Hey, everyone. Welcome back to another community spotlight. Today, we're gonna talk about Riversea Plantation. Hi. My name is Brian Schrader. I'm with the coastline NC Real Estate Group at BlueCoast Realty Corporation. River Sea is located along the, Lockwood Valley River, as you can see here. It's, uh, 2 closest beaches are gonna be both Holden Beach and Oak Island. So you have best of both worlds. And your closest towns are gonna be the town of Shalote and also the historic downtown, Riverfront of Southport, which you can see here in this clip Here you'll find the water park walking trails, a fishing pier, tons of different restaurants. There's coffee shops. So it's a it's a nice little town to visit. So let's take a little closer look on the map to see where it's located. As you can see here on the red arrow, that's where Riversea sits. You can see it's close to both Holden Beach and Oak Island. It's also about 45 minutes, um, south of Wilmington and about 45 minutes north of Myrtle Beach. So if we take another closer look at the community, you'll see here, this is a flood map. You'll find that since it is on the Marsh front and waterfront, you'll see that some of the homes sites will fall into that AA area, which is that brown area. What this means is that if you have an own home in that area that has a mortgage on it. You're required to carry some sort of flood insurance on it. Now most of the actual neighborhood, I would say, around 80% of it is not in this just mostly the homes that are on that Marshfront or waterfront along the Lockwood Valley River. So let's take a look and, uh, we're gonna talk taxes and HOA's, if you own a home in Riverside that's, assessed at around 600,000, you'll roughly pay around $25100 per year in annual real estate tax. The HOA there is around $1320 per year, What that covers is the clubhouse, the community pool, the fitness center, the entrance, the indoor pool, common area parks, the RV in boat storage, which is nice. The pickleball courts and tennis courts, and they also have a network of trails throughout the different, areas throughout the neighborhood. So taking a look, here's a shot of their, their clubhouse is a good place to where you can meet, you know, and have different functions and activities. Here's another shot of their indoor pool area, overlooking the outdoor pool area, also have a a small fitness center so you can get some exercise in. And then, we're gonna go back out and take a look at the community. As you can see, here's a shot. You can see the glockwood following river If you stretch your eyes in the background, you can almost see the Atlantic Ocean. You can see it's really close to the ocean, but not right up on it. River Sea is neat because, it's well laid out. You'll see that there's a lot of the trees that have remained. There's ponds that, uh, you know, throughout the neighborhood. Here's a shot at the Outer Pool And Clubhouse. You'll also find that they have trails throughout with boardwalks connecting one side to the other. Here's a shot at their pickleball and tennis court. Which are, you know, it's a it's a pretty active community. They also have a unique boat ramp where you can launch boats, kayaks, and canoes directly out to the Lockwood Valley River, which leads to the intracrystal waterway in Atlantic Ocean. Here is a shot of the community. You'll see that there's ponds throughout. You can see a lot of the trees have remained, They're also are they're still building in this neighborhood, which is nice if you're looking to pick up a home site and build a custom home. Uh, this might be a good fit for you. The neighborhood also has Little Park in walkways that kinda intertwine throughout the neighborhood. Here's a shot of one of their parks. It's one of their center pieces in the middle. Here's a shot, driving down the street. You'll see that most of the homes are gonna be custom homes. There's spec homes. There's a shot of, some of the construction that's going on. There's a couple of builders that have, gone into the neighborhood, and you should see here in the next couple of months, a couple of spec homes coming out of the ground. as you see here, here's a nice home being built that backs up to the woods. So it's one of the nice things about river seas that you got some you know, home sites that back up to water. You got some home sites to back up to nature. So, if you're looking for that privacy, here's a great shot of a a home site gonna come on the market with a nature upon view. So it's a really unique neighborhood. Um, if you have any questions about the neighborhood, or the HOA, what it covers, or if you're looking to maybe purchase a home site and, maybe build a rear receipt, please feel free to, to give us a call here at the number. I'm gonna post a link at the bottom of this video just like I always do that'll drive you to a page that's got everything for sale. You can check on prices, comp, see what things are, for sale. But if you have any other questions, feel free to give us a call. Again, it's Brian Schrader with the coastline NC Real Estate team at Blue Coast Realty Corporation. We hope this has been beneficial, and we hope to see you here in the next community update. Thank you.
