Buying real estate in Bluffton and Hilton Head often comes with an exciting decision: the calm, natural beauty of a waterfront home or the active, social lifestyle of a golf course community. The truth is, many of the Lowcountry’s most prestigious neighborhoods — including Berkeley Hall, Belfair, Colleton River, and Palmetto Bluff — are designed so you don’t have to choose.
Here, it’s possible to wake up to sweeping water views, spend your afternoon on the fairways and still return to a home surrounded by the amenities and charm that make Lowcountry living so unique.
The Waterfront Lifestyle
Owning a waterfront property in the Bluffton and Hilton Head areas is about more than the view — it’s about living in rhythm with nature. Morning sunrises over tidal creeks, the calming presence of lagoons, and breezes off the May River or the Atlantic create a daily backdrop that feels like a retreat.
What you can expect:
- A deep connection to the outdoors. Boating, fishing, crabbing, and kayaking are part of everyday life when the water is at your doorstep.


- Unmatched privacy and tranquility. Many waterfront homes are tucked into peaceful enclaves that feel secluded yet remain close to community amenities.


- A natural extension of Lowcountry living. Even while enjoying the quiet of the water, you’re never far from vibrant social spaces like clubhouses, fitness centers, and dining venues.


- Waterfront living means every day feels like a getaway — and it’s easy to see why these properties are among the most coveted in the region.
The Golf Course Lifestyle
For many, golf course communities represent the heartbeat of Lowcountry living. With lush fairways, championship courses, and stunning landscapes woven into the neighborhoods, a golf view property puts you in the middle of a lifestyle centered on activity and connection.
What you can expect:
- A calendar full of activity. From golf rounds to tennis matches, fitness classes, and community dining events, these neighborhoods are built around recreation and camaraderie.


- Stunning views beyond your backyard. Perfectly maintained greens and tree-lined fairways extend the beauty of your property.


- A strong sense of place. Golf course communities in Bluffton and Hilton Head often serve as hubs for social life, where neighbors become friends and every season brings new events.


- Living on or near the course is about more than golf — it’s about embracing a lifestyle filled with opportunities to connect, stay active, and enjoy resort-style amenities every day.
The Best of Both Worlds
The true beauty of Lowcountry real estate is that you don’t always have to choose between water and fairways. Many gated communities are thoughtfully designed to offer both. Imagine starting your morning with a boat ride, spending the afternoon on the back nine, and ending the evening at the clubhouse with neighbors who share your love for the Lowcountry lifestyle.
At Delcher & Delcher, we specialize in helping buyers discover homes that reflect their vision — whether it’s waterfront, golf view, or the rare opportunity to enjoy both.Â
The Lowcountry is more than a destination; it’s a way of life.
And here, your dream property is waiting.
