Lowcountry Two-Story with Sweeping May River Golf Views
What sets this Palmetto Bluff residence apart is the view: the living room and screened porch look directly across to the 1st hole of the May River Golf Course, providing an ever-changing, verdant backdrop to daily life. The two-story layout spans 3,395 square feet and was crafted for Lowcountry living—wood and tile floors underfoot, a metal roof overhead, and an open great room that anchors the main level. A central fireplace gives the principal living space warmth and presence while ceiling fans and a heat pump ensure comfort year-round.
The floor plan favors gathering: an expansive great room flows to the dining area and kitchen zone designed for both casual days and formal evenings, and sliding access to a screened porch and patio invites alfresco dining without insect worry. Four bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths provide private retreats for family and guests, and thoughtful finishes—solid wood details, durable tile in wet areas, and quality systems—underscore the home’s excellent condition since its 2007 construction.
Outside, the level 0.24-acre lot offers direct frontage on Blue Willow Street and unobstructed vistas over the manicured fairways. Driveway parking accommodates guests, and the exterior palette—metal roofing, wood-frame construction and mature Lowcountry landscaping—keeps maintenance manageable while preserving curb appeal.
Location is a major draw. At roughly a half-mile from Wilson Village and less than a mile to Montage Palmetto Bluff, residents enjoy immediate access to dining, boutique shopping, resort amenities and the Canoe Club. Pritchardville Elementary and May River High are highly rated within Beaufort County, making this a compelling option for primary residence buyers and those seeking a luxury vacation home with proven demand. The property is currently listed at $2,675,000 and is identified as short-term rental eligible under community zoning—buyers should verify HOA rules and rental regulations as part of due diligence.
This home lives like a signature Lowcountry retreat: generous scale, purposeful indoor-outdoor spaces, and a premier golf course setting that caters equally to active families and buyers seeking a distinguished second home in one of Bluffton’s most coveted communities.

A factual market snapshot around 42 Blue Willow St.
Palmetto Bluff’s luxury segment is currently favoring sellers. Recent, immediate sales on Blue Willow Street—38, 40 and 44 Blue Willow—closed between November 2025 and January 2026 with sale prices ranging from $2.36M to $2.65M and price-per-square-foot values roughly between $750 and $830. That cluster of comps points to brisk demand for comparable golf-course-view homes and supports the current list price of $2,675,000. Inventory of high-end homes inside Palmetto Bluff remains limited, and buyer interest is sustained by the community’s amenities and constrained land availability.
For this property type—single-family luxury residences with golf course exposure—time-to-contract tends to be shorter than the broader market, driven by lifestyle buyers who prioritize location and turnkey condition. Key data points: multiple nearby comps have closed recently (late 2025–early 2026), the sales-comparison price-per-square-foot estimate for this property is about $765, and valuation models place fair value between $2.5M–$2.7M. Investors considering short-term rental income should confirm local regulations and HOA policies; similarly, prospective buyers should verify HOA fees, property tax obligations, and conduct a professional inspection. Overall, this is a favorable window to buy in Palmetto Bluff if seeking a premium golf-view home with strong appreciation dynamics.
