Description

Coastal Living on the Julienton RiverThe real draw of Sutherland Bluff Plantation is the water. This home sits directly on the Julienton River, a tidal system that feels private and untouched, winding through the marsh before connecting to the Sapelo River and the Intracoastal Waterway. From here, you have a straight shot to Sapelo Sound and the Atlantic. Whether you are running a boat out to Sapelo Island for the afternoon or navigating the backcountry creeks to fish for redfish at sunrise, the access is direct and functional.This is a gated community that avoids the high-traffic, resort-heavy energy of other coastal developments. It is a place where the primary modes of transport are golf carts and boats. The community infrastructure includes a riverside clubhouse, a pool, a fitness center, and a community dock positioned on the main channel. For those who value the game, the Sapelo Hammock Golf Club is immediately adjacent, offering an 18-hole coastal layout woven through live oaks and marshland. It is a quiet, established setting halfway between the culture of Savannah and the beaches of the Golden Isles.The ResidenceCompleted in 2022, in a certified X flood zone, the home was built with long-term coastal durability in mind, featuring HardiePlank concrete siding, a raised slab foundation, and spray foam insulation.
