80 Hunting Lodge Road is a three-bedroom (with bunk room), two-and-a-half bathroom coastal-style home informed by a modern sense of Lowcountry sophistication and wrapped in tranquil wooded scenery. Located in Palmetto Bluff’s desirable River Road neighborhood, its wonderfully open layout embraces the indoor/outdoor living that has come to define this area of the South.

Crafted by DF Luxury Homes from a Markalunas Architects design, the thoughtfully curated materials and selections begin before you even step in, with a welcoming entry porch set in classic Lowcountry elements of Savannah brick and tabby. In the great room at the heart of the home, rich hardwood floors run towards accents of shiplap and brick in a set of dazzling built-ins flanking the gas fireplace.

Balancing these traditional elements, the open kitchen adds modern flair with quartz counters, eye-catching tile backsplash and custom cabinets flanking a professional grade eight-burner gas range. Ingeniously designed for livability, the kitchen flows into a side porch and expansive mud room beside the roomy laundry. These serve as an owner’s entrance leading out to the two-car garage.

The great hallmark of Palmetto Bluff living is year-round outdoor enjoyment, and this property embraces that ethos with a massive, screened living space. Across tabby floors, its wide footprint allows for dining, entertainment and relaxation in the breeze, with a brick fireplace at one end and stone-topped grilling station at the other.

The dynamic layout of the home allows for a myriad of accommodations. On the ground floor, a wide study enjoys windows on two walls and spacious closet that allow it to serve as a guest room, with a powder room right outside. A roomy flex space on the second floor opens to both another bedroom as well as a custom-crafted bunk room. These two rooms share access to a full bath with dual-basin vanity, tub and shower. Naturally, the primary suite sets the bar for comfort and spaciousness with wraparound forest views from the bedroom, dual walk-in closets and a lavish ensuite bath with garden tub, his-and-hers vanities, and walk-in shower.

An extension of Wilson Village, the River Road neighborhood continues the established character of Wilson Village while also being adjacent to the 120-acre River Road Preserve. More classic, period details give the architecture a slightly more formal feel in this neighborhood. Known as the Garden District of Palmetto Bluff, the River Road neighborhood was thoughtfully designed to incorporate community green spaces, staying true to the Lowcountry landscape and integrating the natural environment into the neighborhood.
