Set within Kiawah Island’s coveted Egret/Pintail neighborhood, 565 Bufflehead Drive presents a beautifully reimagined coastal retreat overlooking the scenic fairways of Osprey Point Golf Course. Set on a 0.41-acre homesite with maritime forest, lagoon, and golf views, the residence offers approximately 4,400 square feet, five bedrooms, and four-and-one-half baths, creating an exceptional setting for both private relaxation and elegant entertaining.
Originally built in 2007 and thoughtfully renovated in 2025, the home has been meticulously redesigned through a collaboration between The Guest House Studio and luxury builder RenewUrban, resulting in a seamless blend of architectural elegance and contemporary comfort.
The main living area offers a bright and inviting gathering space that reflects Kiawah’s timeless coastal aesthetic. Styled in bright whites, coastal blues, and soft neutral sand tones, the room evokes the colors of the surrounding shoreline. Large windows invite abundant natural light while framing tranquil Lowcountry views, and designer lighting fixtures throughout the living areas add warmth and sophistication. A fireplace anchors the room, flanked by custom built-in cabinetry, providing both architectural character and elegant storage. The open layout flows seamlessly into the kitchen and dining spaces, creating an ideal setting for relaxed everyday living and gracious entertaining.
The chef’s kitchen serves as the home’s social centerpiece, featuring floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry by HWC of Charleston, expansive premium unhoned marble countertops, and a generous central island with seating for three. A professional appliance suite includes a Wolf dual-fuel range, Thermador refrigerator/freezer, Bosch dishwasher, and Scotsman ice maker, while a butler’s pantry with a built-in Miele coffee system adds both convenience and refined functionality.
The adjacent dining room offers seating for eight beneath an exquisite lighting fixture, with expansive windows filling the space with natural light and connecting seamlessly to the surrounding living areas. The first-floor primary suite serves as a private wellness retreat featuring a Thermasol digital steam shower with integrated Sonos audio, hydrotherapy body sprays, marble bench seating, and dual custom walk-in wardrobes. A private home office on the first floor provides a quiet and comfortable workspace.
Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms, well-appointed baths, and a media room provide inviting accommodations for family and guests.
Outdoors, the private pool terrace has been transformed into a year-round resort-style sanctuary featuring a dual-climate pool heat pump, CoastalMister automated mosquito system, architectural landscape lighting, and a motorized outdoor cinema with a 65-inch Sony Bravia 4K display and Sonos audio, creating unforgettable evenings under the Lowcountry sky. Just beyond, a grilling and dining space invites effortless al fresco gatherings.
Additional highlights include an elevator serving all floors, home office, theater space, integrated sound system, security monitoring, and tankless water heater.
Offered fully furnished with the opportunity for Kiawah Island Club Golf Membership, 565 Bufflehead Drive is a rare opportunity to enjoy refined island living in one of Kiawah’s most sought-after neighborhoods, with serene views across the fairways of Osprey Point Golf Course and the natural beauty that defines Kiawah Island.
