Just 12 miles from the resort island of Hilton Head, perched on a high bluff overlooking the May River, lies a most unusual corner of heaven on earth. Bluffton might best be described as an eclectic mix of past and present, old and new, big and small. Until recent years, the sleepy little oyster town, steeped in history and oozing Southern charm, was mostly known for its quirky, creative side, boasting a relaxed Lowcountry atmosphere, often referred to as the “Bluffton state of mind.” Awakened by a surge of new growth, the town is now home to some of the area’s best shopping, both casual and fine dining, bustling businesses, world-class golf courses and myriad entertainment options.

Yet Old Town Bluffton has retained its flavor, and the state of mind prevails. Historic buildings and churches, antebellum homes, art galleries and antique shops mingle seamlessly with the more modern amenities, including a vast array of new residential developments. The addition of new schools (including a University of South Carolina campus) along with the building of new roadways, parks and medical facilities as well as close proximity to Hilton Head Island, Beaufort, Charleston and Savannah, GA, has made Bluffton an ideal location for working families with children as well as retirees, second home and vacation home buyers.

Real estate opportunities range from super affordable homes and home sites to multi-million dollar estates, many with river, marsh or lakeside views. Whether you are a golfer, boating enthusiast, fisherman, art aficionado, student, entrepreneur or beach bum, Bluffton is calling your name. Come get a taste of easy living served up with a hefty dose of Southern hospitality. You’ll soon find yourself in the Bluffton state of mind.
