3254 Island Drive SE

Welcome to River Run Plantation! - a serene, gated, waterfront community on the Lockwood Folly River. This listing includes the adjacent lot on Island Dr and offers several options: Enjoy the shade and wildlife from your screened-in porch, combine the 2 parcels and add on to the house with reduced HOA fees, build another home while you live next door, or keep the extra lot as an investment for future construction. Total POA dues for 2025, for both lots, were $1480/yr ($124/mo). The neighborhood is halfway between Wilmington and North Myrtle Beach, and just minutes away from area beaches, golf and the picturesque town of Southport. Amenities include 2 fishing piers, pool, playground, pickleball/tennis, basketball, small boat ramp, kayak launch, and clubhouse activities. A state-maintained boat ramp on the Intracoastal Waterway is just 2 miles away. This well-maintained brick home is surrounded by beautiful trees and mature landscaping. Special features include a workshop/storage/craft room off the two-car garage; a kitchen designed for serious cooks with a new 36'' KitchenAid range; and a gas fireplace, built-in shelves and window bench in the living room. Two of the bedrooms are generously sized and can accommodate 2 queen or a king bed. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet and accessible layout. Other updates include a new roof (2024), HVAC (2019), and refinished cabinets and floors. Whether as a full-time residence or a coastal retreat, this home and lot offer a rare opportunity to enjoy a little piece of paradise!
