539 Bufflehead Dr

Located within Kiawah Island’s private Vanderhorst Plantation and set behind the Island’s second gate, 539 Bufflehead Drive is an elegant, custom-designed and fully furnished residence. Recently renovated by Marc Camens, this seven-bedroom, six-and-a-half-bathroom home sits prominently on a half-acre homesite overlooking Egret Pond and the second hole of the Osprey Point Golf Course. 539 Bufflehead also provides easy access to many of the Island’s notable amenities, including the Bass Pond fishing dock, River Course clubhouse, and proximity to the beach.

As you enter the home, you’ll find a cozy sitting area, that could also serve as an office space. As you make your way into the primary living room, a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows give way to the stunning lagoon and golf course views just beyond and allowing for plenty of natural light to stream through. This space is highlighted by soaring coffered ceilings and anchored by a gas fireplace featuring a honed marble surround with custom built-ins flanking either side.

An adjacent chef’s kitchen and dining room are thoughtfully appointed, including a spacious center island with bar seating for five, white custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, top-grade, GE stainless steel appliances and high-end finishes throughout. Additional kitchen features include a walk-in pantry with custom shelving and a separate butler’s pantry featuring a wet bar.
Conveniently tucked away behind the kitchen, you’ll find the laundry room with extensive cabinetry, a utility sink, and a dedicated workspace.

The dining space can seat up to ten and offers even more incredible views of the lagoon and golf course to enjoy while hosting both small and large gatherings. Just through the dining room, you’ll find the screened-in porch, with 180-degree views. The incredible outdoor living space includes an expansive rear deck that runs the length of the home with multiple seating and dining areas.

Central to this outdoor retreat is an infinity-edge pool, oriented to maximize views. Additionally, this space hosts a covered outdoor kitchen and bar area with granite countertops, built-in grill, sink, and ample bar seating, all perfectly ideal for entertaining and year-round outdoor dining.

A guest suite located on the first floor offers a tranquil retreat. Large windows frame peaceful views of the lagoon and golf course, and direct access to the rear deck further enhances this private space. An en suite bathroom features double sinks, quartz tops, and a glass-doored walk-in shower.

As you journey up to the second floor, you’re greeted with a spacious landing area, which is currently being used as an office space, but could easily be turned into an additional living space as well. French doors open to a small balcony, with breathtaking views below. This second level features four additional bedrooms, each with en suite baths and customized closets including a gorgeous primary suite. Your personal oasis has an oversized bedroom with room for seating with a peaked ceiling. A luxurious bath includes two free standing vanities, dressing table, large shower and separate tub. The closet is an organizer’s dream and completes the stylish suite.

On the third floor, you’re greeted with yet another large, additional living space, perfect for cozy movie nights and two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom.
Additional property features include a residential elevator servicing the first two floors, a mudroom/drop zone conveniently located off the garage entrance, equipped with custom built-ins for storage, and a spacious two-car garage, with room for more parking. The home offers substantial storage spaces, including climate-controlled closets, extensive cabinetry, and dedicated attic space.
