A Legacy Lowcountry Property Hidden in Plain Sight. Some properties are measured in square footage. Others are measured in feeling. Rabbit Island belongs to the latter. This is one of Bluffton's rarest waterfront offerings! There are places in the Lowcountry that feel almost untouched by time and Rabbit Island is one of them. A legacy estate tucked near the end of Pinckney Colony Road beyond the daffodil fields and beneath the canopied oak drive- 90 Calhoun Plantation offers an extraordinarily rare 2.24-acre island-like retreat surrounded by sweeping marsh, oyster banks, conservation land, and nearly 360-degree views of the Colleton River.

Accessible by a short private causeway, this secluded waterfront sanctuary captures the quiet, natural beauty that has defined Bluffton's riverfront landscape for generations. Completely renovated in 2020, the 4 bed, 4-bath residence blends relaxed Lowcountry comfort with everyday livability. An airy "Oyster House" like open floor plan, gourmet kitchen, brick fireplaces, and expansive porches create a warm and inviting setting for family, guests, and riverfront entertaining. Outside, the property becomes something even more special for the boater, angler, naturalist, or preservation-minded buyer, Rabbit Island offers a lifestyle that cannot be duplicated- a true sportsman's & nature lover's retreat with a private dock, float, pier, & 10,000-lb lift, offering exceptional boating access to the Broad River, Port Royal Sound, Downtown Beaufort, Hilton Head Island, Savannah, & the Atlantic.

The offering includes two parcels, creating added flexibility and potential for an additional structure. A workshop with plumbing & electricity, equipment shed, covered parking, two-stall barn, & fenced paddocks further enhance the property's utility & character. Set within one of Bluffton's most distinctive agricultural riverfront corridors, Rabbit Island is not simply a home or parcel. It is a legacy property- private, historic, naturally beautiful, & nearly impossible to recreate.

Some properties are not simply found; they are discovered. Rabbit Island is one of those rare Lowcountry places that still feels hidden, even to many who have lived in Bluffton for generations. Set near the end of Pinckney Colony Road, 90 Calhoun Plantation Road occupies a remarkable 2.24-acre island-like setting along the upper reaches of the Colleton River, surrounded by tidal marshes, oyster beds, river bends, and some of the most unspoiled scenery remaining in southern Beaufort County. Here, the view feels less like a backdrop and more like a living piece of Lowcountry history.

This part of Bluffton has always been shaped by the water. Long before modern roads and neighborhoods, the Colleton and Okatie river systems served as natural corridors for Native American communities, early settlement, agriculture, trade, fishing, and transportation. The surrounding landscape later became part of the broader plantation and agricultural world that defined much of the coastal Lowcountry, with lands tied to old family holdings, riverfront farms, and the historic Pinckney Colony corridor.

That context gives Rabbit Island a depth that few waterfront properties can offer: it is set within a historically significant Lowcountry landscape where marsh, river, and heritage remain visibly intertwined. The Pinckney Colony area itself is part of what makes this property so compelling. While much of Bluffton transformed rapidly in recent decades, this corridor retained a quieter, more agricultural character, passing horse farms, timber tracts, family compounds, open fields, and moss-draped oaks. It is one of the few remaining places where the Lowcountry still reveals itself slowly- through winding dirt roads, river light, pastureland, and the rhythm of the tides rather than through gates and rooftops.

Rabbit Island sits at the edge of that world, offering a rare sense of privacy and authenticity that cannot be manufactured. The offering also includes two parcels, along with a workshop with plumbing and electricity, equipment shed, covered parking, a two-stall barn, and fenced paddocks. These elements give the property the rare flexibility and character of an old Lowcountry holding — part river retreat, part sporting property, part family compound, and part conservation-minded sanctuary.

Rabbit Island is not merely a waterfront home. It is a private world at the edge of Bluffton’s historic river country, a place where the landscape still tells the story, and where ownership feels less like acquisition and more like stewardship.
