About This Home

As of October 2025

Introducing an exquisite opportunity to own an unparalleled deep-water estate on the Georgia Coast. Nestled within the prestigious gated community of Sutherland Bluff, this remarkable residence embodies the essence of coastal luxury living.
Set amidst a serene canopy of majestic live oaks and lush gardens, the property offers the rare combination of deep-water access at the back door and an award-winning golf course at the front. Architectural brilliance is evident throughout and panoramic river views that grace almost every room. Spanning more than 5,000 square feet, the interior has been thoughtfully designed for both elegance and functionality. Extensively renovated in 2012, the home features two master suites, including one on the main level for added convenience, along with a gourmet kitchen outfitted with high-end appliances, a formal dining room, a converted theatre and media room, a versatile home office or gym, and a bonus room with walk-up attic space located above the detached garage. Four bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bath, provide exceptional comfort and privacy, while abundant storage is available above the detached garage. Outdoors, the property unfolds like a private resort. Expansive patio and entertaining spaces overlook the river, complemented by a sparkling in-ground pool and spa. A detached three-plus car garage provides ample space for vehicles, golf carts, and recreational gear. The waterfront is every boater’s dream, with a large deep-water dock offering a low tide depth of 20 feet, a screen enclosure, an extended floating dock, and a boat lift all providing seamless access to the Intracoastal Waterway and Sapelo Sound within minutes. The estate is further enhanced by a protective sea wall, ensuring both beauty and privacy, while residents are treated daily to magical sunrises, enchanting sunsets, and the tranquility of a true coastal oasis.
Life in Sutherland Bluff is equally captivating, with amenities that include a community dock with deep-water access, a pool, clubhouse, fitness center, and tennis and pickleball courts. Residents may also enjoy golf or social membership at the scenic Sapelo Hammock Golf Club, creating opportunities for recreation and connection in a breathtaking natural setting. Perfectly positioned between Savannah and the Golden Isles, this estate offers an idyllic retreat, whether cherished as a primary residence or treasured as a vacation sanctuary, and is certain to captivate the most discerning of buyers.
