Palmetto Bluff Resort

Palmetto bluff resort its like no other. It’s a vibrant residential and recreational community filled with wildlife, unspoiled rivers and salt marshes. Its a treasure beyond words.

WHY WE BUILT IN PALMETTO BLUFF RESORT

In 2004, we built our first home in Palmetto Bluff Resort. We were searching for a unique property and found it there. Initially, I didn’t intend to purchase anything that day, but after witnessing the extensive offerings of Palmetto Bluff, we fell in love and bought a 4-acre lot. It was a secluded lot surrounded by water. We resided there until 2008, but due to the economic downturn, we decided to sell it and acquire a smaller property. The house was too spacious for our needs, and we desired something more manageable.

Building our Second Home In Palmetto Bluff Resort

Our second home in Palmetto Bluff was a cozy half-acre lot, significantly smaller than our previous one. I was captivated by the property’s breathtaking views of the equestrian area. After interviewing several builders, we decided to collaborate with Reclamation By Design, an award-winning construction company.

 They were so easy to work with. When I had questions about how things are done they explain so patiently! My husband and I have learned so much from them. We used one of their house designs. Since they already built this home somewhere else we were able to make the plan our own with some changes.

Features of My Palmetto Bluff Home

1. Concrete Flooring

I always wanted concrete flooring in my home. It was surprisingly affordable to do. It gave my home an industrial feel which is what I loved.

2. Framing changes.

During the framing process, my husband and I have been going through each room making any changes in sizes of closets or little things like the positioning of the vanities tubs and toilets.

Concrete flooring was always a dream of mine for my home. Surprisingly, it turned out to be quite affordable. It gave my home an industrial feel, which I absolutely loved.

3. Woodwork.

My design My design plans for the walls include installing shiplap along the stairway and hallways. for the walls is to have shiplap up the stairway along the hallways. Too much wood can look overdone unless you want a look of a log cabin its best to go with touches of wood here and there.

4. Cabinets

Now, it’s time to design the interior. Over the past five years of traveling to Italy, I’ve developed a deep fascination with Tuscany. Consequently, I’ve incorporated a few simple, natural elements reminiscent of Italian architectural details into my home. To achieve an old-world charm, I opted not to add upper cabinets. Instead, I opted for wood on the walls, shelving by the oven, reclaimed wood below the oven fan, and a wood top island.oven fan and a wood top island.

5. Tabby Concrete:

Tabby is very popular in South Carolina, especially in the Low Country where I live. I added tabby on the outside of the oven fan, the fireplace and on the lower exterior of the home.

6. Beams throughout the living space.

The builder discovered the beams at an old building in Georgia. We incorporated them throughout the foyer, dining room, and living room space. Since the floor plan is very open, it had a loft-like feel.

6. Barnwood

I added Barnwood in the ceilings in the bedroom and half of the bath. I had the painters whitewashed instead of stained wood color. As I said earlier I didn’t want too much wood throughout the whole house.

7. The Exterior of My Palmetto Bluff Home

We opted for partial cedar siding on the front of the house, while the sides were made of wood planks. The roof is metal.

8. Landscape

For the landscaping, we designed a circular driveway. We planted indigent plants like saw palmettos and grasses. For the back yard, we installed lighting and walking paths. There was a big fire pit for fun entertaining with family and friends.
