Exceptionally cared for, one-owner home in gated River Run Plantation! Situated on a spacious double homesite beneath numerous mature oak trees, 3406 Marlin Drive offers a wonderful combination of privacy, space and the relaxed coastal lifestyle. The sellers purchased this Jamestown home by Clayton Homes new and have been its only owners. Used exclusively as a second home and never as a rental, the property has averaged only approximately 60 days of use per year--and the exceptional condition reflects just how gently it has been enjoyed and meticulously maintained. The home is situated on a permanent foundation and offers approximately 1,670 square feet with a desirable split-bedroom floor plan. The spacious primary suite includes a large bedroom, two walk-in closets and private bath with soaking tub, separate shower and private water closet. Across the home, both guest bedrooms are generously sized and offer walk-in closets, providing impressive storage throughout. At the heart of the home, the kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, plenty of workspace and a center island perfect for gathering and entertaining. The adjoining living room is equally spacious and features a fireplace ready for the next owner to personalize--the sellers never installed gas logs. A dedicated laundry room provides direct access to the rear screened porch. Outdoor living is just as inviting. The sellers added a covered front porch, large rear screened porch and adjoining open deck, creating multiple places to relax and enjoy the peaceful setting and mature trees. A 12' x 12' storage building provides excellent storage and can accommodate a golf cart, which is permitted within the community. The large gravel driveway provides ample parking for owners, boats and guests. With approximately .43 acre, the double homesite also provides additional outdoor space and potential for future improvements or an accessory structure, subject to POA, septic and applicable governmental approvals. Major improvements and maintenance have not been overlooked. The HVAC was replaced in 2025, the septic system was pumped in 2019, and a termite bond is currently in place through 2029 with annual inspections and an annual renewal fee. The property is served by county water and an on-site septic system. And then there is River Run Plantation. This unique gated community along the Lockwood Folly River includes both manufactured and site-built homes in separately established areas of the community. Amenities include a community swimming pool, clubhouse, basketball court, tennis/pickleball courts, gated boat and RV storage, approximately 400-foot fishing pier on the Lockwood Folly River, and a canoe/kayak launch from the community dock off Marina Drive. With annual POA dues of only $855, property owners enjoy an impressive collection of amenities for a remarkably reasonable annual cost. For boaters and fishermen, the location is especially appealing--the Sunset Harbor public boat launch is only approximately 2.6 miles away. Yet River Run remains tucked away from the busier coastal areas while keeping everything within reach: approximately 13 miles to the beaches of Oak Island, 16 miles to historic downtown Southport's waterfront, 17 miles to Holden Beach, 34 miles to downtown Wilmington and 32 miles to Little River, SC. The property is located in the South Brunswick school district, with a Charter School less than three miles away. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, coastal second home or a home base for boating and fishing adventures, 3406 Marlin Drive offers something increasingly difficult to find: space, privacy, mature trees, extensive community amenities and a home that has been exceptionally cared for since day one.
