicured gardens.
