3150 River Hills Drive SW

Welcome to 3150 River Hills Drive SW--an elevated, nearly new coastal retreat set within the desirable waterfront community of River Hills, just moments from the Shallotte River. Perfectly positioned on a high, crowning homesite of nearly half an acre, this thoughtfully designed farmhouse-inspired home offers the ideal balance of privacy, convenience, and coastal charm--close to everything, yet peacefully removed. From the inviting covered front porch--where gentle ocean breezes drift in from just miles downriver--you'll enjoy filtered water views and the perfect setting to relax and unwind. Step inside to a bright, open-concept floor plan where spacious living and effortless entertaining come together. The main living area flows seamlessly into a well-appointed dining space and a stunning kitchen designed to impress. Featuring a large center island, quartz countertops, tile backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, stainless steel appliances, and reverse osmosis water filtration, the kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful. Throughout the home, you'll find oak-toned LVP flooring, craftsman-style trim, upgraded lighting, and designer ceiling fans that add warmth and character. The split-bedroom layout ensures privacy and comfort, with a generous primary suite overlooking the front lawn and river-facing side of the home. The ensuite bath offers a dual vanity, tiled walk-in shower, and a spacious walk-in closet with custom shelving. Two additional bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned on the opposite side of the home, sharing a well-finished guest bath--ideal for family, guests, or flexible use as office space. Outdoor living is where this property truly shines. Since construction, the home has been enhanced with a screened-in porch, an expansive rear deck perfect for entertaining, and a fully fenced backyard offering both privacy and versatility. A large laundry/mudroom provides a practical transition to the outdoor living areas. Additional highlights include an oversized garage with tall ceilings, ample storage, and low POA dues. Residents of River Hills enjoy access to a clubhouse and pool overlooking the Shallotte River, all within a community that preserves the natural beauty and ambiance of its maritime forest setting. Location is everything--and this one delivers. Just minutes from downtown Shallotte, Hwy 17, local shopping, dining, parks, and golf. Approximately 10-15 minutes to Ocean Isle Beach and Holden Beach, and within easy reach of Wilmington (ILM) and Myrtle Beach (MYR) international airports. Whether you're seeking a primary residence, coastal getaway, or investment opportunity, this home offers the lifestyle you've been waiting for. Come experience it for yourself--and make it yours by summer.
