    What's special

    Updated homeNewer roofPlenty of privacyBrand new water heaterInterior and exterior paintNearly an acrePex plumbing
    An updated home in the "GOLF CART ZONE" of Old Town Bluffton is hard enough to find. Add 2,350 sq. ft., 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and .78 acres backing to the Fern Lakes lagoon and 1.5-mile water trail, and you've landed squarely in the Bluffton real estate sweet spot.This is the kind of homesite that is getting harder and harder to find in Bluffton: nearly an acre, mature landscaping, plenty of privacy, and actual breathing room between you and your neighbors. The backyard is big enough to become whatever fits your version of Lowcountry living, whether that means adding a pool, creating an outdoor entertaining space, planting a garden, or simply giving the dogs plenty of room to roam. And... you are right in the middle of everything. Golf cart or bike into Old Town for coffee, the farmers market, dinner, shopping, live music, festivals, and Town events. Spend the evening walking along the May River, launch the boat from nearby Alljoy Boat Landing (currently getting a major renovation!), or head to Hilton Head Island with the bridge just minutes away. It is a central location that makes everyday life easier while keeping the best parts of Bluffton close.The big-ticket updates are already handled, too. Recent improvements include a newer roof & HVAC system, brand new water heater, PEX plumbing, siding, luxury vinyl plank flooring, interior and exterior paint, and paver patio. That means less time worrying about the unglamorous stuff and more time making the house feel like yours. Fern Lakes also offers the neighborhood amenities people actually use, including a community pool, playground, common boat storage, and access to the lagoon water trail, all with refreshingly low POA fees. Golf cart to town. Boat from Alljoy. Be on Hilton Head in minutes. Then come home to your own private little corner of Bluffton.
