About This Home

Coastal Living on the Julienton River The 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 Residence Completed 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. The layout is designed for effortless livability: Primary Suite: Located on the main level, featuring a sitting area and a bathroom with a double vanity, garden tub, and separate tiled shower. Gourmet Kitchen: Equipped with a large island, breakfast bar, and high-end Bosch appliances, including a convection wall oven and separate cooktop. Independent Guest Suite: One of the four upstairs bedrooms has been converted into a full mother-in-law suite, complete with its own kitchen, full-size refrigerator, stove, and convection microwave. Finished Flex Space: The 300-square-foot room above the garage is fully finished with flooring and dedicated climate control, ideal for a home office or studio. Mechanical Integrity: The home is integrated with a 24kw propane-powered Generac whole-house generator and a Rinnai tankless water heater with a recirculation loop. Outdoor Living and Water Access The lot spans over half an acre and is professionally landscaped with mature live oaks, hickory, and magnolia trees. A large 12x40 screened porch across the back of the house functions as a secondary living area, complete with an outdoor kitchen setup and views of the 172 feet of marsh frontage. The back porch even has a set of dog doors so you can keep your seat. The yard is partially fenced with ornamental metal and includes a full irrigation system and landscape lighting. The home’s gas features, including the stove and outdoor grill, are fueled by a buried private propane tank. The garage includes two bays plus a dedicated golf cart door and storage space. While the community dock provides excellent water access, the current owner has already initiated inquiries with the DNR and a dock builder, confirming that a private deep-water dock is a viable addition for this property. This is a move-in-ready home for someone looking for the authentic Georgia coast where the lifestyle is defined by the tide, the golf cart path, and the quiet of the Julienton River.
