If you have been searching for community, not just a neighborhood, you've found the breath of fresh air you've been craving along the winding banks of the Northeast Cape Fear River. Nature, sustainability, and connection are at the heart of River Bluffs. More than a third of the community is preserved as open space, creating a charming, low-impact environment with miles of walking trails and gathering spaces.
Residents enjoy two resort-style pools, two fitness centers, a community center with an on-site restaurant, and a vibrant social calendar filled with clubs and activities. The sports complex offers pickleball, tennis, half-court basketball, bocce ball, and horseshoes, while a children's playground ensures there is something for everyone. Riverfront amenities include a half-mile boardwalk, a marina with boat slips available for purchase, a kayak and boat launch, and a riverside pavilion perfect for sunsets on the water. A working community farm with resident garden plots further reflects the neighborhood's commitment to sustainability. Even your fur baby will enjoy the social scene and meeting four-legged friends at the dog park.
Nestled in the Cottage Park section of River Bluffs and perched on a premium corner lot, the beautifully crafted cottage-style home at 166 Kerr Landing Drive is a blend of timeless design and low-maintenance living. Built in 2022, the home reflects quality construction and enduring finishes while embracing the community's philosophy of preservation and outdoor living. Its exterior color palette blends harmoniously with the lush surroundings. Sip & swing on the front porch or unwind in the screened porch overlooking the spacious, fenced yard. Inside, rich LVP flooring stretches out to welcome you, inviting you to enjoy thoughtful details throughout the home. Natural light pours into the open concept living area. A bright, white kitchen features sleek granite counters, pendant lighting over the island bar with seating, abundant cabinetry with crown molding, tile backsplash, and convenient pantry. For the chef who prefers cooking with gas, a gas line is already in place for an easy stove conversion. The serene primary suite offers a tiled shower with bench and niche, a double vanity, and a generous walk-in closet. Upstairs, a spacious bonus living area is joined by three large bedrooms with ample closet space and two full bathrooms, including one with a double vanity. A dedicated work-from-home space tucked behind a barn door provides the perfect spot to focus when needed. Peace of mind comes standard in this HERO code-rated home, constructed with energy-saving building standards such as a high-efficiency natural gas tankless water heater, Low-E windows, and a zoned HVAC system. Additional highlights include a two-car rear-entry garage, irrigation system, full-service lawn care included in the HOA, and gated community access. Ideally located just minutes from historic downtown Wilmington by car or boat, this home also offers easy access to Wrightsville Beach, shopping, dining, entertainment, and Wilmington International Airport. This is more than a home; it's a way of life. Begin your next chapter where recreation, nature, and amenities are woven into your daily routine. As Thoreau wrote, "For all Nature is doing her best each moment to make us well. She exists for no other end. Do not resist her."
