About the property

Located within Kiawah Island's private Vanderhorst Plantation and set behind the Island's second gate, 539 Bufflehead Drive is an elegant, custom-designed and fully furnished residence. This rare seven-bedroom, six-and-a-half-bathroom home sits prominently overlooking Egret Pond and the second hole of the Osprey Point Golf Course and has plenty of room for the whole crew!
As you enter the home, you'll find a cozy sitting area, then a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows give way to the stunning lagoon and golf course views just beyond and allowing for plenty of natural light to stream through.
An adjacent chef's kitchen and dining room are thoughtfully appointed, including a spacious center island with bar seating for five, top-grade, GE stainless steel appliances and high-end finishes throughout. Additional kitchen features include a walk-in pantry and a separate butler's pantry featuring a wet bar.
Conveniently tucked away behind the kitchen, you'll find the laundry room with extensive cabinetry, a utility sink, and a dedicated workspace.
The dining space can seat up to eight and offers even more incredible views of the lagoon and golf course to enjoy. Just through the dining room, you'll find the screened-in porch, with 180-degree views. The incredible outdoor living space includes an expansive rear deck that runs the length of the home with multiple seating and dining areas.
Central to this outdoor retreat is an infinity-edge pool, oriented to maximize views (can be heated for an additional $225 per day, four day min). Additionally, this space hosts a covered outdoor kitchen and bar area with granite countertops, built-in grill, sink, and ample bar seating, all perfectly ideal for entertaining and year-round outdoor dining.
A guest suite located on the first floor offers a tranquil retreat. Large windows frame peaceful views of the lagoon and golf course, and direct access to the rear deck further enhances this private space.

This second level features four bedrooms, two with king beds and two with a queen bed, each with en suite baths and customized closets including a gorgeous primary suite. Your personal oasis has an oversized bedroom with room for seating with a peaked ceiling. A luxurious bath includes two free standing vanities, dressing table, large shower and separate tub.

We could not have been happier. We already booked for next summer. The house was immaculate and there was everything at your fingertips to make your stay stress-free. The pool was beautiful the patio area accommodated our large group. This is the best house we’ve ever stayed at and this was our 10th year.
