After stamping their legacy across America's gridirons, football royalty Jason and Tamy Elam have scored their greatest residential touchdown yet—a showstopping coastal estate within the prestigious Palmetto Bluff community in Bluffton, South Carolina.
Jason, the celebrated placekicker who propelled the Broncos to back-to-back Super Bowl victories in the late 90s, has traded in cleats for sun-drenched relaxation at 8 Bells Park South. This exquisite 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath residence, tucked into the coveted Point neighborhood, represents a new era of Lowcountry luxurious living for the Hall of Fame athlete and his wife Tamy, a former Broncos cheerleader.
From the moment you step inside, the coastal grandeur is palpable. The foyer's soaring ceilings, judges paneling, and designer wallpaper set the tone for a masterclass in refined yet relaxed elegance. The great room is a showstopper, anchored by antique heart pine floors, vaulted ceilings dripping with coastal charm, and magnificent windows ushering in warm natural light. The chef's kitchen is sure to be a family hotspot, outfitted with sparkling stainless steel appliances, custom inset cabinetry, marble countertops, and a massive island perfectly poised for entertaining. Nearby, the formal dining room channels plantation estate vibes through crisp wainscoting and an elegant tray ceiling.
The home's 4 bedrooms are generous retreats, with each featuring ensuite baths. But the true centerpiece is the sprawling owner's suite, a private oasis complete with a newly renovated spa-inspired bathroom, dual vanities, a massive walk-in shower, and an oversized walk-in closet with custom built-ins.
Outdoor living reigns supreme, with the covered lanai featuring a stately wood-burning fireplace that will beckon on cool Bluffton evenings. A newly installed backyard firepit area provides another picturesque venue for alfresco entertaining against the lush natural backdrop. This exclusive neighborhood places them within a short stroll of an array of world-class amenities. Wilson Village's boutique shops, gourmet eateries, and full-service marina are just minutes from their doorstep, as is The Wilson Lawn and Racquet Club. Golfers will delight in the easy access to the celebrated May River Golf Club course, masterfully designed by Jack Nicklaus himself. But perhaps the neighborhood's most impressive perk is the private dock along the May River, offering residents exclusive water privileges in this laidback lowcountry paradise. For the Elams, The Point delivers a life of luxurious ease in Palmetto Bluff's amenity-rich heart.
For these Denver sports icons, their stunning new South Carolina haven represents the ultimate luxury living experience—a seamless fusion of coastal serenity and Lowcountry refinement befitting the mansion's pedigree. It's a compelling new chapter for the celebrated couple in one of the region's most coveted communities.
