Palmetto Bluff Custom Home: A Modern Lowcountry Retreat
Tucked within the tranquil beauty of South Carolina’s Lowcountry, a newly completed family retreat in Palmetto Bluff exemplifies the art of custom homebuilding. Designed with intention, inspired by global influences, and built for multigenerational living, this nearly 9,000-square-foot residence—crafted by Randy Jeffcoat Builders—proves that luxury and livability can coexist seamlessly.
Whether you’re dreaming of your own custom home or simply admiring exquisite craftsmanship, this project is a masterclass in modern Lowcountry living.
A Family-First Vision, Expertly Executed
For homeowners Oscar and Divina Acharandio, Palmetto Bluff was already rich with personal memories. But when their growing family needed a home large enough to gather, relax, and play, they knew it was time to build.
Their vision? A retreat that was luxurious yet warm, spacious yet intimate, and functional for all generations. The result is a true family compound, featuring a Main House with four bedrooms, a Guest House with three bedrooms, a Bunkroom for grandchildren, and expansive indoor and outdoor play areas—all designed to achieve aesthetic harmony between architecture and nature.
“We wanted something calming... a place where the whole family could be together,” shared Divina Acharandio.
Modern Lowcountry Architecture with Global Influence
Architect Zach Brown of KRA Architecture + Design captured the heart of Lowcountry style while introducing unique international elements. Inspired by heavy timber traditions, Scandinavian minimalism, and Japanese materials, the design blends rustic textures with modern lines.
- Charred wood exteriors for a dramatic yet natural presence
- Vaulted timber ceilings that speak to historical craftsmanship
- Slatted oak ceilings with concealed lighting for clean, modern lines
- Glass corridors that serve as seamless transitions between private and public zones
“Every step through the home is intentional,” said Brown. The architecture invites movement, creating a living experience that feels like a journey—one filled with light, space, and connection.
Interior Design that Blends Sophistication and Soul
Interior designer Shell Neely of Kelly Caron Designs infused the home with warmth, texture, and family-friendly charm. Her design vision embraced the Acharandios’ desire for modern elegance softened by comfort.
- White oak ceilings and neutral palettes with layered textures
- Black and gold accents balanced by soft ivory, green, and blue tones
- Custom-designed rooms with cohesive palettes and individual personality
- Spa-like master suite with wood veneer wall coverings and linen-textured tile
- Statement wine room with a glowing backlit stone slab
- Glamorous bar area featuring metallic wallpaper accents
“It didn’t feel like a cold modern box. It feels like home,” said Neely.
A Builder’s Touch: Craftsmanship and Cutting-Edge Tech
At the heart of this exceptional home is the team at Randy Jeffcoat Builders, known across the Lowcountry for bringing visionary homes to life with precision and care.
- White oak detailing throughout ceilings, doorways, and trim work
- Seamless collaboration between architect, designer, and build team
- Meticulous attention to surface transitions and craftsmanship
- Integration of Josh AI, a powerful smart home assistant system
“It was our first time using ‘Josh,’ and it made the house feel futuristic while still personal,” noted Rhett Jeffcoat.
This is more than a custom home—it’s a forward-thinking, livable sanctuary where technology supports, not overwhelms.
Built for Outdoor Living & Lifelong Memories
Beyond the walls of the home, the property opens up into a true family playground. With entertaining and connection in mind, Randy Jeffcoat Builders brought the outdoor vision to life.
- Pickleball court
- Basketball court
- Playground with a shrimp boat
- Grassy lawn for sports and family games
“It’s already full of memories,” said Divina.
This Palmetto Bluff custom home is more than a retreat—it’s a place where generations come together, where childhoods unfold, and where life slows down enough to enjoy it.
