Palmetto Bluff has put golf-view land on the market for the first time in two decades, by its own count, and the whole release fits on one street. It is called Crossroads: ten homesites, released this fall, each one permitted for a private dock.
The site plan says more than the photography does. The ten lots, numbered 6805 through 6814, line a single road, Tamarisk Street, which ends in a cul-de-sac. Every lot runs down to the water, and every dock on the plan points the same direction, across the channel toward the Crossroads course. Palmetto Bluff sets the collection along its Inland Waterway, the community's own boating channel, not the Intracoastal. On the other side of the street, the plan labels the land Protected Forest. Golf across the water, forest across the street. You can count your future neighbors on one sheet of paper. There are nine, and they all face the same way you do.
The view is the unusual part. Crossroads is a nine-hole course by Rob Collins and Tad King of King-Collins, opened in spring 2024, and it is built to be rearranged. Two separate routings, The Hammer and The Press, switch every other day, and each can be played in reverse. "It's a golf course that's never going to play the same one day to the next," Collins told Golf.com. For a lot owner, that is a fairway view that resets itself, which is a better problem than most views have. It is one of three courses at the Bluff, alongside the Jack Nicklaus May River course and Coore & Crenshaw's Anson Point.
Palmetto Bluff places Crossroads between Wilson Village and Moreland, with Anson Village still to come, and each homesite includes membership in the Palmetto Bluff Club.
Three things to settle before the view does the deciding. First, price: Palmetto Bluff has not published one, so there is no number to anchor to yet. Second, the forest. "Protected" is a label on a plan the developer itself calls illustrative, with final boundaries subject to recorded plats and surveys. Ask what actually protects that land and get it in writing. The same plan marks a block to the north as Future Development, a fair reminder that not everything nearby is finished. Third, a dock permit is not a dock. Ask what is approved, what it allows, and who builds it.
The real story is scarcity. A community that has not released golf-view land in twenty years, then releases ten lots of it, has decided how much of that view it wants to sell. The only thing that would make ten lots scarcer is nine.
This is general information, not investment advice.
